Hi, Myfitnesspal is the best one for me so far. I did not find better and it syncs perfectly with my Fitbit tracker for activity. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think your passion & desire for change is 90% of the fight. The other percent is the physical & physiological which I'm sure you will conquer. Keep in mind that food is often used to comfort us when our emotions aren't managed. I strongly believe everyone should have a psychologist just to vent with & say your deepest thoughts & feelings without worrying about repercussions or hurting anyone's feelings. I do this now as my upbringing & life experience is similar to yours presently. Positive thoughts lead to positive feelings with positive outcomes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Hi,This is actually very interesting you mention this as I have done that fight alone, and now I really fee the need for psychological support so I don't sabotage my achievement. I don't have that kind of support in my entourage where nobody can get what I have been through and what I am struggling with. You are right about positive thoughts leads to better outcomes and relationship, but it is not always easy. I was in a dark place physically and emotionally. Fixing the body was "easy". For the rest, I did not find a follow such as the "brain sleeve". Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Hi I am 9 weeks out and suffering with regular vomiting similar to you? Can eat something one day and not other? Did it just seem to stop for you at some point? Thanks xx Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App h Hi, I noticed that I would get sick / vomit if I am too stressed, have a rush meal or eat too much solid Proteins at once (chicken, fish, beef). I am able to control / prevent this in a much better way now than before. And yes, I can eat some steak one day and it will make me sick another day, but that is not always the case. Take it easy and take your time to eat. Chew well too, that is important. Take care Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

9 months today.... Time flies. I am still at 208 pounds or so I think since I stopped weighting myself last month. I can eat a bit more in quantity but the sleeve is still very restrictive, and I love it! I am still losing fat and gain muscle. Gym is an addiction. 5-6 times a week. I run at least 40 miles a week...and I love it! I am very happy with this journey. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Hi, thank you for your comment . I do feel very well and that is because I am In control and that is the first time it lasts and that I don't screw it up with putting weight back. My worst days now are not even half of a regular day before. That makes all the difference. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Tomorrow I go for month 8 in my journey. I stopped weighting myself for about a month now. I know I keep losing because of my clothes. I already need new pants. I keep going to the gym. I eat what I want, when I want and follow the same basic rules that work for me. Log the food, eat healthy and when you don't... Go running and back to log healthy food again . I ALWAYS burn more calories than I eat in a day, even when I have something I should not. I am in the best shape of my life at 42, which is weird and That is my only regret. Why I did not do this sooner? I recover faster from heavy weight lifting sessions and my sore muscle are ready to go for another round after a good night sleep. I still try to not overdo it and keep injuries away. I drink a lot of liquids , take my vitamins. However, plain water is till a problem for me. See you next month. Take care, Mico Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I am 7 months out and I can drink a couple of beers or a few glasses of wine on the occasion. I am not even close to what I used to drink before. I did not have an alcohol addiction, but could handle pretty well ( since the weight helps a lot). I can stay without alcohol but I enjoy a drink from time to time. Something funny I noticed is that I am not getting drunk anymore. When I have too much, I basically fall asleep and I wake up without a hangover, which is a huge benefit. So for me, the sleeve even works there. And I still track the carbs of what I drink / eat. So if I had too much, on the next day a 5k is mandatory, no matter what. Mico.

Today is my 7th month anniversary . Still doing great and trying to go as much as possible to the gym. It is getting a bit more difficult as I often travel to locations where hotels don't have a gym. Sometime I go for a run or a long walk. I try to stay very active. Sleeve still works great. I don't feel hunger which is awesome. I know when to eat because I usually feel weaker, more tired... Or colleagues are reminding me to go for lunch. I became very picky on what I eat and won't waste my tiny stomach with food that is not worth it. I also know what will be well tolerated and what won't . So I don't fall into traps anymore. I hope you are all doing great. Take care, Mico. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Ok, so I will start sharing in here too. 6 months down the road post op, lost over 70 pounds, and I hit the gym 5-6 times per week, still more cardio than weight lifting. I do 15 minutes of elliptical as warm up, 30-40 minutes weights and work different muscle groups every day. I don't work on my legs as I run a 5k to finish my session. I start to see nice results in the back, arms and pectoral. Shoulders needs more work. I don't do as many abs as I should, but that is not my focus for now. I eat about 130 grams of Proteins per day when I work out and use C4 as pre workout. My training is in the morning (usually 6h45 to 8h15). I try to sleep at least 6h per night, but barely make it and it is a problem for me. Mico. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
