I am using fat secrets now, they have the best ipad app lol I have been eating about 1800 cal/day if I dont "try" and about 1500 if I really try. I'm not a big meat eater but I do the Protein shakes in the morning with a greek yogurt mixed in giving my one shake 46 grams of protein. I think even on the days where I eat more calories they are still "good" calories more than bad ones like milk, yogurt, cheese, whole grains... but still in the last week I havent lost I know I need a fill and I have an appt scheduled for Oct but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford to go... Thanks for all of your input though, it put things in perspective...

I'm trying to stay under 1500 calories (my band is not currently filled) but I would love to be in this range. I believe this is about where I was when I was adjusted. I'm using "Lose it!" to track but not everything I make at home is in there so I don't know how many calories were in those meals...

Just curious how many calories everyone thinks they eat in a day so I can compare to what I'm eating... thanks!

I had a baby while banded 2 years ago and I've struggled ever since I have gained 45 lbs since having her and tried being filled twice but both times I had severe reflux and had to have it taken out. I believe that the labor of having her naturally shifted my band and I'm going in again next month to talk to my Dr about it...

My band was unfilled over a year ago due to sever reflux (I would actually wake up puking on my pillow) and I'm going to be refilled Oct 21st and I'm TERRIFIED. I had my surgery in 2005, lost 100 lbs and I've gained back 68 lbs now. I'm scared to get the fill and have it result the same way but I'm also scared to NOT get the fill and keep gaining I know it's my fault, I should still be eating as if I have the band full but the hunger is soooo overwhelming. Glad to hear I'm not the only one and I would love to hear how your fills go...

Hello! I had my surgery in Aug 2005 and these boards where my support group that got me down 100 lbs!! BUT since all that weight loss I've had some complications and had to have the fluid removed and now I'm back up 65 lbs I'm looking for support as I go back to get my band re-filled that I might be able to lose the weight once again...
