love the cliff builder mint chocolate ones. sooo yummy and they have 20 grams of protien. so thats 1/3 of daily goal anyway. even though i dont usually eat the whole thing at one time.

when im trying to do like 1+ hours on the treadmill ill hit up mitch hedgbergh station on pandora. im laughing my ass off literally lol

drink more water and try fiber. i eat a fiber one bar just about everyday. its hard with all the protien to stay regular. and dont strain too much. if it wont come out, just try again later

static x destroyer is my go to when im running or cycling when im ready to go balls to the wall i just put it on repeat and let loose. even if u like country this song will put u in kick butt mood. but i have mostly hard rock or metal anyways with a little lmfao, intergalactic by beastie boys. cool down songs afternoon delight, all the young dudes, just ramdoms...

i love this workout. how is everyone doing with it? i would love to join when ur done with this round of it.

says its geared for children. the saber is the only one that could hold any significant weight but it does look cool. id like to kjnow how big it is i would love to get one but i dont want to looke like a bear on a tricycle

eat more and drink more. i think u had that post about almost passing out at the gym. i used to have that happen all the time when was on phentermine. i ate like 800 calories a day and would then do turbo jam and just had absolutely no energy but would push myself and bam. if ur working out u need to eat more. i like intense workouts so i dont even have my band tight. its probably too loose but i need to take in more calories to compensate for what im burning

i love the 30 day shred from jillian michaels its just like the insanity but its only 20 min workout with 3 levels. with a kid and work all the time i really dont have any time during the day so th 20 minutes is perfect. i got it at sams for like $8.

i do the insanity sometimes an i feel fine. just listen t your body. but the excercise wont cause ur band to slip.

so the day has finally come. i cant wait to get my fill tomorrow but im worried that i wont get any restriction. just wondering everyones experiences with first fills... has anyone gone straight to a half fill or has their dr let them do the water test on the first fill. i am so ready to just do this diet/lifestyle. i am also hoping they let me start my workouts. i got the julien michaels 30 day shred, it;s like a water downed version of insanity. anyway i just want to kinda know what to expect tomorrow. i have to drive 2 hrs each way and i just dont want to get there and expect all this restriction and not get anything. got banded 1/12

good u got that fixed girl!!! sounds crazy. i got 4 cc in my 10 cc band and i do feel some restriction but i know i need more so ill set up another in 2 weeks. it was weird being able to feel the band moving when she got the needle into the port.

agreed!!!! so does anyone have any particular recipe they absolutely love? i am just starting out and i want to make a big pot of something but just not sure what. recipes are greatly appreciated. i am going to go over and check out the recipe section of this site but figured might as well plant the seed everywhere~!!!!

love ur blog just spent like an hour looking through all ur goodies. definitely going to be on my favorites bar. just got my first fill yesterday so still kinda feeling the waters here. i got 4 cc in a 10cc band. i am a low bmi er so i think ill need more in a couple weeks but we will see. its interesting to read how ur band gets tighter with the weather. my knees do that all the time so yay now they have company. (sarcasm) but anyhoo thanks for the support!!!

u have to get it from a dr. unless u order it online but u pay out the woozah!! primary physicians can prescribe it. ive taken it since 5th grade, im not now but i was thinking the same thing yesterday after my 1st fill. i had to do liquids the rest of the day and i was thinking about the couple aderalls i have at home that could supress my hunger which waws out of control. but i went to ladles and got some Soup and i was good. anyways depending on how much fill u have u might not be able to get the pill down. well maybe the little robin egg ones. definitely not the time release capsules. u would have to open it and pour the little beads in ur mouth. when i do that i only need 1/2 and it lasts all day. see if ur dr will give u those. good luck !!!

i lost 20 on the pre op liquid diet. which for me was 6 muscle milk lights. the smaller ones from costco. and water. a couple days after the surgery i already felt back to normal. no restriction it was like i never even had the surgery. and i wasnt even allowed to workout besides walking or stationary bike. i went back 2 weeks post op hoping for a fill but he said i have to wait til week 5 but he does not expect patients to lose weight until they get some restriction. these 5 weeks have been so disappointing cuz u get the band and expect to just start down the road to sucess and watch the lbs melt away but ita definitely not like that. hopefully tomorrow i will get a good restriction and be living it up baby!!! never thought i would be so excited to only eat 3 C of food a day but yes maam i cant wait!!!

i got banded 1/12 and i am not even feeling like i had the surgery i know i have to hang in there but its so hard. just want to feel some restriction!!!!

congrats!!! u look amazin!!!!

what is this sliming u speak of??? like the salivating you get before u throw up?

oh yea girl i got banded 1/12 and i cant wait to get a fill i am eating just like before so u arent alone. bandster hell apparently. sucks big time. good luck girl and hang in til u get ur fills

to shauna, wouldnt lasagna be a slider so it would make a little more sense to eat more? also what it PBing. i thinking pb&j but i know that's not what u mean. cant wait til valentines day for my fill.

i was never told about this no gum policy. whats up with that?

i am the same as u and i always get the :u arnt ev en that big" or "i thought it was for really big people" sooo annoying. i just got banded 1/12 so far so good don't let anyone steer u wrong. u do what u need to do to feel good about yourself. screw everyone else good luck on ur journey!!!!

all i could have pre surgery was 6 muscle milk lights a day and tons of water. for 2 weeks it was crazy. but the muscle milks actually taste good and they have 20 g of protien so they do keep u full for a good amount of time considering. good luck in ur journey!!! it's super exciting!! i am about 3 weeks post op and cant wait to get my fill but its still awesome!!!

i got banded on thursday and went back to work on tuesday. i am a barber so its all day on ur feet and busy so i was really sore and i always felt i had a high pain tolerance. when i walked it maybe looked like i was a little sore from working out or something. u should be fine to go back on monday. i just got banded 1/12 and i did just start my strenuous workouts with no problem except i can barely move because my muscles are so sore. praiswe jillian micheals 30 day shred. but i felt no strain on my band or any discomfort or anything

i was laughing so hard whilst reading thine commandments LOL!!! just got banded 1/12 so this is all still so new to me. i am printing them up to put on my bathroom mirror. thx!! and is it wierd that i dont know how big my band is??? dont really care i guess but i will find out on thursday. love this site by the way Ya'll are awesome!!!!
