Hi...My name is Tracy and I joined my fittness pal about 2 weeks ago. This was a last ditch effort before I have gastric bypass. I was suppose to have surgery sometime before October. My surgeon wanted me to loss 20 pounds before I had surgery. Well after 2 weeks I lost 14 pounds and I was shocked to say the least. I was going to have to have a open bypass surgery but my surgeon said if I could lose 50 or 60 pounds he would consider laporscopic. So most definitly i am going to shoot for that and put off my surgery for a while to see how it goes. I have a lot of health problems so anything I can do to lose weight will sure help. Fitness pal has helped me keep track better than anything in the past and I love it. My hubby made me feel good he said he was proud of me for what I have done so far so I am just taking one day at a time.....God Bless You All

    Sounds like you have a very suportive husband...lucky girl.
    I agree fitness pal is a great way to keep track of everything...I am amazed at how quickly my calories add up...small wonder I was having trouble loosing weight...hopefully, I will begin to see some results now.
    Good luck at your continued weight loss

    Hi Tracy,
    I'm glad that this program is working for you. i had laparascopic gastric bypass surgery three years ago. It was great for me. I lost 130 pounds in less than a year. This past year I have snuck 20 pounds back on but this program is helping me slowly slip it back off before I really get into past, bad habits. Good luck to you in the program and whatever decision you make about the surgery. Evelyn

    Evelyn that is great about how much weight you lost. I hope you lose the 20 pounds you want to get off. Thanks both of you for the encouraging words....God Bless...Tracy
