I've been tracking in a notebook since surgery until yesterday (well, I took a break over Christmas break).  I found the site myfitnesspal.com and started using that yesterday.  I have found everything I've eaten using their search and was able to put in my calorie and protein goal and it keeps track, gives me totals and tells me how close I am to the goal or if I'm over.  I can also log my exercise.  I did a person best on the elliptical yesterday for 30 minutes and it told me that I burned 400 calories.  I am working to get back on track after Christmas break and have had a stressful week at work, so this is helping me not eat too much.

 hi
I noticed that you had Dr. Kralovich......I am thinking of going to him for the sleeve.  Did you like him? How long did it take from consult to surgery day?  Are you happy with the sleeve?  Any other information that you can give me would be great too.
Thanks

Topic: RE: Any MI Sleevers
Where in Michigan are you located?  I live near Ionia, and the closest support group for me is in Grand Rapids at Grand Health Partners.  There were about 5 of us sleevers at the group, alot of RNY'ers..and one or two DS'ers...I don't think any lap banders.

With the winter roads, I haven't been attending because I don't want to drive 50 minutes on the expressway to get there.  I wish there were one closer.  If you weren't too far away..we could meet half way..and see who else would like to meet up.

Hi Kristy.

Good to see you again Glad your doing well.

These OH board have slowed down quit a bit.

Miss the old gang. I see you, Jani, Debbie, and Pam on the FB often.
BM, Cheryl, Sandy on There too.
Have not seen Brenda and a few others for ever. I often wonder how they are doing and if all is well with everyone.
I hope everyone is doing well.

Seems like are Daily cyber coffee has fallen by the way side since summer.

Hello Mary!

I have been so crazy busy lately haven't taken the time to visit the OH Board.

Life is going great for me and my family so no complaints here. 

QOTD - I don't use any online tools . . I usually keep manual track and since July when I gave up the white stuff I haven't been tracking.  . . but doing well.

Enjoy the day!

Topic: RE: Non Supportive Friends
What great insight
WOW
I almost forgot about experiencing the same situation.
about 4 yrs before my surgery choice. I met a girl at work who had RNY and I asked her a lot of questions about the surgery. But I did tell her that I considered it before asking. She did not mind answering my questions when she knew I was wondering how it would be if I did it. It took me 4 yrs to get my guts up to ask my PHP for a referral to the BC enter.

So she may just be asking because she is trying to sort her own feeling out about the process, and if she could handle the life style changes.

Hook her up to the OH site and tell her she can join as a friend of your so she can join your support team. then she could research and learn if not your her own benefit but to be there for you. Might help save a friendship!

Maybe your eating buddy is unhappy about her own situation too!
