Yes I have for the past 2yrs. I love it. It integrates nicely with myfitnesspal and it has an app on your phone(DROID or iPhone).

Slow losers..... Motivational steps
caramellhoney replied to Ballermom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So sorry it took so long to take a look at your myfitnesspal journal, but I can see easily why your weight loss has stalled. You are drinking too many carbs and calories, so here are my suggestions: Here's what my NUT told me after reviewing myfitnesspal... Do not use eat or drink the following: 1. G2 – Use Powerade Zero instead 2. No smoothies of any kind, not even if you make them yourself 3. No muscle milk – it is way too high in carbs 4. No cream Soups 5. No sugar free pudding OK to use between meals : 1. Lean shake 2. Pure Protein 3. Syntax whey isolate I am guessing that you have turned to protein shakes/smoothies, etc because they are convenient for meals, but they are most likely slowing your weight loss because they are higher in carbs. Please try to have 3 meals per day with about 2 ounces of protein food and 1 ounce of fruit or veggie or appropriate whole grain. Save the shakes for between meals -
Slow losers..... Motivational steps

Can I ask what your start weight and height was? I'm in the same boat I had surgery the same day as you and started out at 293.4 I had been stalled for an entire week with the scale moving up and down. I exercise and follow the meal plan and as of yesterday morning I was 280.6 I could cry, to think I altered my body in such a major way and I'm still not losing. I could've lost 10lbs in 3 weeks on my own. -
1-week stall....REALLY?!
caramellhoney replied to CorvetteGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 7/19 I have a not lost weight since 7/30. It's been incredibly frustrating disappointing and aggravating. I started at 293.4 on surgery day and I'm at 283.2 today and over the last seven days I've seen it go as high as 286. I emailed both my NUT and the nurse and they both said it's normal and it will pass. But I'm beginning to wonder when?! It's been a week now! -

weight gain 13days post op?
caramellhoney replied to caramellhoney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not really. I feel lighter. Other people have noticed I look smaller but I weighed myself this morning and I'm still gaining I'm actually at 283.4 this morning guess that's better than the 285 that showed up when I woke u at 6am and checked. I think I'm going to email the nutritionist before I take a sledgehammer to my scale. -
Hello I'm 13 days postoperative I was sleeved on 7/19 at Celebration hospital with Dr. Kim. Up until this week I had been consistently losing at least 0.5lb or more a day. My weight at surgery was 293.4. I know I'm going to be a slow loser as I have had a thryroidectomy and I my metabolism has been shot since then. Anyways here my question?! On 7/29 I was 280.8 On 7/30 I was 280.8 On 7/31 I was 280.2 Today I was 282.4???? That weight was on the same scale after using the bathroom. I did take some stool softeners and senna lax last night. And they did work this morning so how did I gain two pounds. I'm getting in at least 60oz of fluids and at least 60grams of protein(my NUT sat my Protein goals at 81-107grams because of my height I'm 6ft tall).

caramellhoney replied to A Monarch's Journey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in the same boat I'm 16 days post op and got down to 280 at around 11 days and as of today I'm up too 282.4. Depressing but at least I know it's not fat....it's either water or poo. Just have to wait it out. -
weight gain 13days post op?
caramellhoney replied to caramellhoney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Still going up. Now I'm up to 282.8 I would laugh if I wasn't crying right now lol. I cut off 85% of my stomach just to gain weight? Talked to my nurse she mentioned starvation mood, poop, water retention blah blah blah. Upset right now. -

My time of the month is no where near. I did eat chili yesterday maybe it had a lot of sodium? I will get my thyroid hormones rechecked at my one month appt. I'm so obsessed with the scale I actually have 2 in my bathroom I weigh on. I will try to do every other day lol. -
