Water, protein, carbs, sugar, fat, calories...?

That's it!!

600-800 Cal

60-70gms Protein

64 plus Water

40gms Carbs

30gms Fat

I just stay away from sugar as best I can.

I am a terrible example... I don't really track proteins, water etc...

I write down everything I eat everyday and the amount of calories that gives me... I don't track water, nor any other fluid I drink (tea, soft drinks, camomile...)...

I track it all on myfitnesspal.com. It really works for me and it takes out the guess work!!

Hi Finally - I've always tracked Protein and calories. My surgeon and dietitian never required watching carbs unless someone isn't losing weight. That was never a problem for me. Also, they want you to make sure we are getting enough Water. That is the one thing I've had trouble with since day 1.....ugh. I just count, one glass, two glass etc. I learned at the last support group a couple of days ago that everything counts as 'liquids' - just so there is no caff. in it. So with that said, I am doing "ok". Three - four 8 oz glasses of water per day, 2 cups of skim milk. Maybe a cup of decaf. All in all.....I'm calling it 'good'.

I'm 14.5 lbs under goal and could continue to lose weight....so a sweet now and then is no problem. Every Friday my husband and I go to Star Bucks for coffee and we split a piece of pumpkin bread. It helps me with the 1200 calories I need every day.

yep, Cals, Protein, Fat, Carbs. I don't track water, I just do as much as I can in between "meals" right now I'm focusing on high protein (70g) and lower carbs so it helps me to track it. I use Loseit on my iPhone to track it.

I'm a bad example - I haven't tracked anything outside of the first 3-4 weeks post-op. Hasn't really hindered my weight loss, so I'm ok with it.

I'm obsessive, I weigh every day and track calories and Protein. Which is what they wanted us to do. I enjoy it though, it's like a hobby! Crazy, I know!!
