Where is everyone from?
Just a fun post to see what part of Michigan everyone in this group is from. I'm from Ecorse, which is just south of Detroit (so I guess you could say I'm a downriver rat). So, where are you from? :)

Psyllium Husk
I'm 4 years post op and since giving birth to my son a year ago, I've been struggling with constantly feeling hungry. I would even feel hungry a short time after eating. Not too long ago I stumbled on some information about Psyllium Husk while I was researching adding Fiber to my diet. And apparently Psyllium Husk is not…

Subway Sandwich Idea
I saw this idea elsewhere and thought I could share it here! At subway instead of getting bread for your sandwich, ask for their egg or egg white patty. It folds up nicely (like a pita) and you can put all of your meat/toppings in it. This morning I stopped in Subway and ordered an egg white patty with 4 slices of turkey…

Add Me :)
Hi there! My name is Kari and I'm 3.5 years post-op VSG. I've maintained a weight loss of 150-155 lbs (depending on the day) and would love to add more people to MFP to give and get support! MFP has been a huge staple in helping me maintain and I've noticed many of my friends on here haven't been as active or have been…

2 yrs 5 months post-op and pregnant
Anyone else become pregnant after VSG? My husband and I spent years (prior to VSG) doing fertility treatments with no luck. Now I am 2 years and 5 months post op and just found out I'm pregnant (wasn't planned). I'm nervous and don't know what to expect. So I'm hoping to hear from others who have had a baby post-VSG who…

Hello! 2 yrs post-op
Hi there! I'm not new to the group, although I don't think I've ever posted, mostly lurked. I had my surgery May 28th, 2013. So in one month, I will be two years post-op! I still can't believe how fast the time has flown by! My starting weight was 311 lbs and I currently maintain between 165-167 lbs. This has been quite…

Newbie - still pre-op
Hi there! I'm new here to the group and just wanted to introduce myself. My name's Kari and I'm 30 years young. I'm currently going through the pre-op process to get sleeved! I started this journey in January 2013 and as of right now, I'm looking to have surgery some time in May. (So close, yet so far!) My insurance is…

Heart Rate Monitors?
At the gym I see people who wear heart rate monitors. I would like to purchase one, however I'm not sure which ones would be worth it. (There's SO many!) So my question is: Are there any HRMs that you would recommend? I appreciate any feedback!

What to believe... elliptical machine or MFP?
When I work out on the elliptical at the gym, the machine registers that I burn on average of 350 calories. However when I enter my exercise on MFP it says that I've burned 555 calories for that exercise. That's a pretty significant difference and I'm honestly not sure which one is correct or which one I should use. So my…

Could use some friends :)
Hi there, my name is Kari and I'm 29 yrs old and from Michigan. I joined MFP a while back, but I think at the time I just wasn't fully committed to making a change. In January I joined Weight Watchers and in just over three months I've managed to lose 33 lbs. I have since dropped Weight Watchers, mostly because I didn't…

Newbie
Hi there - I'm Kari, 28 years old from Michigan and I'm new here to MyFitnessPal. I was referred here by a friend. I've struggled with my weight since childhood and it still continues to this day. I've been looking for a site where I could give, as well as receive support and I think I may have found it here. Please feel…
