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...)...

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.

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

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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
