:happy: I joined myfitnesspal.com back in June.
I am preparing for gastric bypass surgery and my
date has been set for September 11. I am so
excited, so far I have lost 28 pounds just from using
myfitnesspal.com to help me track my calories and
what I'm eating. Thank you myfitnesspal.com for
such a wonderful tool. It is helping become a
whole new person.

    It does help SOO much to track calories and exercise. I recently realized I only ate 500 calores one day - and that's not good either - but at least the lack of food is not killing me! lol

    I know I have been under my calorie count several times. But I have to stay at 1200. On Tues. I start my two week protein shakes and 64 oz. of liquids so I will be ready for my bariatric surgery. Keep up the good work.

    Though I never liked tracking, this site makes it soooooo much easier than say weight watchers. It's really brilliant the way this thing works..... it makes things fun!
    And lord knows, I need to track because I can rationalize bites, licks and tastes til the cows come home- I guess that pun was intended!! Its really good to be accountable through the tracking process it what I'm saying, because i will otherwise
    not be accountable.
    And the other thing I'm learning- if its in my house, I will eat it. So, my process starts at the store.
    It is wonderful to have a community to come back to who are all working this thing.

    WELCOME and good luck with your surgery!!

    Feel free to add me if you wish.
