Hey y'all! I'm only 7 days post-op, but I'm making myself a food journal to have bound so that I can carry it with me everywhere. I also have MFP, but I love to write things down and see patterns! I'm an OCD list maker!!!!

In my food log, which nutritional facts are the most important to track? Right now, I have listed: CALORES, CARBS, Proteins, FAT, & SUGARS. Are any of those not necessary or somewhat unimportant?

When I come to a stall, I want to be able to look back and see where the intake numbers have changed to help me get out of the stall. I just don't want to waste time counting sugars if its really not a necessity, you know?

Just curious' date=' has any1 gottn a copy yet or chatted w the op since July 7? I pm her but no reply. Just wondering bc it sounded like she was on to somethn pretty awesome! Thx[/quote']

I was wondering the same

Hey y'all!! Sorry I've been out of pocket!!!

I have finally put my book together and it's AMAZING! I need to edit it so it can be generic, because it's completely tailored to me! I want to put it in PDF format that will be easy to print.

I'm a teacher getting ready for school, but I promise I'll get it done soon! Those of you who have posted in this thread, I'm going to EMAIL you a copy. But I've learned that there are dozens of other people from my support group who want it and my NUT wants to sell them! So I'm going to sell them!! But y'all get it for free!

Oh wow, that looks amazing!! Tysm in advance nd congrats on selling them, gr8j. U deserve it bc from what I can c, uve worked hard on it. I LOVE IT!! Dee Dee

wow! id definitely buy one as well! great job!!!!!

Please count me in for one. The apps on my phone are just not working for me. I think see it on paper might. I would be glad to purchase it.

Me 2... I have to see and touch on paper

I'm going to get it bound sometime next week and will update with pictures! I'm including enough logs for 6 months, until these food choices are just 2nd nature to me.

I have it set up for 7 days of food logs (including exercise and Fluid intake), then a weekly summary page with reflections, patterns, emotional aspects, scale movement, revelations, and goals for the following week. Then, at the end of the month, there is a Monthly Measurement page to review inches lost over the month, as well as weight loss, and BMI. That sequence goes on for 6 months. In the front of the book are some helpful guidelines... A "cheat sheet" per say, of the guidelines given by my doctor and NUT. I also have a few helpful food portion charts, hunger scale, my depressing before pictures, and some inspirational quotes/pictures, etc.

If anyone is interested after you see the final product, I don't mind uploading the PDF document so you can make your own. No sense in recreating the wheel, right?

Yes ma'am I will be wanting tomake one for myself.... thank you ever so much!

I would pay for this as well.... needed asap since I am three months out.... but I hate my phone APP.... I need this!

I will absolutely buy that! That's incredible!

Great idea and so kind of u to share with others...

Happy to pay something for PDF version.

This has turned out so awesome. As everyone else has said I would love a copy of that. If I have to pay for it that's fine. It's awesome and I also like to see it all written down in front of me.

I use MFP and I would keep the sugar count. Yes it's included in the carb count but their are simple & complex carbs. You definitely want to know if you are consuming to much sugar. I too check the numbers when I've been at a stall for too long. It helps a lot.

I love your creation. I would buy one too. Awesome work

That is an awesome book hope I can get info to buy it
