Hey there.....I go to Sparkpeople all the time. Love the articles they email me and I am forever checking out new recipes on that site. I really like it. Do you visit the site too? What do you like about it? Where are you in Louisianna? I am originally form Jackson MS and my brother lives in Baton Rouge.....small world! Best wishes, Ann:cool2:

I use Sparkpeople to log my food and exercise, but that is pretty much all I do use it for. I might read the odd article, collect my spark points (not sure what exactly for...) and poke around the message boards now and then too.

The food tracking feature is especially helpful to me, because I find it interesting to see the impact different foods have on my diet goals. I love the reports it generates, and figure that will be helpful when I meet with the nutritionist in a few months;this is information I'm supposed to have documented.

I would recommend it to new bandsters like myself (02/03/09) who need help in getting sufficient Protein via real food instead of supplements, and for counting calories, especially while waiting for the first fill. Since I'm supposed to be limiting my calorie intake to 1200 to 1500, I'll probably always use it to some degree or another, because it is amazing how quickly they do add up!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
