and weigh ALL food. nothing goes in me that is not weighed aside from liquids like Water and gator aide.

I weigh my Gatorade too. Not that I drink it often, since I don't want to drink my calories. But when I do long runs for my marathon training, I have to drink G2 to replenish my electrolytes and I do weigh it so I can accurately track it.

This seems redundant for me. I track Fluid ounces for liquids.

I fight still to get enough liquids in.... I may have to do that someday... but getting enough is still my battle.... as I am new still to the surgery. I drink as much as I can.... and the sloshy feeling sometimes is bleh.... I as of yet don't track because I know its not quite as much as I need to get in.... Still a work in progress for me to get the liquids in.... and enough of them.... I make my gator aide... I posted the recipe here somewhere or another....

Well yeah, but unless you are pouring them into a marked container or filling a specific size container, how do you figure out ounces other than weighing? I buy the big bottles of G2 and fill my hydration belt bottles with G2 and ice. So weighing the bottles as I fill them is the only way to track the calories.

Liquid measurements are different than weight measurements. A bottle of Water might be 16oz by volume but that doesn't mean it weighs 16ozs.

8 Fluid ounces of Water weighs pretty much exactly 8 ounces. Since Gatorade and G2 are both like 99% water, I'm comfortable just weighing them in ounces for the purposes of calorie tracking.

Yes, it does. Water weighs 1 oz wt. per oz of volume.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
