i put the water and protein scoop and crsytal light in a large measuring cup and blend it with a hand blender then pour it over ice, very smooth no grit.

precision all natural whey from new zealand it is not tasteless just unflavoured

I've started adding my unflavoured protein powder to my water with a crystal lite pack and it is good, still light and refreshing. Does anyone else do this or do you get enough protien from food alone?

Looking for lunch ideas for work as well as interested in how much food/what kinds of foods you eat at your particular stage in the band process. Today's lunch was a can of salmon and a few grapes. Wonder if I will reach a point when I can only eat half a can of salmon or even less?

Oh wow you are all doing so well. I had a complete unfill after my surgury due to swelling and they have been putting the Fluid back in .2cc's at a time. Right now I am at 4.8cc and starting to feel that truly not hungry or thinking about food feeling. I also skipped a few months of going in for a fill because I found it hard to take one day off a month from work. Can I ask you a few question for comparison: 1. How many cc's do you have? 2. At what point did you really start to feel restriction? 3. How much exercise do you do and how have your habits changed in the past year Thanks so much I find this type of sharing very inspirational :0)

Just wanting to compare notes with others who were banded around the same time as me. So far I've lost 35 pounds, doesn't seem like a lot for a year but it has been a huge lifestyle change and I know I need to exercise!!!

I'm losing slowly but just cant seem to exercise, which I know will speed up the process.....at what point did you start exercising? How much how long?It feels overwhelming to me right now.

I got a fill last week and feel good restriction. I only have 4.8cc in a 10cc band and I'm on the edge of the green zone. Many people have much more restriction than I do and I was wondering what happens when you have to throw up? flu? I just had an episode of dry heaves for no food related reason, my family has been sick, but I did not throw anything up, even though I just had dinner. Is it possible for your lower stomach contents to come through the small band opening? Have you had the flu yet?

mis73 congrats on your loss you did really well really quickly!!!!

I havnt lost that much weight but it seems ive lost a little all over EXCEPT my stomach....it looks bigger than ever!

I am excited that I am finally starting to go down in clothing sizes. I feel like I am still attracted to larger clothes because they hide my newly drooping skin but they are unflattering in the shoulders and on my body as a whole. How have you coped with wearing the right size but hiding the flab factor?

I got mine at Sobeys

I figured out the ticker!!

yum what is your recipe? Also, how do you update your ticker? I dont remember my pin...great weightloss!!!!!!
