MB Bariatric Clinic

I have to meet the criteria for BMI. I just would like to know what I should be doing ie food journal etc and anything else that would be helpful. I have 30+ Ibs to go. I've lost 100ibs on my own, took 4 yrs. thank you

There is a great tool on MY FITNESS PAL WEBSITE. Keep your food journal on that website and take it with you when you go to see the surgeons and dietitians...they really like seeing people using this app and encourage you to use it before and after surgery. They also see you are committed and serious when they see it documented. I found it a great tool to keep you on track and stopped cheats. You have done fabulous on your own and you should be very proud of yourself. We all know how difficult it is to loose and even more difficult to keep it up and off over a long period of time. Good luck..it won't be much longer before you meet the criteria. Barb C.

Thank you Barb. I signed up yesterday. So far I like it. Linda

Also get a pedometer and keep a record of your physical activity, sleep, moods, etc.

I have mobility issues and use a wheelchair. I found a video on YouTube for disabled ppl, it's about 30 minutes long. It seemed to go by fast today lol! It's fun.

Can I record sleep, moods on fitness pal? I prefer to keep it all in one place.

You can add notations on the same page where you record your foods.  In the text box besides the glasses of water consumed.
