I've been on myfitnesspal since my pre-op diet' date=' and it is great! My doctor isn't that concerned with calories, but he does want to make sure I'm getting in enough Protein every day, and I like how it tracks all of that for you, plus your weight. It's so great too for tracking what you eat, with the bar code reader and all. I just love it! If anyone gets on it, add me as a friend! I'm MammaJamma42 on there too. We can help support each other there and here! :)[/quote'] MFP is the best 100+ days and counting!

I'm a month after y'all. I love how we all KNOW our surgery dates. I call it my REBIRTH date! I'm finally in the GREEN. Shocking to see how such a little amount of food satisfies me. Shocking to see that I do 65 mins of cardio, six times a week. Shocking that I'm now in regular sized clothes.

I don't know why it's that shocking...... This is what a lap band does for a person that works with it to lose weight !!!!!

I've lost 60#. haven't had a fill since dec. don't know if this is the "green" zone or not. I just know that I feel great, continue to lose (slowly), and I can live with this.

My surgery was on 7/18/13. I think I have about 3 cc's in my band right now, and I'm down 72.5 pounds. I go in for my monthly visit today, but I doubt if I'll get a fill. I think I'm probably in the green zone. I can't eat certain things or eat very fast or I get stuck. I know people have lost much faster than I am, but I can definitely live with this rate. People are finally starting to notice! :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
