Updating my surgery stats so that my weight is lower gives me a special kind of joy. Sometimes I log in just to do that. LOL!

I confess to having logged in just to update my stats. I don't understand the people who don't record their successes that way. You only know how great they're doing from reading their posts. Maybe they just aren't prideful types.

I do! Haha, I lost a pound this morning and one of the first things I did was update my weight on MyFitnessPal and then update my ticker here. 4 pounds to go until goal!

I'm glad for those that do! Sometimes I see a post and they've been post op for months but their stats show no weight loss! C'mon people! Get with the program! lol

I am one of those who doesn't update a weight ticker. Because I don't have a thyroid, my weight can fluctuate +\- 3 pounds from day to day. So If I see the same weight 3 days in a row, I know for sure that it is my true weight. By then I've forgotten to update my fitness pal or my stats here :)

Well I know for me I can't do it from my cell phone at all....or else I would've been filled in my info. I'm 10 days post-op and people are already telling me I look like like I'm losing weight. I refuse to get on a scale right now tho. ????

@@happymama2014 It's not as intuitive as one would think. But from the main site (not the phone app), up in the top right hand corner by your name is a little gear. Click on the gear. Then click on my surgery. Scroll down to where it says your current weight and put it in and save it, and it will update your stats.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
