Hi Alex, More ability to set our own calories, protiens and levels fr daily goals... MFP is great but its hard to adjust it to what we need to aim for. Also on the food search option... suggestive spelling... and when you add quick calories, there needs to be a description area " went out to eat" "birthday dinner" "cassarole im guessing at"... whatever the case may be so we can track it better. I love being able to see what my friends are doing and eating... and make comments on posts. good luck with your project.. i cant wait to see it!

congratulations.... i just saw my Doc today and he set mine up for the 28th of Dec pending final insurance approval... WOOOOOOOOOOHooooooo's all around!

I find it SO fustrating that the WLC's and the Docs make us jump threw such hoops.... its such a waste of money and time sometimes. Its like telling aperson who needs heart surgery that they will do it.. .IF the person can run two miles on the treadmill while standing on there hands and whistling dixie. ~sorry had to vent~

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

congratulations!!!!!

congratulations!

Sorry your having to go threw this... im going in to the hopst tommorow morning for a Heide Test for my Gallbladder. The liver ultrascan showed a distention and my liver number are elevated.. so the dr is trying to rule things out but is leaning towards gallbladder blockage or failure... im almost happy he is being so carefull... after reading up on gallbladder issues i noticed i have 3/4's of them.. and have had them for a few years... so maybe this is a blessing afterall.

I had mine today.... the worst part was the IV... other then that i cant remember a thing... so im going to say it was easy. I got an ALL CLEAR from the doc... so life is good:)

im glad it went so well for you.. i go in for mine on wednesday... that and a liver ultrascan on the same day ( enlarged liver and high levels). keep us posted and i hope everything else goes as smoothly

i understand totaly about the preop weight loss.... tough love time here..... stop making excuses and do what your heart tells you is right. it will NEVER be perfectly ok with everyone else... we cant please everyone all the time.. this surgery is about US.. not them. you can do it.. i have faith in you.

thanks Kathie... i needed the attagirl:)

HI.. I joined myfitness pal a few days ago.. someone here suggested it for helping me track my food. Im Pre-op and doing the three month NSWL before final insurance approval. I am trying to eat High protien low carb and stick to 1600 calories... My Doc also put me on Bio-Lean...(my mother calls them hooey pills) If anyone else uses that site or is in the same boat as i am please add me as a friend.. I would love to have someone in the same boat as i am. Most i have found on that site are not WLS people... i keep hearing people here talk about it.. so im sending up a flare to find me!!!!!! my nick over there is "Mrsktillman"

cant wait to hear how long it takes Cigna to approve it.. im with the ame company.. doing my three month NSWL now:) good luck!

Dr Gornichec at the Weight Loss Center of Oklahoma... great Dr and Staff 405-713-4449

Go buy one! For the first time in ummmmm 20 years or so i looked at them at wal-mart also. i had banished them from my house before this. My surgery inst until feb 2013... but im already looking for the right one to buy now so i can start tracking it myself. You need to look for the positive side of the surgery.. you WILL Lose weight. Your setting yourself up for a failure if you think your going to lose slowly already... think posative and go buy a scale to track the incrediable weight lose your about to start! good luck on youir surgery... im going to friend you so i can follow up on how great your doing:)

I have been reading along on this site for a few days... afraid to post i guess.. .UNTIL i saw your post about the rides. That is on my bucketlist also.. i want so much to be able to fit into the rides again. I still have nightmares about the last time i tried to squeez into the batman ride and had to get off of it while everyone watched.. it was horrid!
