I didn't ask her about carbs and fat but we should find out right? She's in the office on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays and she usually gets back to you as soon as possible after you email her. I also told her I was tracking using my fitness pal and I added her as a friend and she was able to go in and see what I was eating instead of me having to tell her all over again which was nice. It made getting help easier for both of us.

OK I logged onto my fitness pal via computer and went to settings and added it under meal names. I also put Water there so I can use the measurement of ounces instead of cups

You know that is great that you want to be my friends on my fitness pal because I was looking for some accountability and just knowing that you guys are seeing what I enter and how I track my food makes me accountable thank you.

Me too! I know I don't do this thing the 'perfect' way (carbs are my everything!)... but it's nice to see other's meals to give me some ideas. I always had my meals locked down but that was when I was embarrassed of my 2000+cals/day, lol... now I have some better accountability it's not hard to share. :)

I'm going to get the Vitamins added to mine too. It's not hard for me to remember my Vitamins because they're part of my nightly pill routine but I like having it visible for the NUT when/if she can see it on MFP.

For Water, I actually don't typically put my Water in MFP just because I use a different app that reminds me when to drink and is kind of fun. I really like it. You can set your goal by oz and you can set how many/when/oz reminders to keep you on goal for drinking during the day. It's called Hydro Coach.

I didn't have to add my Vitamins, I just searched for them like I would food and there they were.

Yeah my Vitamins came up just like food too But being a bit ocd I had to have my own little space for them.

hydro coach I couldn't find it in the App Store. Do you use Apple?

Do either of you watch YouTube videos of people that have had vsg surgery? I have found them so helpful.

I did watch a couple YouTube videos...nothing that stood out though.

I'm an Samsung/Android gal... so I bet HydroCoach isn't on Apple. Darnit. :(
Totally get ya on the OCD thing with the vitamins... I wouldn't add them if I couldn't put them in their own category either. LOL

How do u guys add oz to my fitness pal I looked last night and couldn't figure it out. I'm having a hard time tracking my stuff. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting enough calories but I still can't eat more then like 2 oz at a time.

Cole225 - I think tacha explained it above. You have to not do it in the Water section but actually add water as a food.< /p>

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! :/

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
