I am new to this site, but so thankful for my lap band, I have lost 130ish pds in three years, work out and feel great, some times my port gets sore not sure why, does anyone else have that problem? Have had three fills, can eat good but watch what I eat and have done it by the book:) Thankful to the Lord for leading me in this, it has changed my life, I am healthy off meds I was on, would do it again in a heart beat!

Here comes another christian (a southern one at that :lol: ) sliding in to say hi! I am happy I found the link to this one on another post. I am always happy to find anything christian. I am not yet banded, but could still use all the prayers I can get to help me stay on track to lose weight. It's such a horrible cross to bear, but If Jesus can carry the heaviest one ever, I have no right to complain, right? I just need his help so so very much. Also, since I have not been banded yet, I'm still nervous about this for many reasons, but also because I have to wait until my work inurance changes in Sept to see what my options will be for the band. Please pray for me that I will have a good option to pick so I won't have a lot of out of pocket costs, otherwise I won't be able to afford the band. :( Prayers to all of you!

I think we both saw the same post! How great to find somewhere I can type the word PRAYER without having to preface it. Praise be to Our Lord Jesus Christ for my band and all of ya'll. Amen Hallelulia!

Hi...I don't know if anyone is still in this group or on this thread. I was banded in January 2012. I've lost 70lbs so far. I believe that God allowed someone to create this tool in order to help me get healthy.

Would love to talk to any Christian bandsters still out there.

I have lost 60 pounds, and still struggling to lose 30 more, but I know I can do all things through Christ who strenghthens me. I was banded in January of 2010.

Hi I am a Christian and am glad to find the Christian banisters, anyone using myfitnesspal so I can friend you. I need some ideas on how everyone is eating. I'm getting bored with my routine.

In Christ

Hi, I just started using myfitnesspal yesterday. I have had a long journey (08/2008) with the lapband and would get it again tomorrow but I would certainly do some things differently. I am tutornmom on myfitnesspal as well.

Does it track fats and carbs or just calories?

Hi Everyone! Nice to "meet" you all. I only use myfitnesspal for the weight loss ticker but I've talked to others who absolutely love it for tracking food and exercise. I use the Lapband.com food tracker myself. I also have at least 30 more pounds to lose. We'll see how I feel/look at that point and see if I want to go for another 10 or 20. God bless!

It tracks whatever you want it too. I found it best to sign on my computer and get all the profile information done and then I use myfitnesspal app for my Iphone. I usually track carbs Protein calories and Fiber. I will add you as a pal. Good Luck.

      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.

      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!!
