hey chris, what is tri?... i was banded on 6/26/08 and have lost 41lbs. however i keep getting stuck... platues suck...what to do what to do... Start/ Current / Goal / Drs Goal 338 297 200 175

I went to a seminar with inemed... the manufacturer of the band and they told us the reason for not allowing soda is that when it hits the stomach it inflates it....which could make the band slip up towards the esophagus....

:shades_smile:For the first time in i dont know how long i am 300lbs.... yea haa.. I got to tell you i dont credit the band.. i credit the woman on this site that keep me motivated.... Kelgirl, lauren,kat,lil miss,zengurl,mi,happy... you are all great people and keep me honest.. thanks so much... I am now walking everyday and i expect to be 185lbs in no time...My next goal is 285 by 8/25/2008... 15lbs in 27days will be hard for me considering how much ive lost already in a short period of time(38 lbs). I now and on week 6 of my journey and the hardest thing i encounter is contipation.. i just wish i could get that back into a rythm then i could surely lose a lb a day.

I was banded on June 26th 2008. I feel great after about the 3rd day i had no pain. I am down 25lbs and saw the doc for my follow up yesterday and he gave me a clean bill of health. I go in on the 22nd of july for my first fill. I am still not hungry and i am having trouble getting in all the liquids. i cant wait until friday i can go to the mushies.. i see a scrambled egg on the horizon. I am using the Protein shots instead of the shakes. i like them better and they contain more protein for less calories... look them up on the internet "NU Whey" protein shots or you can get them at GNC.
