OK I logged onto my fitness pal via computer and went to settings and added Water under meal names. I put water there so I can use the measurement of ounces instead of cups when you add water choose water -municipal and adjust the ounces.

I have to say putting my horrible food in MFP today definitely had me embarrassed since I have viewers...it's been a horrible day for me... a work party where the cafeteria was closed and not any good choices for me & I'm about to go to a wedding. Ugh....tomorrow will be better! :/

My choices weren't very good today either.

Actually I think Tomato Soup is fine...it's not just Clear Liquids until after surgery if I remember correctly. I think you're doing great!

My paperwork says clear liquids now and full liquids after surgery, but I thought it wasn't too bad.

Does anyone else ever question if it was worth it? Today I'm feeling like it wasn't worth it. I hardly eat anything but I'm not loosing any weight since I started to add food, I'm doing really good following the diet. Today I want to eat sugar it's been a really stressful week but I want to give up today.

When I added food I stalled for a few days too. I noticed it helped that I got my Water in. I understand your feelings tho.

Oh...haha.. you're right! See how fast I forgot about that! It's only been 6wks and I've already forgotten. I have to tell you I admit I cheated a couple days and I also ended up having one light string cheese each day on the approval of Madison. When I went to the preop class/appt I told her what I'd been drinking and because my calories were so low she said I could have one string cheese to get me by as long as I didn't go over 600cals/day. It was the highlight of my day for the last 10 days of my 2wk liquids.

At my 1wk post op appt with Dr Cottam when I was inquiring about one of my bruises he even mentioned "it wasn't from the liver clamp because you didn't need one.... some people respond really well to the preop diet and your liver was very small" I was so thrilled to hear that because of how guilty I had felt for my cheats. LOL

That's good to know, funny that No one had mentioned to me anything about calories. Just my 4 Protein Shakes a day are over 600 calories once you add milk. I am getting more like 900 calories.

Okay today is a new day. I did very poorly on my food intake yesterday when I weighted in this morning a had a small loss but couldn't help to think if I ate better the loss would not have been so small. So I'm proving to myself today that I can do better! No sense beat myself up for it just realizing I can do better today and moving on!

Have a great day everyone!!

Had my 1 mo follow up this morning and I gained weight! 3lbs! From last week when I was in for my infection. I don't get it... I've done great and my Protein is where it should be and calories at 700. And this has been my most active week with exercise. So pissed! :(

      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? 🤷‍♀️
