New to My Fitness Pal

Hello Everyone,
My name is Kerri and I am new to this website. It was actually suggested to me by the nutritionist who works with the lapband surgeon that I am seeing. I have not been banded yet, but we are planning for surgery in February. I have to do the six month diet thing before insurance will cover it.

After reading a lot of the posts on here regarding lapband I have to admit that I am having second thoughts! In the first week that I have been on here, without really trying (just inputting what I eat), I have lost 3 pounds. Plus, I feel like I am ready to start losing weight right now, and while doing this program, we are encouraged not to lose weight (only maybe 1- pounds) because insurance will not cover if you lose too much.

Anyway, I'm glad to be here and I am looking forward to becoming a "regular".

Welcome!! I think you might find that after using this site, if you stick to it of course, you may not need the surgery! Please feel free to add me as a friend, we can encourage each other!!
