I'm almost 7 months out from sleeve surgery and feel great. I can eat a good deal and not much seems to upset my stomach.

I have a question for you MFP users. What exactly do you track? Right now I feel like if I eat over 800 calories I don't lose (I can eat way more than that but I don't and it's a struggle!). I also track my Protein at 70 grams I don't track my carbs or anythng else really just shoot for 800/70.

Wondering what everyone else is doing???

I have a Fitbit to track my steps and I use a Withings (now Nokia) Healthmate scale to weigh myself - both devices will input to MFP, so I track my steps, my weight and my nutrition. I count carbs to make sure I'm not eating too many.

How many carbs do you try to stay under?

I try to stay under 50 carbs a day. Some say 25 is a good number. Lately I've been loving fruit so it has been hard for me to stay under 25. My goal is always 60-100g Protein and 25-50 carbs. Definitely when I stay closer to 25 I lose faster but man fruit has been so good to me lately:-)

My Dr just moved me up to 55g of carbs today, I called because of,the foggy brain thing and he said I wasn't getting enough.

      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.
