I could not find something I liked so I use a small notebook. It is divided into 3 sections, one I use to track wieght, exercise, and measurments. Another I use for my daily food log and the third is my journal section. It is helpful for me and a lot easier to have everything in one place. Also, its portable so i can track things better than if i was using an online version.

good luck

I just use an Excel spreadsheet. I don't keep track of liquids because I get enough in, but I have been tracking what I eat, the caloric value, my exercise for the day, and my weight. It's not fancy, just enough for me to show the progress I'm making and what has been working. If you have a smart phone, there is probably an app somewhere for it. Some people use websites like Fitday, etc., but I don't know if you can customize what you want to track. Pen and paper works too.

I had my surgery at True results and they give you a little journal to keep track. Ask your doctor's office-they might provide onw too:-)

do you have a LAP-Band or Realize band? I have realize and they have a website for us that we had to put the impant number in to use all the functions. One of them is a LOG...i log my multi vitamine, Fluid, foods, exercise, weight, measurements...etc. when I go to the docs or dietian i print it out or I can give them permission to view on the web (but I dont). its great. I wonder if Lap-band has something like it as well???

I use a notebook that I bought at the .99 cent store! Yuk Yuk:rolleyes:!

I log everything I eat what time I finish eating ( so I train the brain On the 30 min. rule) exercise, Vitamins, daily weight, pounds to goal, days to fill....everything! My ticker keeps track of my weight loss, and my journaling is all done on this lovely web site!

All for now

Peace out

Kelly:wink:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
