I will be tracking my calories on my fitness pal once I get banded.

70 lbs is an awesome loss!

I have read the more you lose - the less "tight" your band is hence the reason for additional fills after you have experienced restriction for a while.

And yes, I am on MyFitnessPal daily. I have went from 233 pounds to 173 pounds ON MY OWN. I was just recently banded and looking forward to that "Green Zone". MyFitnessPal only shows an 11 pound loss because I started it one month before my surgery. There are many banded people on there - and I have many of them "as friends". I couldn't do it without them :) If you want to sign up....my user name is MsLadyLisa. Look for me and I would be happy to encourage you!

Yes you may need a fill. I don't track calories, my nutritionist taught me about portion sizes and it works for me, others need to count calories and that's fine also. Do what suits you. Reason I hate calorie counting is because it makes me feel like I'm on a diet which I wanted to break away from if that makes sense.

Talk to your doctor that gives you fills and explain how you're travelling along, he/she will guide you if you need a fill.

Yes, Tracking helps you stay accountable for your daily intake and food choices. I also use my fitness pal (App) that helps me stay focused. Good Luck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
