Hey Recycled, I am glad you asked. I would be very interested in what others are doing. I am macman74 on MFP. I think I am a little behind you. I was sleeved 12/23 and currently eating soft Proteins. I can't add vegetables and fruits until the end of February.

Just started a few days ago. I used to use DietPower but they don't have an online version yet. The ability to log using my phone is great!

MyFitnessPal username is Bignosemonkeydog. Surgery is set for March15.

Right after my surgery I got a FITBIT wireless activity tracker to help me monitor the distances I walked each day. My Doc wanted me to get in 3 miles a day. The FITBIT also has a weight and fluind intake tracker. FITBIT has an I phone app that is very helpful. I felt like I was pretty obsessive about monitoring my distances, Fluid intake and weight. I don't feel like I am obsessive any more, the monitoring has become routine. Up until last week I was in the gym eveyday. Last week was very intense work week and I got a cold. I missed getting the gym five days in a row. This morning I went and it flet really good, even dropped two punds this week. I am 2 3/4 months post op and have lost 77 lbs (including 25 lbs durning the 2 week pre-op diet).

The weight loss each week is my biggest motivator. I only weigh myself once a week (Fridays). Weighing myself one day or every two days during previous diet effort proved to be counter productive if I gained any.

The FITBIT app allows you to input calories but I don't. My diet is still limited and I try to avoid carbs and sugar as much as possible.

I only input activity, fluid intake and weight. That seems to work for me. I think it is important to monitor/record your activity, diet and weight in manner that works for you. Good luck and keep us post on your progress.

You can also hook your Fitbit into MyFitnessPal via their app library. Works pretty well and bidirectionally - so the MFP data feeds back into the Fitbit dashboard. We also added an Aria to the mix which took away the need for manual weight logging on both MFP and Fitbit.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
