So i don't know if I'm where I'm suppose to be but I'm definitely pleased with my loss, energy level and the way my clothes fit. I feel like I'm losing too slowly but the scale continues to move down and that makes me optimistic for the future. I will be 2 months post op on October 25th. (Hoping to be down 40 lbs by then) anyway, I do like this app for tracking of weight loss. But it doesn't offer many options. Anyone have suggestions of apps that you use to track loss and perhaps activity? I'm thinking of getting an iwatch or Fitbit but am afraid I just won't use it much.

You're doing great! post-285792-14767023075899_thumb.jpg

I have a hard time keeping my Fitbit on - it all depends if you use it and what you want to track.

Thank you! Upon multiple searches via google and many others resources I could not find anything to reassure me that I was on track and not slowwwww. This chart helped a lot. Saving for future reference and to help other doubtfuls.

I track religiously with my fitbit. I input my weight, food, and exercise (it tracks walking off course but I enter my gym time and set goals there). I think it helps keep me accountable. It does not track Protein or carbs, but this has not been important to me (1. I eat so few carbs, 2. my nut and plan don't require me to track anything but my supplemental Protein and weigh my food).

I like being about to see my weight changes over time on the app, it helps me when I feel that I am going slow with weight loss to see the overall progress.

I honestly cannot take in more than 600-700. Some days maybe a bit more. I've heard I should be getting 700-800 but I have no appetite other than meal periods and can never finish my plate. I don't track like I should at all

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
