My favorite way to drink a protein shake is to put a spoonful of pb and ice then blend! I use EAS chocolate fudge from walmart. I crave these shakes, plus it helps that I love ice cream and this kind of replaces that for me. I am an ice cream addict. I did good not having a snack but now I have 2 sometimes 3 a day. Mostly healthy but not always. Maybe when winter is over and we are not cooped up so much it will be better for me.

Wednesday~ 1/2 c oatmeal and peanut butter 1/3c tuna salad with melba crackers 7 spoonful of lemon lush 1/2c tex mex stew,1/2pc ww bread with butter 1/2 of a bacon,egg,cheese pocket

I am one of those who are to tight in the A.m. I drink them when I can't get my oatmeal down. I also drink them after I work out as well. The weird thing is that I crave these shakes. I never thought I would enjoy them that much! My dr. is aware and says that if I can eat-go ahead and eat.

I accept!! We are in this together! I know I need a swift kick in the a** sometimes. Just about everyday I log my food in the food thread "share ideas- what did you eat today?" I have recently joined curves and I work out 4-5 times a week. I also walk 2-3 times a week on top of that. I never exercised the first several months after my surgery. Then I realized that I had to. I also think I have hit a plateau now. I lost 2# in December and have lost nothing for January!! I was thinking that I'm not getting enough calories now that I am working out consistently! By the way...what is your name?

Hello~ I am a 34yrs old~Mother of 3 boys 13.11.5. Wife of 14 years. I was banded March 24, 08 I needed to lose about 110#. I have lost around 70#. I get weighed and measured next week. I live in Indiana and we have a butt load of snow right now!! I work for our family business of heating and air conditioning- part time. I know I still need a kick in the A**!!

I still get mine from Lane Bryant--they just hold them up better now that I have lost 70#.

Welcome to the site. Congrats on your date and lots of good luck!

For me.....I was told I wasn't big enough for gastric. I went with the band and I am so glad I did. It is a decision that you should discuss further with your dr. or when you go to a seminar. My seminar discussed both and there were 1 person from each wls to discuss there journey. Do as much research as you can and ask lots of questions here and with your dr. Good Luck

Way to go.... good luck with everything!!

This is funny! I have to say I was never a fan but did it for my hubby! Now I let him squirt on my boobies and he is satisfied with that. I just can't get it down!

know one said you had to sign up for it. Some one may find that site useful!

My doc gave me a 2 week pre op of full liquids. The first couple of days were hard. It did get easier. He told me if I didn't lose weight on this pre op he would postpone the surgery. Also if I gained weight he would postpone it. Definately follow your doc's instructions.

Mine says 1 cup. The dietician says 1/2 cup. I have had 4 fills and I am lucky to eat the 1/2 cup. Some days it does seem like I can eat more and others I eat less.

Same as JuneAct2. I usually give in and let them bring me an ice water just so they shut up. I quickly adjusted to the no drinking while eating. After I eat I make sure I leave the table and start cleaning the kitchen or go do some laundry.

This was a bad weekend. We took the kids to Wisconsin Dells. We had so much fun but I ate really bad. I had pizza-thin crust w/cheese 2 days in a row. I ate chips, 2 oreos. I did take apples, ham and cheese to snack on as well. I would like to think I burned off alot of calories in the wave pool and climbing all the stairs for the tube slides. Let me just say for the first time, I climbed those stairs and was not panting when I reached the top!!!
