Are you on my fitness pal? How do you like it?

It's a bit of a slower forum here, and although some of the other forums are busier I still hope people on here keep in touch because we've all had or are going to have the same procedure. So i m just dropping a line to see how everyone's doing. Any complications? Some success stories?

Just wondering how it went girls?

No my husband is going with me thank god. I'd be way too nervous goin by myself, I don't travel much... Too busy with little kids;)

So those of you with an empty band, would that be compared to those of us that have ( am getting) the plication? I guess you wouldn't really know if you have both lol. I'm just wondering if the feeling Of restriction (feeling full quicker) continues in after months years etc with the plication?

That's exactly what I plan to do. Many have seen me diet, lose, then gain for years. So this time I will be successful, why would they think any different?

So pb is less calories? You don't keep it In the powdered form do you?

What is PB2?

Continued... The hospital for two months) says what if something and happens to you. She will be so hurt to find out that way. And I say, if that happens she Wil find out and then I will have to tell her why. But what if I come out just fine? I am not going to sacrifice more judgement and my feelings For someone else's. it's about me this time. Anyway vent done lol. Just wanted you to know I completely know how you feel!

Age smage lol.. Does it matter when we are all going through the same thing? I need some buddies on NGO to so pls add me. A question about it... Can anyone else see the conversations you have with other people on there? Like I'm not telling many people I am having wls so if somebody who doesn't know adds me, can they see my conversations with others who have had wls?

Any of you wanna be friends on my fitness pal? My user name is Bos123. Figured it would be good to have friends on there that have the same diet??

Didn't work for me either lol damn technology! Is zinhaa your user name there too?

I am 32 and getting the plication dec3! I'm so excited:) I pop in here everyday too lots of good info on here:)

Hey all, so I've heard great things about my fitness pal, so I'm gonna give it a whirl. Anyone here who would add me as a friend there would be really helping Out. Thanks!

That's good to hear! He was great to talk to and I've watched every utube video I could of him lol. I'm not really worried about his abilities, more of a freak of nature lol hit I'm trying to not think so negative lol

I know davell. I just know I will be judged, and I'm sick of being judged! I even judged myself, thinking I'm not "big enough" to have wls. on the flip side I've been overweight my whole life and have tried very thing under the sun to be successful and have failed. so I know... That especially with some Of my closer family, they will judge me and think... Oh your getting wls? If you just diet and excersize like the rest of us have to... Blah blah blah. Of course they think wls is magic and suddenly we don't have to work at it. Anyway there's my rant, I am glad to hear that people think you are Just trying another diet. That's is my hope too:) so to be thin do you count calories? Does protein powder add many calories? Guess ill have to check it out... Also I've never heard I biotin. Is this another vitamin?

Well my md is behind me and very supportive. When I was going to have the lb done i arranged to be taken on by a dr 2 hrs away ( I live in a small town) who did fills and would follow up with me. Not so much now that I'm having the plication done. Nobody really knows anything about it here lol. And any dr that perform their own wls here ( starting at the hefty price of 12000) aren't really interested in following my procedure. However by law my provincial health care has to Pay for any medical procedure I need after so I guess if something goes wrong they have to deal with me lol. I guess I'm hoping that everything goes well and I won't need any after care, hence the decision to go with plication instea of lb. are you happy with your decision? How are you feeling? Run into any obsticals yet?
