After letting myself slide for the past month and not logging my food intake I have gained weight. I know I'm still preop and still below where I started but I never thought that the logging would be such a valuable tool.

So as of today I'm logging everything I put in my mouth. Hopefully by having this set back now will help me realize that I need to log for me and not anyone else. No one is going to do it for me I have to do yr myself.

Sorry, my rant is over.

i hate logging, but it works. I dont know why I find it so annoying, but I do

Next to the surgery itself, food logs are the single most powerful tool you can have. I've been logging for two years and have no intention of giving it up - ever.

I feel off the food log wagon last month when was sick. I just did not care about logging, and it has been so tough to get back in to it.

I'm just worried that since I'm preop that the insurance company is going to come back and say no due to the fact that I've gained this month. I sure hope not.

Logging is very important and so much easier these days with smart phones and great apps..I remember having to go thru books and write everything down lol

As far as your insurance I guess that depends on their guidelines, my program was 6 months and I was required to lose 10% which was 30lbs I only manage to do 23 but I think they go by the review from the doctor, NUT and Psych which if you get greens from them than they know you have been working the program whether the scale shows it or not....good luck!

I've been logging my food for over two months. In the beginnings of my journey I found food logging boring but because I was so blind and lazy to see what a valuable tool it is.

I have been successful and accountable since I started logging my food. I have no intention to ever giving up on it.

You can do it! Give yourself some credit.
