I have heard that your body can absorb only a certain amount of Protein. You might want to check with your nutritionist if you have not already. It is an additional. 110 calories you are adding plus anything else you add to shake. I add half frozen banana and a heaping tbls of natural Peanut Butter made from only peanuts nothing else added and a cup of 30 calorie vanilla unsweetened almond milk. Two scoops wild not be nutritional for me. Just a thought I may be wrong. I am very glad to know that you like the shake. It is so hard to find the right one,

I can not imagine eating 1/4 cup of food. I eat 1/2 cup. Are you sure doctor did not mean 1/4 cup protein? I would really get back in touch with doctor as well as the doctor's nutirtionist.

Can you share any before and after pictures?

I have no answers or suggestions. I just hope you get better soon and get to keep your band. Please keep us posted!

Very nice story to read so early in the morning. Congrats!!!

I agree with every one else not to mention for me it is very important to be accountable to someone other then yourself. I stopped going to doctor also and didnt keep to the plan. When I did go back I hade to pay more because they would not fill be without a flouro to make sure my band is ok. Now that I am back on track they are able to just fill me in an office visit which is much cheaper.

I have never heard of that before , but if you trust your doctor trust he is doing what is best for you. Maybe he wants to make sure you are mentally ready. What did your doctor say was the reason? Stay Strong!

Nice idea!! Sometimes I get a 3oz cup of tcby frozen greek yogurt.

Sorry my bad. I should not have been in such a hurry. Best of luck to you.

I decided to go with Bodytech whey tech pro 24. It is a Vitamin Shoppe brand and on sale until the end of month. I bought 2lbs of chocolate and 2lb of vanilla for $38.00. Then i bought unsweetened almond milk vanilla for 30 calories a cup.

careful weighing yourself ever day. if you are gonna do that you gotta be able to handle it and sometimes that can be a challange

i was told by doctor 60-80. you should really be getting this info from your doctor or nutritionist.

measure and track everything. i find that since i started cooking my own meals and not eating a lot of processed foods that the healthier i eat the easier it is to stay on track. you have to get all the sugar and crap out of your system so you will stop craving. it all boils down to "want power" and hard work. hope you get back on track soon. best of luck.

Nice post. You are beautiful inside and out!!

I gurgle a lot. I have no problems with my band.

Good idea but I was noticing when drinking I was surprised it was not very cold.

I also have another question. I have been getting pain in the back of my shoulder when I drink shakes. I get this when I over eat but why when I am taking in liquids? It is so painful.

Thanks I need a powder

Decaf coffee soothes my sweet tooth and I love watching the food network for cooking inspiration. Make sure you are drinking enough water. Also I never eat out of boxes or bags and when I am done eating I put the food away. Out of sight out of well you know

I am very proud to share this picture with you guys. I started 4 years ago lost my way. I managed to keep almost 50lbs off. Since I have gotten my ass in gear the end of last October I have lost 58.8 for a total today of 100.2! I am proof that you can do it. If you are not doing well or lost your way you can get back on track!! If I can do it anyone can! my journey is just beginning!!

I am sorry you have been through so much but everything you have gone through will just make you stronger and more ready. Hang in there. I so wish I had the sugery when I was much younger. You can do it!!

We have almost the same list. Yay us!!!

Depends totally on your doctor and their availability. Good luck!

I was chatting with someone the other day and they started her on pureed at the hospital after sugery. I have never heard of that before but hopefully the doctors know what they are doing.

If you are concerned the first thing you should do is call your doctor. There are no band doctors or nurses on this site that I have heard of.
