Wow. I’m an educated woman, and in my way of thinking, if I’m cooking my own food at home, at least I know what is going into it and how it is cooked. And so from what I’m gathering here, if I open a can of black beans to use in a recipe, the nutritional information in the side of the can is not to be trusted?? That just…

Wow, didn’t realize I’d cause such a commotion. I kind of resent being told I’m not keeping an accurate food log, because I am. I do all the cooking in my house and I log the recipes in this app so my nutrition is accurate. And I have not eaten fast food, ice cream, chips, dip, or nachos since my lapband came out. Thank…

My bariatric doctor wanted to convert me to a sleeve or bypass but my insurance refuses to cover it. That’s when he suggested a medical weight loss program. I’m on topiramate and phentermine. I was put on the topiramate months ago for migraines and never saw any weight loss. And I have no sleep apnea, thank God. I’m just…

Is three pounds a week really too much? I know much more probably wouldn’t be good.

Thank you everyone. For some time before the removal of my lap band, all I was able to eat was ice cream and chips and dip. This went on for over two years because they were the only things that I could get to stay down. Hence the weight gain. I have not touched them since my surgery! Ick! While I had my lap band I craved…

Thank you for mentioning that you have to build up the exercise. I’m post-op two months, but spent nearly a month in bed with complications. Top that with my weight and I am seriously out of shape. I’m doing the best I can though.

I’m only weighing myself once a week on Sunday morning because I just can’t do it every day. I’d go nuts! I really try to eat more but I just am not hungry. The day will pass and l look at the clock and I’ll be like oh, I’m supposed to eat. I wish I could eat cereal cuz I could probably get some down more often. I like…

My doctor didn’t really give me a set calorie goal, but I set mine at 1320. I’m lucky if I eat half that per day. I’m just not hungry. I’d like to lose 100 pounds ultimately. I’m reading the labels on everything I eat and cook. When I cook something I create the recipe in this app and it tells me how many calories etc it…

To show this louse I live with what a swan he’s been overlooking all this time with his neglect. I want that perfect heart shaped *kitten* of mine to be the last thing he sees as I walk out that door for the last time.

Hi all! I’m just getting started again after a large weight gain this past year. I was eating unhealthy food only because it was the only thing I could get thru the Lap-Band I had placed eight years ago. I just got it removed in November and am doing a medical weight loss program as my insurance will not cover a conversion…
