@@chelly12A I got this online : Healthy adults should limit sodium intake to 2,300 milligrams per day. As you can see in my tracker I only got 1351 mg of sodium so well under the limit....and thats just the way I like it!! -

Elode replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@chelly12A Oh I keep track of my sodium for sure..I posted a look at my daily stats from my "lose it " app up above in the thread, I keep an eye on my sodium, not because I have Bp or sodium problems but because I know it will make me retain water which = weight Gain. In order to keep my sodium levels down I almost always cook my own food from fresh at home that way I know exactly what's going in my food. I do use limited amounts of salt mixed with ms dash's sodium free seasonings. I also like to use fresh herbs, and I have a tendency to eat a lot of seafood which is generally low in sodium. -
@@old_rn You should! I know about those scrubs I wear them too! Thank goodness for the draw String ones! I'm considering taking a nursing contract and I haven't put my scrubs on in forever! This should be fun...I will just buy some at my local goodwill If I need any from this point on, they are just too expensive to upgrade constantly!

Curious -- could you have done it without Weight Loss Surgery?
Elode replied to Vikingsfan8178's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@@Vikingsfan8178 No, I really don't think so. Sure I could lose weight and sometimes quit a bit but I would always put it back on plus some! I road that roller coaster ride for years, I finally got sick of it and got off! I was always hungry, even after eating a good size meal one hour later I was hungry again. I am fortunate right now that I don't have any hunger and it's the best (oddest) feeling in the world! I have no regrets! I couldn't be happier! -
@@Rovobay Thank you! It's never too late to start!

Don't stand on that moral killer everyday! Just keep doing what your doing program wise!

@@SeahawksFan I concur! I have large thick calves (that I've always HATED) so I was actually hoping for a little more than that but I will take it! Someday I will be able to zip up boots over them!

Slightly Depressed- 3 Weeks Post Op and Gaining Weight
Elode replied to MyssJones's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@MyssJones Hummm, are you drinking enough fluids? What kind of yogurt are you eating? Some yogurt is really high in sugar! Of course if it's close to time for your monthly you can easily gain that in water weight . Do you need to drink some "smooth move" tea to get things going? (I now tmi) but constipation can add the pounds too. Do you track your food? -

Elode replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@slimgal2015 I didn't start tracking until I was on regular food. I kept track of my protein and water in the beginning but that's all seeing as how little I was able to eat it didn't really matter at that time so Your doing good! -
