Journaling is very important. I got away from journaling and gained

back 10 pounds. Pre op...Dr Fisher did check it at each consult visit

with him. Plus if you see the nutritionalist, she will check it. It is

such an important tool. It helps you see any patterns, it makes you

conscious of everything you eat...each bite adds up. In the beginning

it wont be any where near perfect, but by the time you get closer to

goal you will notice a pattern of more mindful eating. If you hit a

plateau or a slowing in weight loss, the journal could provide the

answer. If the one Kaiser gave you doesnt work for you, get a spiral

notebook and make one that does. The important thing is to track what

you are eating, how much you are drinking and your exercise. Its hard

at first but after a while it becomes habit. It makes you take a good

honest look at what you are eating. Some people even put down their

emotions or situation when they eat to see if there are patterns or

triggers. You dont have to start that at first...just start getting

your food and water intake down, then add in the exercise, then the

emotions or situation. You will really come to value your food log. I

am back to journaling and its helping get me back on track. Im less

likely to eat something if I have to write it down.

Good Luck to you

I use a manual one. I tried fit day but am confused at how to track

some foods like a chicken tostada.

Thanks guys...I guess there's no way around it so at lunch I went and

bought a notebook.

PS Anyone have PCOS and had to get off of birth control pills or had

to get on early menopause medication to prevent cysts from occuring

in the 2 months you're supposed to stop estrogen? Just curious
