I have a question for you sleevers out there. How do you keep track of your Fluid intake? I was sleeved May 23rd and since then I keep a notepad and pen with me at all times. I tally every ounce of fluid that I have. Anyone else do this? Anyone have any other ways that they keep track?

Two things, I have a Water bottle that has the amount of liquid it holds (32oz), I know that I have to drink 3 of those a day....

I also use myfitnesspal to log food and drink. Once you get in the habit, it get super easy...there's an app for that. :)

On that same topic...do you include your Protein shakes in your Fluid intake?

My stalker-nutritionist says no, that Protein drinks should be counted only as Protein, so to keep her off my case I don't count that as Fluid. If I use a protein shot and mix it with Powerade, then I count it both.

I have a bottle that has ozs on it. I feel it up and drink it through out the day. It only goes up to 25 ozs so I have to refill it . I also keep of with what I have eaten that day and take into account about how much fluids that would be to.

Yes I include my Protein drinks. I actually write down everything I put into my mouth.

I tally by 4 oz drinks... And I count Protein Shakes (cause that's what my NUT said). Funny how different they all are...

I use a calorie counter Bracelet. It has round beads on it and a charm that I move past each bead for every 4 ounces I drink. It has a heart bead in the middle and that is my starter bead. It really helps me :-)

I use Myfitnesspal.com and it's great. I have the app on my phone, too, so it's always with me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
