I'm using fatsecret.com. Hate the name, but it was the only one that I could find which would show fiber and I felt that was important to track. Also tracks calories, carbs & fat. I had been using myfitnesspal.com and really liked it, but wanted to be able to see the fiber.

I found that chicken stock tasted much better. Kitchen basics makes a good one. I also added a bunch of spices to the stock and heated it up for a few minutes, then strained them out.

Haven't tried those yet. Will have to look into them.

I hiccup, too. Usually just one or two, but I know I'm done as soon as it happens. I'm just glad the stomach noises have mostly stopped. When I was two weeks out and eating mostly soup, my stomach made these crazy noisy sounds and it would go on f-o-r-e-v-e-r.

You look great! You're rocking that sleeve!

I lost 12 pounds my first week and for the next 2.5 weeks lost 3 pounds, gained 4, lost 1 pound, gained 2, etc. Then right before my 1 month check, I lost 10 pounds practically overnight. That was on Tuesday. No idea why it's coming off like that for me, but I guess that as long as it keeps coming off, I'm ok with it.

You look fabulous! Way to go!

I've been dying for something that crunches. I've found some crackers which have some protein, but they also have 22 grams of carbs! Anyone have any suggestions for low carb food with crunch?

Hi, I also had my sleeve on the 22nd and I'm on clears for a week -- can't wait til Tuesday. Here's a link to the sorbet from DietSource: DietSource Sorbet. I checked a few of the online sites (Amazon & Drugstore.com) and couldn't find it. If you're able to find it, let us know. Be careful if you try any of the sf/ff stuff in the stores. I bought some Water ice and was having terrible tummy issues. I think it was the sorbitol that was being used in the ice. As soon as I stopped eating them, my issues went away.

Thinking of you and Julie! Hope you're both doing well. When do you come home, Secret?

Thanks so much, everyone!!!! I had a lot of pain in my shoulder from the gas on Monday and Tuesday, so the doctor kept me another night. Was definitely ready to be sprung by the time I left on Wednesday! Still had a lot of pain until yesterday, but some retail therapy (and walking) and getting cozy with my heating pad really helped. Also had some tummy issues, but I'm pretty sure it was the sucralose in the Water ice, I picked up because it stopped when I stopped having them. Not hungry at all, but am anxious to move on from Jello, broth, Water Ice, and Isopuke. Broth mostly tasted like dishwater until I figured out that I should use stock instead and add some spices which I strain out after heating. Still working on getting the spices quite right.
