If you are asking about portion size on Protein shakes, it's 1 cup. But when you blend it with ice it looks huge.

I had the same problem at my old job. I too did some snooping one day and found a similar letter. What I did is I told him I needed to sit down and have a conversation with him. I put everything on the table, I didn't tell him about what I had read, but I did say that I had felt some annamosity between us. We talked for about 2 hours and after that, we were great from then on. That's my advice to you. Just tell him you want to talk and just tell him everything you are feeling. I guaratee you it will be the best thing. And this way he won't have to give you this letter and you can explain yourself and feelings to him. Good luck hun and let us know what happens!!

Well I will be adding a chip to my signature...30 days and not 1 cigarette!!! Yeah!!!!!

My incisions felt like paper cuts for a good week. But it will go away. Just hang in there!!

Thanks for the support!!! I hope I can do it!!

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery Kim!! Just remember that everyone here on LBT is always here for you!!

Congrats on your weight loss!! I am a new bandster just trying to get used to the whole thing. I haven't had a fill yet, but I really feel restricted as it is. Good luck on your new goal!!

Don't fret hun!!! Maybe your body just needs a little more time to adjust. You will start to loose alot of weight and every pound that you loose, will just boost your confidence!! Hang in there!!!

Very wierd, I just checked it out. She said she had a computer body, not fit for a band. Ha ha ha. Very strange!!

Thankyou very much for the kind words. It has gotten a little easier, but I am sure once I get on mushies I will be ok. I am just really tired of all the cream Soups and liquids. But I see my doctor tomorrow so we will see if I get to move forward. Thanks again for your encouragement hun!!!

Hello everybody. Well I had my very first emotional breakdown today. I thought I was doing just fine, then all of a sudden I started crying really bad and trying to explain to my fiance what was going on in my head. Of course he doesn't understand because he has always been very thin. I was just banded last wednesday but it all started when I realized I couldn't just have him pick up dinner on his way home as we always did. I am so used to just eating whatever I want and not caring about it. And now I am having to choose liquids and other things that are just not appealing to me. Don't get me wrong, I do not regret having this done! I guess I am just getting used to the whole idea of not really having any control over what I eat for right now. Mentally, I want to go to Chili's and have my favorite sandwich in the world! But physically I am not hungry, and don't care what I eat. This really is alot harder than I though it would be. I know that in time it will get easier, but on a day like today when I was at home all alone, everything just started getting to me. I am very happy and excited about making a change and loosing weight, I just never thought I would have such an emotional attachment to food. It's more of a memory thing for me. Alot of good memories I have all include some kind of yummy lunch or dinner. Oh well, I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day! Thankyou all for letting me vent!! Happy holidays to everyone!! (oh and I hate TV commercials!!!!!)

Well good job!! Happy loosing and keep up on the water (my biggest problem)!! I have felt discouraged in the past few days because I haven't lost anything and I am still on liquids. That's why I was asking about the protein shakes. I am not sure what to do to keep it up, but I am sure it will come to me!

Eeeewwww, that's gross!! But it deffinetly makes me feel like I need to stay focused here in liquid land!!!

Oh my gosh Jessi...how did you loose 13 pounds in 5 days?? That's great!!!

Thankyou Shanna...I appreciate it!!

I do not understand why you feel the need to post rude comments in other people's threads??? If you did not like the question or topic, do us all a favor and keep your opinion to yourself. And I was aking for other people's feedback and experience with Protein shakes. Not just putting a question out there for no reason. Calling someone "irresponsible" and saying "shame on you", is totally uncalled for. So I would appreciate if you just leave my post's alone and not comment in them at all!!!!! I don't need your negative attitude. Thankyou!

Thanks J. I appreciate the positive feedback!

I already know that...trying to make some converstaion and get other peoples takes on the Protein shake. Much love, but no thanks!

Thanks Teresa!!! You spell your name just like me!!!

Mmmmmm...sounds yummy!!

Interesting about the straw...my doctor gave me one in the hospital and said "get used to it, your meals will have to go through a straw for the next few weeks!!" I haven't had any issues with it.

Congratulations!!!! That's great! I hope to do just the same thing over the next year. I have already lost 11 pounds so I am well on my way to a new me!!! Keep up the good work and and also keep us informed on your progress!!! Just for the awesome job, you get the dancing banana's... :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana
