I had surgery 07/10 224 I lost down to 167 and became pregnant in 03/11. As of now it's 06/12 and I'm down to 142! I can not wait to get down to 120!!

Ya it doesn't take long (which made me question it) - it was just a little article I had seen on doing 1000 a week doesn't matter how it's broken up. But who knows!!

Ok so I work out for the most part 5 days a week and sometimes twice a day! I've gone from 225 to 142 and have had a baby in between that! I've heard that doing 10 reps of 100 jumping (1000 total) jacks in a week will make you lose 1 pound a week ( of course with a good diet and such) I just wanted to see if any of you all have tried or heard of this! I guess it's worth a shot I did my first rep tonight!! Thanks!

I have to drink Protein shakes since I'm only able to get in a small amount of meat and greens at each meal - the protein shake has over 25g of protein! Much more than I can get from eating solids.. I don't do it for a meal replacement just mainly for the extra protein and vitamins! Also add some banana and Peanut Butter after my workout with spirulina ( which is 60% protein, amino acids, b12's potassium, Calcium, folic acid, and GLA - it's a super food basically! I love it!!)

Well I've done mine and the scale has moved .8 lbs which isn't much but it's something for 2 days of doing it lol! It's something new for my body so it could just be reacting to it. Yep body pump, spin, Nike fit.. I do them all

I'm sorry yes the Protein shake is called DESSERT I got mine at smoothie factory but it's sold at GNC Vitamin SHOP and online. It's the first protein shake I can actually tolerate after being on them for 8 weeks straight almost!!

I was on straight protein shakes and drinks until week 3 after that I loved beans! I made tons of black beans with salsa and avocado and puréed it!

First mushies I ate were KFC mash potatoes too lol! I can hardly get protein shakes down to this day! A month of protein shakes and soups were horrible! I have found an amazing one though it's called dessert it's coconut chocolate bar! It's amazing I mix it with bananas fresh cocount milk and peanut butter! Yum! Just had a fill today so that's my lunch, dinner and Greek coconut yogurt for breakfast! hope surgery goes well! It will be over before you know it!

I love the new monsters!! They are only 20 cals green tea and rojo tea are my favorites! It's energy plus tea and no carbonation!!!

I have the gas pains some foods trigger it more than others .. I know it could possibly be my gallbladder but it's not worth it for me to have surgery again and be down for 3-4 weeks recovering with no workout! I just avoid those foods lol!

They use a ultrasound machine to find the port! Well atleast my doctor does and so far so good he has found it every time.. Since I have dropped weight now he make me bring my feet 6 inches off the table so he can locate it- well at least I think that's why or he is just getting a kick watching me struggle lol! Best of luck! I'm sure they will find it!

I was banded in July of '10 and was pregnant by March '11 and we were not trying at all. I had lost 60 pounds tho! I was so nervous through the pregnancy about gaining excess weight but I went from 157-184 and had a small unfill .. Now 6 months later I have a beautiful baby boy and I'm down to 143!! I love my band! I will say it is harder for them to find my port now due toy abdominal wall muscles moving with the pregnancy!! Just hurts a bit more to get a fill!

I wish you the best on eating fruit do it now lol! Since I've had a few fills I can not have fruit now! I try grapes oranges pineapples apples - none will work with me lol. Watermelon and bananas are ok! I miss fruit!

I would be cocerned if you are throwing up the first couple of days your stomach is swollen due to the surgery so throwing up will inflam it even more causing the Band to tighten up which is probably what you are feeling. However my doctor put no fluid in my band at first (which I'm sure is the case for most) and then you gradually go up in cc's but If you are already feeling restrictions then ya you need to go in ( I feel so bad for you! Hope all is well soon!

I'm 144 right now and 5'3 I got my band in July 2010 and 10 months later I was pregnant .. So I have dropped about 40 pounds since my son but my goal weight is 120ish!!
