I take 2 children's chewables. I'm still looking for the right calcium. I don't like any of the chewables that I've tried.

I'm down a little over a pound, but I rounded up.

I buy the oscar mayer turkey bacon. Tasty stuff.

I buy the Chobani 12-pack from BJs. The package that I get, comes in blueberry, strawberry, and peach. I use them in my protein smoothies with unflavored protein powder.

Welcome to onederland. Enjoy the ride!

I just got a slight unfill this past Friday. I was way too tight and couldn't eat anything for nearly 2 months. I did lose about 5 lbs during that time while I did a very high protein liquid diet. I can eat now but I'm trying to figure everything out. It feels as if I'm starting from scratch.

Lap-Band for Life by Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I bought this last year from amazon.com

You can go to gnc and try different types of protein. They don't usually carry too many sample sizes, but they do have a very generous return policy. You can buy and try, and if you don't like it, bring it back and try something else. I have tried just about everything at my local gnc and finally settled on isopure zero carb protein drinks in the glass bottles. I like the grape frost flavor. Unjury.com has sample size packets. I personally didn't like the unjury protein though.

Congratulations and good luck on your journey.

I had my surgery one month before classes started and didn't have any issues. Most people are back to fuctioning normally within a week.

Congratulations on your decision to get banded and good luck on your journey.

I love turkey burgers, so I might try this. Thanks!

I'm down 13 lbs. I cannot access the spreadsheet from my phone.

What comes on a greek turkey burger?

I guess it's because I have more pressing things to worry about at this time, that's taking away from my weight loss journey experience.

Just checking in. 30 lbs til goal. I'm not as excited as I should be about it though.

I counted every pound lost as well.

I started walking the day of surgery. I walked about 6 miles. Strenuous exercise continued about 2 weeks post op. No stomach exercises for at leats 6 weeks for me.

I'm over a year out. I've tried collards but haven't tried the blackeyed peas yet. I might just try them this week.

I would kill for some blackeyed peas and greens right now..

Congratulations and good luck on your journey.

It's a great workout. Here's another thread about it here: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/ea-sports-active-personal-trainer-wii-95528/
