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! :)

      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.
