    Liquid diet.

    K, so my dr told me that to jump start my weightless I can do a liquid diet, protein shakes 3-4 times a days my band is slowly getting refilled, I am hoping to lose 24lbs in 2 weeks. I know it isn't a great way of doing it but it's weight I have gained since problem with the band. I know that it should be a slower process but I don't wanna buy more clothes. So, with that said what shakes do you recommend that work and are reasonably priced. I don't have a lot of extra money at the moment. So cheap is desired . Thanks

    Im back.

    K, so after a very bad period of time in which i had to have the fluid removed due to it being too tight, I have reached a point in which I cannot get back to where I was. I had lost roughly 70lbs. And was doing great, felt great, and was starting to look great. I went in for a routine upper g.i and the barium I drank dripped through like an I.v. So they said they wanted to remove half and then see why happens. Well what happened was I now weigh more than I did before the surgery, I am so disgusted with myself it's unreal. I work out, I thought I was eating better, I even tried the joe cross reboot program. Lost 10, gained 15. So I pretty much have up. But after realizing that I need to fix things not just for me but for my family, I am back ! I had a full today, I am at 8 cc on a 10 cc band. I was at 7.5 and felt absolutely no restriction. So I'm hoping this helps. My hardest part is I don't have a lot of money, and I'm not sure what foods to eat for breakfast, lunch, and I work in a prison so it's hard to eat a lot so I'm wondering what exactly do you guys eat and how much for lunch breakfast and dinner. I need help and remember I'm low on funds. I have unlimited eggs due to my chicken lol

Thanks for the info it helps tremendously. My insurance won't pay for nutritionist no more

    Help get back

    Ok, I have just got my band filled yet again.... I have gained so much weight and I am obviously doing the wrong things. I have been eating dinner. That's about it. I work during the day and don't eat til I get off so..... I have been told to eat 5-6 small meals during the day, anyone care to share what they do. I.e what they eat. How much of it ? I lost 70lbs just from band itself, then had issued Nd had to empty it. Now that its filled I want to start losing! Fast and properly. I was told to do only shakes for 2 weeks, any ideas. I need cheap, not a lot of money at the moment.

    Protein shakes

    I was told today that I needed to do high protein low carb shakes for two to 3 weeks 70 grams of protein a day. Anyone know of a good reasonably priced ones. I'm going to gnc but I don't want spend 200$ please help !!
  10. CJohnson

    Protein shakes

    No I was afraid of spending 200, as I have never been to gnc before. I only spent 47 on platinum hydro whey , advanced hydrolyzed whey protein.

    Protein shakes

    Oh I'm sorry I just looked , it would come to be 78protein and 24 carbs a day with they whey from Walmart. With what I got its 75 protein and 5g of carbs a day. I t average about the same in price, 47$ gives me 18 days or the 30 for Walmart gives me 16 plus more carbs so I guess it ain't too much of a difference. Doctor said Lear amount of carbs I can get so I guess I'm ok.

    Protein shakes

    Cookies and cream, all they had. How much carbs are in the one from Walmart. And how many scoops per container.
  13. CJohnson

    Protein shakes

    Need help.

    I have had the lap band since 2010, I lost almost 70lbs in 2 yrs. I weigh more now than when started after complications with the band and I guess my crappy choices. I have just recently gotten my band refilled due to it being empty for so long. I work out 5 days a week. Treadmill and light weight lifting and I'm not losing, I really need help on best foods to eat and how much. I try to eat small amounts and good things I love fruit, I eat it a lot especially at work. But I stay starving ! I need to get filled some more as to I have no restriction at 5cc. Please help.
  17. CJohnson

    Need help.

    Right now I can eat a whole meal and literally be starving, you saying your whole meal is the size of 1/2 cup. I wish that woul satisfy me. Hopefully when I get my band filled and have restriction it will. I'm at 5cc and no restriction at all.

    Bypass or sleeve

    Thinking about going from my band to either. I have had band for 3 years and had list 70lbs first 2 yrs then problem with band , gained it back , now weigh more than I did when I started. I'm so ready to give up hope. I hate being this big but all the exercising, dieting, and it all seems to just not work for me. Any suggestions ?

    Bypass or sleeve

    When I do eat , it's small amounts, mostly fruits, a lot of water , some crystal light. I exercise 1-2 hrs a day 5 days a week, no weight loss. My band was working great, then I started getting real bad reflux, couldn't hardly swallow water. Had to have it emptied and refilled. I'm not where I was yet so not much restriction but I'm hoping I can get it back so I can get the help I need. I ha lostlike 70lbs. Now I'm back up more than I started. I just wish I could get that 70 back off, he'll, even 20. Make me feel like what I'm doing is working.

    Bypass or sleeve

    I really want this to work ! It's just constant disappointment so far
  21. I have had the lap band done for 3 years now. I had lost close to 70 lbs when i started having issues with night cough and reflux. They removed half of my fluid and I. 3 months time I gained back all of the weight even while doing what I thought was the correct ways. I now am having it filled again, I now go to the gym 6 days a week and am on a mission to drop it back off as fast as possible. However I'm so frustrated, I felt so good , so much better, and much better self esteem , now I just feel almost like giving up. I see so many success and wonder why not me !

    Frustrated

    I was wondering the same thing about the band test, also if anyone can help me I'm looking for a way to basically cleanse my body in order to get a fresh start. I had my band unfilled last night so I'm at 5cc now feel a lot better ! I'm looking for a good meal plan that will basically tell me what to eat and how much.

    Fill problem

    I just had a full this morning, they removed all fluids to measure and then replaced and added to my band. I'm at 6. Cc on a 10cc band since I've left the office I have thrown up the water they had me drink and have vomited a couple times on only my saliva. Should I give it time and hope swelling is the issue or go have some fluid removed.
