I bought some directly from www.seapointfarm.com I like the Goji Blend the most.

Well the obvious question is, how much did you lose with the band. That can sometimes be indicative of how you will do on the sleeve.

It is the sweet version of soy Beans. You can order the dry roasted stuff, and eat it like peanunts or the frozen stuff is usually in the health food freezer section. It is a great way to get Protein in.

I can eat a quarter cup of dry roasted and be full for 2 to 3 hours. I like the fresh frozen stuff as well, but I do hate how it goods cold really, really quick, when I'm eating.

Or you can just cut out the grehlin completely....LOL But it is interesting. I wish I would control my fat intake better, but I don't. I struggle to just balance my carbs and Protein, and to try and keep the protein above the carbs. I have noticed that Edammame, dry roasted, is an excellant way to do this, and you get full very easy.

I am also sorry to hear about your dad. On a positive note, the airlines, and their rotten service are what give someone like me a job. I think they will credit you eventually, if it is a major. If it is a feeder, or regional, all bets are off.

Speaking of dumb pills. Whenever a discussion of diet pills comes up, you get the "fastin" add out on the side. Just to be clear, this is NOT prescription Fastin. It is in reality just a caffeine pill, and some other useless stuff. Real prescription fastin, is a proprietary formulation of phentermine.

Wow!!! That is a lot. I think I will try to read them all....just kidding!!!!

I know that their are times that my wife will tell me that some woman is flirting with me. I honestly, don't ever think in these cases the woman is, but she say's it is because I'm stupid and dense. I am honestly, more careful about these situations now since she told me, because my wife is smart and it is better to be safe then sorry. I have no desire or interest in anyone other then my wife and I wouldn't want to accidently lead someone on, and I wouldn't even want to be in a situation like the one your husband is in now. I frankly, think he is just not being careful enough about what things can turn into, or how they can look. Or he is like me, and he needs you to fill him in on the reality of how things can happen. Either one is bad for a relationship.

Hey, we are seeing a trend of doctors saying the persons body rejected the band. Either it is a brand new phenomena, after 20 years, or it is a brand new excuse for infection that doesn't get the doctor sued as often? I'm not saying which, but it is one or the other.

I wondered why the steering wheel was so much farther away from me. No, my stomach was gone. I have shrunk about .5 inches over the last 20 years. It isn't because my butt changed, I don't have one. Maybe I should have butt inplants!!!! LOL

You aren't going to like this, but at 24 years of age, you don't realistically know what love is really all about. You are most likely more in love with the idea of being in love, then you are actually in love. And it really doesn't matter, because by the time your 30, you are going to be a completely different person. Add on the fact that you are going to be a physically different person, there is no possible way this relationship will last. Quit wasting your time, looking for that love feeling. You most likely are mistaking the initial feelings of a new relationship with the true feeling of long lasting love. The sooner you figure this out the sooner you will move on.

I would guess, about 2.5cc. It would partially depend on the length of your tubing. But my guess is that the protocol from AP was originally to fill the band during sugery, just enough to fill it without creating restriction. They seem to be going away from this as they continue to see the slip percentage not getting any better. I think they just keep trying it differently in hopes of finding a majic way to not have slips. Probably won't ever happen.

If your using the word "diet" to mean that you have to choose certain foods to eat, and choose not to eat bad ones, then absolutely yes, you have to diet. If you mean you by "diet" do you have to use a lot of self control to stop eating so much, then no, you don't have to "diet". That is all it really does for you, and it really only works if you choose foods that don't slide through the band.

It seemed like a lot of bleeding compared to other videos? What else does it show?

I'm telling you, this poster is a troll. He never posts again in response....and this is one of his first posts? If not a troll, a real head case.

Very nice.

My avatar is my actual picture......just kidding!!!!

I can agree with you though. Yes it is adjustable if it gets screwed up, but to call something that gets screwed up as a positive. So yes, if you don't do what your suppose to do, you can get a complete unfill and wait to get the pouch back to normal. I find this argument laughable. WOW, it is adjustable.....LOL

You don't seriously think that your average do you? Heck, I would say, and yes this my opinion, that the average bandster doesn't even do the 30 minutes per day. The average bandster is not doing Marathons. For the average person, it is adjustable, but the only goal is to get to the sweet spot. Not to change the amount that they can eat to work out. That is just simply not realistic. Yes, this is my opinion.

I like the banking bullshit. DID YOU KNOW, you can transport any amount of cash across the border. It is NOT against the law. It is only against the law to not report it. And I don't really think people are actually taking "cash" when they say they are a self pay or cash pay. You must be some kind of tool. You show, you don't know shit about how things really work.

Oh, and if you do this for very long, chances are you will need your gallbladder removed.

Just a side note. If you are working out a lot, not having enough calories will definitely give you less energy to put into the work out. So you may work out for the same amount of time, but the net result is less calorie burn and maybe even less fat loss. If you get enough Protein and you are working out. You can eat very little and still be healthy. But that is the big kicker, if you eat too little your going to be tired and not want to work out as much. If you aren't going to do any physical activity, then you still need the protein, but maybe not quite as much in calories. The problem is the less you eat in calories the more critical the protein, and 1 gram of protein is going to be at best about 10 calories. So lets say you want to starve and eat protein isolate all day. You would really need to eat about 70-90 grams of protein because you don't want your body using muscle for energy. Well, that is already about 700-900 calories.

The bodybugg says it is about 90% accurate. I have found this to be true. But, I have found it to be almost always 10% hi on its total. I think they make it a little too sensitive because people aren't as likely to become frustrated.

I rest my case!!!!!!!!! Wouldn't it have been better to have been properly restricted without problems and fills? Adjustable!!!!!! What a marketing farst. Adjustable because it doesn't start out doing anything in the beginning, doesn't seem like a real benefit, when you realize it is just a marketing thing.
