  1. Hi,
    For anyone who doesn't know, there is a free website: sparkpeople.com
    You can record your daily food eaten, it calculates calories, progein, etc.
    You can keep track of water intake, excercise, etc.
    Great site.
    You can customize it: adding foods not listed and have favorites, etc.
    i.e. I have added a not listed favorite called Barb's P rotein shake.
    I add that then anything I eat, cottage cheese, mile, pudding, etc.
    It calculates how many calories and how much protein I have had and gives me a running total throughout the day.
    That way I know if I need more protein and how many calories I am consuming.

  2. I'm New

    Hi,
    I'm new. I was banded Dec. 15 along with a sleeve plication.
    I found this site on Google. I wanted to know why I stopped loosing as soon as I started mushy food.
     
    I guess I'm not the only one.
    I was instructed to start Phase III at my one week post op visit. Then I froze on the scale.
    I had lost a total of 18 Lgs. 253-235 between the pre surgery liquids and the 1 week post visti.
    I have been the same now for 10 days.
    At least I know now from this site I'm not the only one experiencing this.
    Thanks for the feed back.
     
    I'm 66 years old and have had osteoarthritis for many years and have been on anti inflammatory drugs for years.
    I have been off these meds for about a month now and my stiffness and knee pain is my main problem. I am having more discomfort from this than my surgery.
    Has anyone else had to deal with this problem?
    I have been told (by the Nutritionist) some anti inflammatory meds come in liquid form?
    I would appreciate any input on this problem.
    Barb
