I've been logging food intake and exercise for at least 10 years - first on sparkpeople, now on myfitnesspal. I never miss a day.

There's a book called "WLS for Dummies" by Dr. Marina Kurian, Barbara Thompson, and Brian Davidson. It was an intro to the different kinds of wls, the good and bad of each type, what to look for in hospitals/surgeons, insurance, pre/during/post surgery, etc.
You can find it on line in your favorite search (Amazon/ebay/etc) or check a local book store.
Good Luck in your quest!

I have the WW app on my phone and log my meals constantly. I also have an apple watch that tracks movement, exercise minutes (30 minutes a day). and hours awake.
I can't speak for others but for me, it works. It helps keep me accountable.

I log my food in MyFitnessPal and exercise in Samsung Health and have thousands of days logged. I haven't missed a day in years. Its a habit and I can't imagine not doing it.

I would look up Dr. Ara Keshishian in Pasadena. I don't know if he has any specific BMI restrictions, but he specializes in the duodenal switch (DS) which is often the best procedure for high BMI patients, and people come from all over the country to see him for the DS and other complex revisions (so he isn't afraid of complicated cases.) One of the best in the business, and certainly worth a call.

It seems like people that track their food are more successful. There are a number of people on here that have hundreds or thousands of days of tracking. Many use My Fitness Pal, I think one or two still track in a journal, I use the baritastic app. I don't track exercise per se I just make sure to do it 5-7 days a week!

I just began my research on having weight loss surgery, my question is Should I keep a food and exercise journal after weight loss surgery
I agree completely that drinking juice is not a good choice for anyone trying to lose weight.
But in case you still want to get a juicer (e.g., maybe you're going to use the juice in cooking, or to prepare juice for others), I suggest you check how easy the machine will be to clean, and whether you want it to automatically remove the pulp/fibre.
