not sure where you are at...but my nutritionist wants me to eat 1200 calories a day, but I suppose that varies with providers...but to make changes here is what you do:
1. go to goals
2. change goals
3. change to custom
4. you can change anything you want to there
Hope that is what you are looking for...best wishes to ya darlin'!

good morning everyone...just stopping in to say hello to yall...and to say I am sorry haven't been on much...have been in a big stall now for months-frustrated and sad at the same time...fluid is being removed sometime in March for my hip surgery. My doctor's office wants to see if when i get my fills back in that it might jump start me...so am praying for that outcome. God bless yall and hope yall are staying warm wherever you are...talk with yall soon!!!

Punkin6772 not sure what type of procedure you got...but that seems to be about the time frame most people take. I had my surgery on a Thursday and went back to work on the following Wednesday-but if nausea wasn't my problem I probably would have been back on that Monday. you take as much time as you need...and Congrats on your surgery and welcome to WLS land!!! best wishes!!!

gbb77901 so glad to hear you are having your surgery in August...I will be on the look out for your posts!!! let us know if you need anything...but always listen to your doctor okay...we can be sounding blocks-but remember he/she are the ones that will have done your surgery-so if in doubt-seek them out!!! you hang in there and almost Welcome to Band-Land sweetie...thinking only good thoughts for you!!!

I just love this topic...lots of interaction...thanks everyone!!!

This series of questions and answers was done way back in 2008 and some up to 2013 and I had been banded since 1/16/14 and I am 57 (almost) so I am only 6 weeks post-op and have lost 24 lbs so far...first fill is tomorrow...2/27/14 and am sure that I am going to lose all the weight I need to lose. It's all in how you eat and try to get some exercise in there too...walking will be my favorite thing to do.

YEAH I AM DOWN AGAIN!!! EVEN HAVE AN UNFILL!!! THEY PUT IT BACK IN YESTERDAY!!!

Hello Everyone...although I apparently am fallen apart I am still around. Been exercising at the pool when my job and my hip allows me too. Am really slowed down on losing...upsetting-but am managing!!! Have yet another fill today...wondering if this will really ever work...but then I think to myself lately you are your own worse enemy, not the food!!! Attitude is everything and lately my everything isn't so great...so I need a fixer uppers from my friends here on the Lap Band page. Hope you all are doing well...reading alot of the post an apparently you all are really doing well!!! I hope to check in again sometime soon...take care and God bless Everyone!

<p>Awesome Pics on here...no where near another pic...but its nice to see that loads on here have done it!!! Thanks for sharing.</p>

wish i'd foun@@JustWatchMe where do you get the shake packets? i've been looking for soemthing like this for a while now. and with a 14hr flight coming up on my badaversay i want to be able to take some shakes with me for it but was worried about how crazy i would look with power in zip log bags.. hadn't quite figure out how to explain that one
wish i had foudn this before i posted about a stall this could be just excatly what i need to shake the lbs free.. as they are holding on like crazy..

Just had my second shake of the day. Un jury makes a great individual packet that I bought back when I was planning my vacation in May. Our office has small Water bottles in the machine, so I drank some water and shook up the packet with the remaining 8 oz of water. lunch is done!

This sounds interesting. I'll be following. Thanks tmf. I'm going to watch those videos. Good luck.

Our Kaiser support group met in July with an endocrinologist and it turns out he knows Dr Varady from the 2nd video and is actually pier reviewing some of her most recent studies right now. If you don't know, endocrinologists are hormone doctors and many work in the diabetes field. This Endo recommended Varady's work and approves of fasting like this. He was a little afraid that some patients don't get enough Protein on those fasting days but sounds like you've got that handled with the shakes?
I think adhering strictly to the plan definitely works but the plan is so malleable it makes it a great way to modify for our own lifestyles. Wish I would have known about this before surgery, although I don't believe it would have benefited me enough to avoid surgery. It's just that having the band makes the fasting so much easier since the band gives us long term satiety.
