Double check what your program states but mine counted all fluids towards your hydration goal , water was superior of course because its essential and your body will not have to work to extract it from other things if its readily available, so that's a reason to make sure that most of what you are drinking is water but you can throw some broth, tea, etc in the mix too.

thanks!!!!

People who stick as close to their plans as possible will lose weight. Calorie count can be deceptive without background information like what type of foods are being consumed (but that's a whole different debate for a different time) Are you trying to drink pure water only? All fluids consumed count towards your hydration goal. This includes pure water, milk , broth, protein shakes, teas,coffee, crystal light ,vitamin water zero, powerade zero, gatorade and even sugar free popsicles...

Only buy a few at a time (this also gives you an excuse to walk in Walmart or wherever post op) your taste and tolerances may change then you're stuck with stuff. I still have 12 bottles of premier clear protein from 9 months ago I can't tolerate...

I liked the rich chocolate or royal or dutch chocolate one. Its pretty good

Officially overweight

You may become more of a foodie with a refined palate and selective taste, finding clever to foods you once ate because every bite counts more. And that's not a bad thing. Most diabetics work closely with their NUT, Surgery and PCP to make sure everything is handled properly so there is no guess work. There are tons of posts about it give the site a search. CONGRATS Safe Journey!

You can try to stop weighing yourself for a while. You don't *have* to especially if its stressful. You *have* to measure fluids, foods, take vitamins, etc. (Weighing is optional and not always an accurate representation of the changes occurring)

Exactly!

Ok so now I measured 3/4 cup of yogurt out and could not eat it all. But THIS time I did not even try. Restriction is back at full capacity y'all. No sliders...

Let me preface this by saying I'm 9 months post op and I know when to stop eating. I don't have a "tell" so I just had to learn by measurements. I started experimenting with intermittent fasting about a week ago, from 8 or 9pm to morning just water if needed. Morning to 1pm tea, or coffee with a little protein shake in it. Then food and fluids in between. Then back to the fasting. Apparently this has restarted my weight loss (stalled for 1month) and I just found out it reset my full point and which foods "slide". 1 cup of Greek yogurt (22 g protein) was a prior slider and now I'm in pain 3/4 the way through. I can't believe it. Yogurt prompts restriction again... FML. I need to lay down. On the floor.

9 months out now 700-900 off days 1200 cals on gym days only 80 something lbs down (getting close to goal, my body is trying to hold out so I'm switching things up!)

Crazy!!! That's like two bites

I agree especially if those snacks are more like meals ...

What is that Eggs dairy fish

How small can / will you make my sleeve? I would have gone for a smaller version (though I hear his sleeves are tight)

Squash , artichoke , etc

If it ain't broke... Lol

Lol it literally looks like you didn't eat ! Your restriction is crazy!

Crazy right!?!?!?
