There has to be many health drinks going on here. What are your secret nutritious concoctions. I'll list mine when i have the specifics in front of me. I'm wondering...

What cold processed brand do you use and where is some info on this? I'm always looking to improve..

I've always been attracted to heavier women. Its just me. My ex-wife has the band and to be honest she went too far for me. she was lovin it but I was like wait where did my wife go..... There are a lot of us guys who like women with some weight on them. They dont always fes up... So here, here ladies...Dont lose too much!

Dalton ga, Rep!

maybe i should post a soon to be single thread Here!!!

where are we at on this? I think this is a good idea.

I realized that I came here early when I was banded and I was like a lost puppy. I found many answers to my million questions. I wanted to thank everyone for the support. I have tried to return the favor by answering post. Another thing i wanted to mention is if any of you are with hamiltons weight care you are very fortunate. I was treated like a jewel with those people. They were very professional and went above and beyond to satisfy my needs. Dr. Fromm done an excellent job and the whole staff was great! :clap2:

negative! not that fast! But quick for me...

Tuna or chk salad. Mine ofcourse. i make the best in town! wheat tomatoe and basil crackers/chunk of sharp cheddar cheese. I had to get off this stuff I ate it so often for a couple years.... hummmm thinking its time to go Back!

153.00 until ded. is met then 20% Why arent these considered a office visit co-pay?

workin on the last 30 for a year now. I too am considering a fill. I will wait to January to decide that..

The quality of my life is better. Much better. The problems I had before the band have not changed. If being overweight is your only problem you're in good shape. I wouldnt change a thing but I have issues tha this cant fix as I'm sure we all have. Peace and happiness to you!

Drink Sprite at the movies only. No other carbonated beverages!

Protien Shake on most days.... Shoneys Breakfast Bar on cheat days!!

what a great chart. I've considered a fill recently but I'm not sure. I've mad other lifestyle changes and I want to wait now. I think I'm all green area but in the recent past I was cheating a lot. Heavy sugared alchohol drinks and drinking with meals was a habbit. I need to level out and see if the wait loss returns. 90 days I've not drank anything but the drinking with meals could stand some improvement.

Look at it with the barium. If you are seeing the restriction and feeling it then I'd wait. If its moving right through then I'd consider it while its free. Yes they can always remove it!

mine was a little easier but it was close to what you are going through. Be patient.. Maybe it will ease up soon...

I wouldnt change a thing either..My band keeps me from over eating and I have a better quality life..

any more progress since the fill? I have been a slow loser also and also not following the rules...

fried rice soup is great for delivery!

A great idea! Thanks in advance...People helping people..

I also have derailed the band for the last 6-8 months...Eating more than I should by washing it right down. I believe I have the perfect restriction when I do what I am suppose to. I know i do because I can see the weight come off..Addictions..Yeah, I'd agree most here have that problem or we would be able to control most of this....I've traded addictions like stuff on ebay! buying into one and selling another. Alchohol, smoking, eating. These are gone except still working on the diet. I now have better addictions. Jogging, lifting weights, and micro-managing every other thing in my life except the diet!! Go figure..We will prevail and you keep up the therapy. It works or does for me..

A reminder the band isnt the only change we need. We still have to eat right and exercise whenever possible,,Thats my problem...Drinking with meals! Washing it straight thru! I did not make the 205 November goal.I'm 210. I move on to 199 by the New Year. My action plan is simple. A real scheduled exercise plan. After work 5 days a week. Follow my band rules and I wont be eating 1/2 what I am now. My exercise has been great but the diet has kept me even weight.... Remember a new lifestyle change also not just restricted eating...I will prevail..

After all this time i have not followed the rules...Drinking while eating is absolutely derailing my progress. Old and new bandsters, remember if you are washing the calories down then you are defeating the purpose! Now I have to rely again on my self discipline to not do this!:bandit

Unless there is a miracle I will not make the 205 by 11/1. I will weigh and post just to hold myself accountable here!
