I prefer whey...why? soy has been shown to mess with hormone levels but it does have great nutrients. I look for the protien levels. My 2 cents

Lisa..... So there is a reason I won't let Billy squeeze me too hard. Greg, your so on top of it, Thanks

Hi Blossom, Congratulations!!! The difference is in the machine they use. An upper GI is a term, Also called an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series or simply an upper GI, upper gastrointestinal tract radiography is an x-ray examination of the esophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine. However, in order for the anatomy to show up on radiographic images, the upper gastrointestinal tract must be coated or filled with a contrast material called barium, an element that appears bright white on radiographs. The barium is given to the patient to drink. This procedure is called upper gastrointestinal tract radiography when the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum are evaluated, or a barium swallow when only the pharynx and esophagus are evaluated. Fluoroscopy is a technique for obtaining "live" X-ray images of a living patient. The X-rays is coupled to a television camera. The Radiologist can then watch the images "live" on a TV monitor. Basically, It's just referring to the machine.

Wow Babs! Holy cow, they fit!!!! LOL Isn't it fun shopping now! Congratulations

Hi Patty, I am also sorry to hear about your freinds death. Good luck with your banding process. I have been banded for 15 months and it has changed my life.

Michelle, I’m in 12’s….Stretch Cords are great, you’ll be the first in line if I’m out of theses, and thanks, I know how much you understand. Betty, Marie, Becky, Nancy, Alexandra, Babs, Greg, Pam, Cindy and everyone else thanks for your well wishes and concerns :banana Leatha, you ROCK! Your knowledge is out of here! If it wasn’t about your information…this fill wouldn’t have gone this smooth! THANKS (keep it coming) Rebecca-lee, If kinky was ever a problem?? (hope NOT) LOVE your posing pup pic, YES your dog was posing, and you look GREAT. I read that you’ve been to Monterey, than you’ve drove right by my place. You better stop in if you even think of going this way and posting about it! Marie, When are we ever going to see your sweet face…post baby, POST Leatha and Anne we were all filled this week, so lets compare in a few weeks if our fills get "tighter" That's what I'm hoping for! I hate being on mushies; I love Soup but want some real food! This morning I could gulp Water. I did want a bit more of a fill but my Doc convinced me, he was actually boasting "look at the screen that's a perfect text-book fill" besides I don't want to be tooo-tight. Cindy, I agree, we hear more about the band problems on these boards and we're aware that these problems can happen to any of us. That's why I feel these flouro fill are so important, even if its just a check-up.

Congratulations! After all you've been through, there's only one way to go and thats....down (in weight) :banana

Leatha, you Rock! Congratulations..Inches are way cool as we all know, and so many have said "clothes fit losser" it's not all in the weight. I just noticed your short, I don't remember you being short in Vegas? You have the best links and info! 5.5oz. I'm doing cottage cheese in the morning I get my flouro fill on Thursday! yA.

Get my drift? Marie I hate those long sleve sweaters, just because they make clothes bigger, why do they make the sleeves longer? LOLOL and now it's still the same were not monkeys what's with the .3? your 180...

Cool you found it "Geez, I read this post and then took a nap. I dreamed I was walking down the street (after banding) in nothing but my new smaller sized Incredible Hulk briefs. And I was getting all sorts of wolf whistles, but they were all guys! Help!" and I still need help..couldn't find were the quote option is hey maybe you bumped Donali? Ryan still wishing you the best With all your hopes, thoughts and Honeysuckle dreams

Hey Marie..Someone who feels like me! But, I can't fart...I don't have a colon! OK, I do get gas....but it's not a green sustained kiss of Roses..

Oh Becky How sweet! I love purples, furry...I'm sure anything you do will be beautiful! We're at the same weight! 179! :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny I think you might pass me up thou... I go for a flouro fill on thursday...I'm getting excited. We'll see how it go's cause I can eat anything right now.

WOW! so cute Becky...You're good! Hey that was quick OK, If you want to sell one let me know? It sounded like Teresa is way busy...but If either of you girls want to sell me one...???

Thanks Ladies....I just spent an hour looking for that post of Ryan's dream so I could quote it. I think he deleted it? Anyway, I believe his surgery is this Thursday, please correct me if I'm wrong. Ryan the best of luck, I'll be thinking of you!

Have a good time! Bring bottled water and Gatorade.

Bummer, How fustrating. I know you were looking forward to this, your first fill. Why do you have to wait couple of weeks?
