I'm in Arkansas. Had the sleeve on 7/6/16. Haven't lost anything in months. I'm very disappointed in myself. I don't keep track of anything I eat. I only keep track of my Water intake. I need to be exercising. Do you all really log everything daily? I feel like I have stretched out my stomach. Idk. Just disgusted with myself.

I do keep track of what I eat, exercise every day and drink 96 oz of Water. Lots of Protein, no bread, no potato, no Cereal, no sugar lots of veggies, yogurt is the only dairy except a little cheese once in awhile. It's worth it all to me. This for me was a start but I have to stay focused on my new lifestyle. Never was overweight until around 45 years of age. Now I have more energy, happier, can look good in my clothes again. Hang in there, do this for YOU. It gets easier I promise.

Do you use a journal to log it in or an app? What app works best for you if so? Thank you for your words. I have to get focused again.

Use the MyFitnessPal app. It is a free download and you can track your exercise and food daily.

I do journal what I eat. Sometimes if I'm real active that day ( working in yard) I forget to eat lunch so I might have a bite of cheese. Days like that I forget to put in my journal the cheese. I use Baritastic app. I like it

Had my sleeve done Dec 5th @ National Perk Medical Center in Hot Springs by Dr. JJ Tucker. So far all is good and Im down 7 lbs in five days. The road is long with many a winding turn but each of us have a goal and need to set our minds on that road to success.
Good Luck all!!!

      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! 😞
