Hi Tdia and Abbie!! Are you both in Des Moines? I'm in Des Moines. Had surgery September 29th. I haven't had any complications. I'm dealing with the mental stuff mostly. Figuring out how to eat again, how to cook healthy, shop healthy, etc. It's getting easier though. My team at unity point is top notch. I had Dr Lamasters. I've lost 23lbs so far....six weeks out. Slow loss so far. Hoping to join the YMCA soon. If either of you have questions, let us know. We're in this together! :-)

They dont give you one but you can use anything u want. I am partial to myfitnesspal because it has everything you need for free. U can even get macros for a recipe. It has a big database of foods including restaurants. Its just impotant to keep track.

Lucky do they give you a journal to keep track of your intake or do they recommend one? I wonder how the BariatricPal is?

Nana, you can get one from your dietician. I have a hard time remembering to journal. I've done some on myfitnesspal on my phone and I bought one too. Try to figure out what works best for you and start the habit now. I don't even write in the calories, Protein, etc. I'm just doing the food and amount I ate. And keeping track of Water too.

Luckgrl, I am in Des Moines. I had Cahalan. I too use MyFitnessPal to keep track of my Water and food. I also bought a Fitbit. The Fitbit and MyFitnessPal talk to each other which is nice.

tdia13, I have a fitbit too but usually forget to put it on. I need to get back into the habit of wearing it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
