I've been sick for a week, and at a stall... and I figured my not dropping any weight was due to my body being busy fighting this virus. Turns out the Hall's breezers throat drops I've been sucking on constantly for about a week cannot be helping... they are 3.5 carbs a drop! I figure I've been getting over 40 extra carbs a day just having one an hour for 12 hrs. I feel like an idiot.
Since I can't do sugar free, I guess I'm going to be drinking a lot of my old standby, peppermint tea.
Gotta watch those sneaky carbs every minute!

Watch out for cough drops... carbs...
Best NSV - fitting on a kid's amusement park ride with my 4 yr old grandson!
CFIDS =Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also dx with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve complications). Permanently disabled.
Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

Yes, thank you for letting us all know. Every little thing we put in our mouths counts! Also, sugar. No sugar. No sugar. That's what Dr. Marv says. No sugar.
