Who is keeping a food journal?



Recommended Posts

I have never done this before but it was an "order" from the nutritionist and so I started on Jan 20th when I was still on mushies. I aim for 1200calories a day and actually find that keeping a food record is REALLY useful. Anyone else doing this?

I do this too. I log my food on my phone through myfitnesspal.com. I like it because it also keeps track of my weight and updates my ticker. I can log onto it on my phone or my computer.

I am trying to stay under 1000 cal, under 100g carbs, over 60g of Protein and it has been hard. The days i dont measure or log are the days i do horrible.

I love myfitnesspal I have logged like I don't know, four months in a row every single day with that app. I think it really helps to get an idea, and i love that you can track exercise too!

LOL, I am so low tech, I just write everything down. I was vigilant and strict about it then slacked off and found I needed the accountability of writing it down. Journaling has been of great help to me in making good choices.

I have been, but I really don't want to because it makes me feel like I am on a diet. I did WW for years, off and on. Journaling really does work though. :D

I log using an app called Caorie counter by Fatsecret. The apps are very easy. But paper works also. hehe I log most days, but the days I dont arent very good days. Good luck

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
