I was banded on 1/10/13. With my doctor, the fills are included in the price for the first year. I've had 3 fills so far. At first, my appts were scheduled by the doctor, but now he tells me to listen to my body and come in when I feel that I need a fill. The rule of thumb is, if you are satisfied for four hours after…

Turkey and Black Bean Burgers with Corn Salsa http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/turkey-black-bean-burgers-with-corny-salsa-recipe/index.html

I'm on Week 1 Day 3. Nervous about next week, but trying to only focus on today.

I had my lap band surgery on 1/10/13 and I LOVE it. I have lost 30 lbs so far. Before my surgery, I couldn't do what I have done in the past 10 weeks....I know, I have tried numerous times over the years. There are good things and bad things about all of the different types of WLS. You need to do what is best for you and…

What a wonderful post! Congrats! And I'm smiling with you!

I was banded on 1/10/13. Would love to have more wls friends. Please feel free to add me.

Yes, I've tried it a couple times. As I said, I just got mine Saturday, but the sleep tracker seems to be pretty accurate. I was surprised. I'm not sure how it knows when you fall asleep and when you wake during the night, but it does :smile:

I eat tuna mixed with light mayo on top of crackers or with celery. I do the same with chicken salad. And usually have a fruit or greek yogurt. Sometimes I make a big salad for dinner, and bring the leftover salad for lunch.

I just purchased my Fitbit from Amazon and received it last week. So far, I'm loving it. It helps motivate me when I see that I haven't even come close to the recommended steps per day or burned enough calories. I'm still learning how to use all the features, but it seems to be fairly easy. You just have to make sure you…

Feel free to add me. I'm on here daily and give daily support.

Feel free to add me as well. I'm on here daily.

crash diet

I think 3 days is harsh as well. I've been on here steadily for the past month, but I haven't logged every day. It's only been until recently that I have been able to log daily. In my case, I have had gastric band surgery, and therefore, I am not able to eat the "normal" amount of calories a typical person would eat. Plus,…

They all sound so good. I'm definitely saving this for later.

Thanks! I'm going to have to try them. I get enough protein, but I'm always on the lower end, so it would be great to up it a bit.

Where do you purchase the Syntrax Matrix and Quest bars?

Congrats!

I'm 48 and been on here for about a month now and have lost 21 lbs. Add me if you want :happy:

I might have to break down and buy one of those! Wonderful idea!!

Yes, I meant 2013. Thanks for the catch! I'm having a real difficult time getting my water intake also. Today I switched over to Soft Foods and I was so excited about that. Unfortunately, this is the first time I've had nausea since the first couple of days after surgery. So I guess I need to take it slower. I'm also…

I had the surgery January 10, 2012. I will be switching from puree'd food over to soft foods in two days. Yay! As anxious as I am, I'm also very hesitant because I'm afraid that I will eat the wrong foods. I have been very strict and followed the diet to the last detail, but I'm starting to feel hungry and my cravings are…

Hello! I was banded on January 10, 2013. To date I have lost 17 lbs and I'm anxious for the "new me". It would be nice to have some friends that share the same needs and expectations that I have.
