I am on MFP too. I would love you to friend me. my user name is rkimom. I was banded over two years ago and have been had core back to MFP for a couple of months and am finally losing again. I like that I can log on my phone or iPad and it syncs them. No excuses for not journaling.

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"

MFP is great for tracking you food, but I don't use it for that primarily. I use it to determine the nutritional value of my recipes and food choices. I have found it is great for that. Tracking you food choices is an excellent way of keeping yourself on track. I have done it a few times, but I am not fanatical about carb count like some on the forum. You need some carbs for energy and balance.

I think it is good you are getting into the habits and lifestyle before surgery. I am betting you will have fewer adjustment problems than some seem to have. Your pre-op guidelines sound very reasonable. Just don't let your good pre-op results give you second thoughts about the sleeve. It is the best thing that every happened to me and my daughter. Good luck on your journey.

My MFP name is 12beamup. Maybe I'll see you there...Kathe

Keep track of everything you eat. Even on the bads days when you want to conveniently forget;-) You will be shocked to see how quickly you can 10 calorie yourself up to 1600. I agree with Grannyk, learning the good habits now will be better so you are not so emotional after the surgery. You are going to LOVE the sleeve, it is a life changing event.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
