I was curious to know if anyone signed up for this site. I was given a packet after surgery. I went to this site to get my patient id card and it has different trackers on there. If you use this site please let me know because I'd like to get some cheers from support team members on there.

I am assuming it goes to the site because I have a "cheer" icon and it says I don't have any cheers, yet. But to add support, you have to enter people's name and email.

I use it to track my food and such. I don't love the site but it isn't awful either. I like the Realize band site better, but it won't unlock all of the tools if you don't have a realize band.

I use the site to put my weight loss.It helps me see in the long run how much I have lost because I only lose about a pound a week. I've lost 45 so far and April 3rd will be 1 year. I am very happy with the loss.

i got a packet of stuff from my doc, too, and it talked about signing up for the site. i signed up and it seems alright. i tried tracking food on there but the automatic look up thing doesn't seem to have a lot of variety of things in the "bank" of foods to choose from. so i decided not to use that. the weight tracking part was ok but my doc is linked to this site called remedymd.com that all the info from my doctor's appointments is automatically logged into online. like when i go to the doctor for a checkup/weigh in, my weight is automatically updated online. when i have an appt, it automatically puts it in my calendar online and etc. etc. it's pretty cool. so far i haven't really used the lapband journey site and i had no friends to add for cheers either so that was kinda depressing. i use thedailyplate.com for food and fitness logging and i seem to like that pretty good and then i use the remedymd.com site for mainly weight tracking as it's linked to my doctor as i said before.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
