Hi everyone!! This is my first post & I'm looking for October surgery buddies. I'm very excited about the surgery. I've gotten my psych clearance, scheduled my sleep study, nutrition classes and upper endoscopy. My date is October 14th. Btw, anyone here from Jersey? Look forward to making friends w everyone!

@@Kathy812 If it wasn't for My Fitness Pal - I wouldn't have the patience to track all my calories and Protein etc. It is really a great tool-highly recommend trying it. Also it's nice that you can share logs with friends to see how they are doing. Well, even though I am eating alot of calories, I still seem to be averaging about 3 lbs a week weight loss so I guess I should be happy with that. Maybe because I keep my carbs below 30 grams a day.

If you decide to join My Fitness Pal - add me as a friend and I'll share my food diary .

Celebrating Belly bgone! So far I admit this hasn't been an easy journey but everyday I Celebrate how much easier everything is with 8 inches of bellyfat gone in just 6 weeks !! Clothes fit better - I can breathe easier - I can bend over and tie my shoes - I no longer look like I'm carrying twins at 9 months ---it just feels so good! Looking forward to losing alot more!!

Also focusing on inches instead of weight only is helping me keep perspective (especially those days when the scale isn't moving).

Impressive results, great job!

Hello sleeve friends, I am looking for a friend to visit with to go thru this walk with me! I did not have good support from my surgeon. I am not losing weight. All they said was stick to your plan or you will fail. Well, I feel like I have failed already, 3 weeks out????. I am not being negative, just needing ideals.

What is your plan? I am a little over a month out. I am feeling pretty good and losing pretty well. I can send you the plan my doctor gave me. Did they have you meet with a nutritionist? Is there one available you could meet with? There is lots of support on this forum. Hang in there.

I met with a dietitian at the hosp. He gave me very little info. I was there about 30 min. I thought I this under control, but I don't!
