I like the EAS advantedge shakes - choc, French vanilla, caramel latte... All are pretty good, super low carb/sugar and have 17g of protein

Hi everyone!!! I've been so out of the loop, my husband had back surgery about 3 weeks ago, so I've been super busy taking care of him... Hope everyone has been doing well! I lost 23 lbs total, but have been stuck at same weight for the last 10 days... To be honest though , I have not been getting any exercise in next week I plan on beginning a couch to 5 k plan and want to run a 5k by end of June ... I just had my 2nd fill and am up to 5.6 cc in my 10cc band Finally, saw a nutritionist who recommended My Fit Foods as a way to stay on track with healthy portion controlled meals... I'm doing the 3 day challenge right now, and if all goes well, I'll try out the 21 day challenge... Hoping to get off this plateau and lose another 10lbs by memorial day!!!

I'm in Austin TX, banded on 2/24 going great so far!!!

I started mushies on Thursday , to be honest , I actually felt a lot better! I think getting some solid protein in was helpful... I had scrambled egg whites, cottage cheese, hummus, and tuna salad Still eating everything in very small portions, sometimes can't finish all, but overall feeling really good

Try Amitiza, it's a prescription drug for chronic constipation ... Your dr will have to prescribe it

Hi Anna! Yeah, I'm very happy with true results I had my 2 week post op today, down 16 lbs total... Do you go to the support group? I haven't been yet but will probably go this month

It was one of the many fad diets I've tried in the past... It definitely works, since you are on only diluted juice for 2 days... you should look into the 5 day pouch test - seems alot of people on here are doing it, and it makes sense... liquids first 2 days, then mushies for 2 days, then back to small portions.... kind of like a condensed version of post op....

My mom was 30 BMI and was self pay, and we both got banded on 2/24. Our surgery was with True Results Austin , costs 9,900 for self pay, and they will take patients at 30 BMI or higher ... They use the allergen lap band with low profile port and have amazing aftercare program. You can definitely find a surgeon to band you at 34 BMI in the states

I had the same question about the gum - why can't you shew it? I'm big on gum....

I am back to work full time today.... I work as a dental sales rep, so in and out of car today... I had my surgery on 2/24, so really a week off of work I probably could have gone back sooner

I am in dental sales, so in and out of car all day , not too intense, but I was grateful to have a week off to recover!!

Thank you everyone!
