I still drink the Protein shakes because I was getting stuck at plataue's, I was in the 250's for over a month even though I was exercising everyday. Also in the mornings, most time's my band just won't tolerate solid food unless it's watery oatmeal, and that gets tired quickly. I think I will try to keep the meals at 30mins or under, depending on the meal. meats take longer of course, and get stuck the most. But they have the higher protein levels. I eat alot of tuna, and crab. Thanks so much for your input, it's greatly appreciated. It's nice to have other bandsters to talk to. Happy Holidays Everyone, Mark 322/240/200 7/22/2006

Hi everyone, I'm 4 1/2 months post op, I'll usually drink 1 Protein shake and eat two meals, or two shakes and one meal. The meal is usually between 4-6oz. I take my time eating it, between 1/2 an hour to an hour. Is this to long? I think I might be eating so slow, that the pouch is actually starting to empty and I'm able to add more. What are your thoughts.:help: Thanks and Happy Holidays, Mark

HI, I was banded 7/26/06, in Trenton, NJ. Mark

Hi, B-8oz Nectar Cappacinno Protein Shake L-I will have 1 srambled egg with a slice of cheese D-I plan 3oz grilled salmon w/mango curry, 1/2 oz baby food sweet potatoes.

Ok, I know I'm posting alot:nervous . Just nice to talk find other bandsters, outside of my monthly support group which is great when we meet but very incommunicado otherwise. I go in for first fill on 8/29. It will be 1cc. My band only holds 4cc's so that seems pretty significant. Does seem like I'm in the minority on the boards for July. Not that I mind, your all beautiful women.:biggrin1: Take care, Mark

Thank you Leona06 your info was perfect. By the way, the birthday wish's below are for you! Thank you, Mark

Happy Bithday!!!

Ok, I sorta answered my own question.:rolleyes But I attached it. I noticed no one else's is listed as an attached image. So I still need :help: . Thanks, Mark

Hi Everyone, I was just wondering, how do you post your weight loss ticker to your profile. I 've created mine, but don't know where to place it. I was Banded 07/26/06.

HI, Better get used to decaf, at least for the first several months. You don't want agitate your band. I've tried the International Instant SF Vanilla Creme, and added some Da Vinci coffee flavored sryup. Very good. Also Nectar makes a coffe flavored protein drink. Very good. Hope that helps. Mark

Try the Carb Countdown by Hood, better than any of the Soys, or reg milk. Chocolate too! mmmmmmmmmm
