wow I'm glad to see that most people like it as I just ordered it today. I had tried the boxing on my sons game and thought it gave a pretty good workout. Now I just hope I can get my husband interested.

ok whats a 5 day pouch test diet?

I too have not been banded yet but agree with you all. I don't fear dying but sure do fear that this won't work and I've failed again. Sometimes I fear that I will miss certain foods but I guess thats not the worst thing that could happen. And maybe thats a good thing lol. I guess you could always smell the foods you crave and maybe take a lick lol. Oh well best of luck to all.

Hi all. My question is how do you know your hypothyroid besides a blood test? Are there any symptoms specific to this? the reason I ask is because I need to lose 13lbs before I can have the surgery and its just not coming off. I've been so bummed that I haven't even got on the scales. I've done clear liquids for 2 days no result, Protein drinks and still no results. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi all. Just to introduce myself. I'm 47, married 27 yrs and have always been overweight. I have lost 70 lbs in the past through LA weightloss. But unfortunately didn't keep it off. :sad_smile:Quit smoking over 1 yr ago and boy did the weight come back, like overnight. I've been here before seeking information in my decision to get the lapband. I've decided this is the way for me to go as bypass is just too drastic for me. Now my problem.. I need to lose 13 lbs before insurance will consider the procedure. I am a nurse working 12 hr shifts, have severe plantar fasciitis & trouble with my knees. This all makes it very difficult to exercise. Not to mention going thru the change which has put my metabolism in the basement. I've been watching my diet but the scales are going no where. Most I've been able to get off is 10 lbs but then regain 3-7lbs. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks from desperate one lol

Thanks Brandy. I've tried liq. diets before maybe I wasn't getting enough protein because I just couldn't make it through a full day and would end up eating solid food. Guess I must try it again.
