Not to sound like a broken record but



Recommended Posts

Man does myfitnesspal help. I never used it because I found it frustrating and I didn't want to bother and my nutritionist told me not to worry about calories. My brother (6 years post op and incredibly successful) in turn tore me a new ahole for not counting my calories and basically keeping track of what I'm eating, so I sucked it up and tried again and HOLY CRAP some of the crap I've been eating is so highhhhh in calories like almonds and milk and HALF & HALF OH SWEET JESUS HALF & HALF IS SO NOT OKAY TO DRINK lol. Idk I guess all I'm saying is when I started recording what I ate I really realized what I was doing (which wasn't TOO bad but not perfect) and was able to adjust accordingly. I would really suggest this app to anyone who wants long term success.

I found out I eat anywhere from 600-900 calories a day, which my brother told me is normal for someone 6 months post op.

I really need to start recording my eating on MFP. It's hard to do when I've been eating Korean food. I'm 9 weeks post op and down 41.9lbs. moving out of state next week. Guess that'll be my New Years resolution to start recording as I won't have the luxury of my moms cooking to keep me from doing so.

I love MFP. I record everything... good, bad, ugly everyday. I have it synced with endomondo so my exercise automatically records in MFP. It is by far the best app.

I had it but deleted it because it just made me feel guilty. my surgeon said not to worry about calories right now but just don't go over 1000. at 7 weeks post op not happening anyway. if we don't eat at least 800 our body goes into starvation mode and will hold on to the weight.

I use it everyday. I have too. Mainly to track my Protein. I'm only a month out but I am around 500-600 calories.

I wasn't able to count my exercise because I take classes at the gym so it's not like I can input my yoga class or spin class... I just use mfp for nutrition facts. There have been a few situations where I really can't add the food... But not often enough where I won't use it. It happened yesterday when I bought a Starbucks yogurt parfait but I don't eat the granola or the fruit and there's no way to find the nutrition facts for JUST the yogurt you know? Mfp also got me back in the habit if weighing my food which I stopped soon completely

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
