Jen, what's your username? Peek, MFP is my fitness pal! It keeps track of your calories =)

I added you!

Shmeyers, what's your MFP?

El, I'm sorry that you're having a rough time! Would you mind sharing what you ate today? What food stage are you in?

@@downsizingdebs Thanks for the info! I"m going to try to sign up tonight! I actually also have BCBS!

Wow, really?! That's so cool! How long did it take to hear back?

I love dr white! He's the greatest! Do you attend his support groups?

Which surgeon did you go with? I had my sleeve done last month by Dr White at Promedica.

You def should!

Just wanted to share these... It's been one month since my surgery today! I'm down 26.0 as of this morning =)

I feel the same way! Today is one month down... 26 pounds even as of this morning. It's so surreal! It would have taken me months to lose that much before. Congrats on your weight loss and keep up the great work!

Me too!

Yes!!!! That's exactly what I do. And I also forget to eat, which is so strange for me.

I'm having this same feeling, but am 4 weeks out.

Mine is steffihowell88 (I think haha).

I love both my FitBit Flex and my FitBit Aria scale!!! The scale is pricey, but totally worth it! You guys should add me on FitBit: steffi.howell88@gmail.com

Woot woot, Apple Watch!!! I'm in love with the Apple health app, too! I love the emergency section haha.

I have a protein goal as well to stick to. I'm never hungry, and have to remind myself to eat. I might give it a whirl without upping the calories =)

Attached is my steps for a month period. You can do up to a year (possibly more on a computer). There are a ton of graphs like this: weight, BMI, calories and other food information, exercise, sleep and more I'm sure!

Great!!!! Are you considering eating a few more calories? I'm in an internal debate with myself about it. I want to start swimming, but I feel kind of weak as it is. I'm supposed to be consuming between 400-600 calories currently.

I love my FitBit! I know lovely would way the same if she wasn't enjoying herself on a cruise. I have the flex; it costs about $100. They have smaller ones which are less expensive and more intricate ones which are more expensive. It has the fitness tracker and a meal/calorie tracker. It syncs nicely with MFP. FitBit has much nicer graphs and stuff though!

Have any of you started exercising yet (more then walking)?

Peek, congrats on your 20 pounds! What an accomplishment! Chellede, I sent you an invite for MFP!

I don't think your friend was meaning to be hurtful to you (I also don't know the rest of the conversation). I wrote a note to my baby the night before I had my sleeve done, per the suggestion of a friend who had bypass about two months prior. I was already flipped out about leaving him without a mother, and it was a good exercise for me. My friend did try to calm me down (I hope yours did too!) and said that you have more of a chance getting into a car accident then dying during the surgery. While it did put it in perspective for me, the note helped too. You are a great mother for doing something to help yourself while your children are so young, so you can enjoy a better quality of life with them as they grow older.

Totally!!! =)
