I use Unjury too. It is a very fine powder that dissolves completely, not gritty at all, and is unflavored so that your shake can taste like whatever fruit or veg you want to use. I use it to cook with too, mix it in with egg muffins or whatever you like.

Hi, Terri! You will find lots of helpful info here, as well as friendly people to encourage you and help you out. Welcome!

Have to agree with the other posters, support group meetings and tracking food intake (and exercise!) is what keeps me on track. I found it helps me to be honest if I weigh food portions weekly, instead of eyeballing it. My portions keep growing is I don't check them once in a while!

Hi, Kalilioness! Congrats to you on your sleeve! I am 3 months post op,also sleeved. At first I used a small notebook to track proteins and liquids, and to write notes to myself or questions that came up. As I transitioned back to food, I started using this app. Very easy to use! At first, I just used a blender bottle that…

Understand your frustration, but there is a bright side to meeting with the nutritionist. I personally know two people who, with self pay surgeries, shopped for a doctor who required very little in the way of preparation. Now, post surgery, they have no idea what to do or how to take care of themselves nutrition - wise. I…
