Do you know anything about the shakes? When you were on liquids what did you drink? These shakes are full of nutrients and protien without all of the sugar...which is why I suggested to go to the site to reasearch for yourself. They do help and if the can help other bandsters like they help me....then why not.

Dont like the topic......get off of the forum....plain and simple. I see weight watchers all over the place as well....are you complaining about that?

They are healthy shakes, they taste great and they work good with the lap-band. I know because I have a lap band and I drink the shakes. The shakes are a good for meal replacements and they are loaded with vitamins and minerals.

I totally agree! They taste so good!

Anyone use Body By Vi? I was banded November of 2008 and the Vi shakes are awsome. My weight started to creep back up and they are awsome for meal replacements and are loaded with nutrients. They would also work for anyone thinking about getting banded and need to lose weight before surgery, and right after surgery when you are on liquids. If your interested..go to my website www.sabrinamahupete.bodybyvi.com! You can also call me with any questions! The lapband and Body by Vi go hand and hand!

DD- I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I will keep your family in my prayers. When I started on this website in November of '08 you kept me motivated. You seemed to take the band seriously and never let the setbacks that you have had stop you from striving to reach your goal. Please dont let this family situation get you off track. I know it is hard to lose a loved one but you have come to far with your weightloss to stop! I know you can do it! You ALWAYS have! Princess- My parents divorced after being married for 31 years. My mom took that opportunity to look within herself and get happy! I know its hard but you must look out for you. Dont sabbatoge your weightloss. The heavier you get the harder it will be to dig yourself out of the hole. I hope you enjoyed your vacation!! In January a friend of mine and I decided that we were going to try to become runners. The first time we went to they gym neither of us could run at 4.0 for more than a minute. Today I can run a mile at 4.0 without stopping. We do a race everymonth. This month we have a 5k that we will do. Although we wont be able to run the whole thing I am glad we will get out there and try. And when we cross the finish line it feels soooo good! I have lost about 13lbs since January and I cant wait to see what the future holds! Since I had the setback with the pregnancy I feel like I am so far behind but I am thankful for this site and all of the encouraging words everyone always has. Talk to y'all soon!

OK....Im back! I got pregnant 2 months after I got banded last november! I had a beautiful baby girl and I didnt gain any weight during the pregnancy (my baby is perfectly healthy)! Im am ready to get back on the grind and start losing weight again. I go in for a fill tomorrow and I can start working out again in January. I can actually start working out now but they daycare at the gym wont watch my daughter until she is 3 months old. I am so glad to see everyone doing will on this thread. I will be logging in at least once a week for encouragement and to track my weight! I am happy to be back. PS....I am smaller than I was before I got pregnant so I know this band is gonna we my saving grace in this weightloss journey!!! Happy weightloss all!

I havent been on this forum in a long time. I am 7 months pregnant so I was discouraged about the whole thing. Im glad to see everyone is doing so well. My baby is due on September 21, 2009 and I cant wait to get back to the gym after that. The good thing is I havent gained 1 pound. And the baby is growing just fine.....so I guess there is light at the end.....

OMG you made me tired just reading this!!!:wink:
