like my nutrionist told me last week this is a 2 year process so be patient.. have you had your first fill yet??? the Doctor was real surprised at my diet!!..my new favorite friends are applesause, sugar free Jello, and sugar free pudding cups...mix and match these with a little piece of meat(about 2 oz) or so and you have a means for your body to drop lb's....for Breakfast I can eat 2 strips of bacon with the whites from 2 eggs and no bread...also I am drinking 6/8 bottles of Water a day...make sure you take your vitamen's as I take the baraitic advantage pills and get all the nutriant's my body needs to lose weight....this is a big lifestyle change for me but the energy I seem to have now is unbelieveable....as far as snaking it's usually a pudding or jello.. good luck

got my first fill of 4 cc on april 16..2009 down about 38 lbs or so in 7 weeks...not too bad...my clothes are starting to get real loose now...might have to breakdown and buy some smaller clothes...yippeeeee

hello again, have not posted in about a month or so...get my first fill on this thursday 16april...I am down to about 253 lbs...kinda hanging right at this level for a couple of weeks now....actually looking forward to first fill so I can go back on liquid diet for 3/4 days to drop another 10 lbs or so I hope....later....

hey everyone, got my first Dr. visit tommorow and have not lost much since i started on real food...have been tempted to go liquid for a couple of days to see if I can jump start my loosing again...hanging about 28 lbs lost in 2 1/2 weeks...not bad but I want more...I do enjoy a hamburger(at least half of one...lol) with applesauce and diet jello....yummy.....in the tummy..... took my wife to the casino's today and she had to have the buffett....really hard to go there but we did...had a slice of ham(small) some applesauce and a yogart ice cream(very little) and paid 10.00dollars for this stupid pleasure...why can't buffets give us a break and then I would not mind bringing my family there more often but hate paying for something I can't eat....

have not posted for about 5 days so I thought I would catch up a little... I have stalled about 28 lb loss in 3 weeks time now...I am eating very little but have only lost a couple of pounds the last 3/4 days...should I go back on shakes for a couple of days to kick start my losing again??? I feel better and seem to have more energy but still can't get much motovated this week....1st Dr. visit come this thursday and am really interested to see what he says and where I should be at this point....I am not eating bread but love the heck out of applesauce and diet jello....lol

great going from Thornton Co.....had my surgery on the 23feb and I am down about 28 lbs and am loving it...have good days and bad days but it sure is nice to get on scale and see some movement for sure...keep it up...

Has any one tried to eat popcorn.....went to the movies today and my wife asked if I could eat popcorn and I just did not know if I should try a little or not so I did'nt.. I would assume it would mush down but not sure on kernals???? has any one tried it??????

Morning all....down another couple of lbs since yesterday...gonna start eating real food this morning...egg whites and a piece of bacon..and some 2pct milk....all I have to do now is learn to chew...chew ...chew....10 days in and down to 262.7 lbs....down 1 belt notch on the belt...how sweet is is...I know at some point this is gonna stall but hey....bring it on....I'm pumped....

hello everyone....god it's nice to sleep all thru the nite....had to take a small hit of insulin yesterday as I was over 335 blood glucose levels...got me down to about 150 and I was very comfortable there... trying to drink alot more water to keep hydrated...really makes a differance in how I feel....as long as my blood pressure stays around 80 on the lower nmbr or so I am going to try to walk again today...my lower nmbr has been low and I have felt like crap at times. well it's time to go have a shake....later

the pain will go away.......make sure you drink water....drinking the proteen shakes will dehydrate you if you don't keep at the water....keep us posted and how you are doing

Figured something out this weekend which is a good lesson for me...what you used to be able to eat or drink may not stay the same. I ran out of broth this weekend and the minute I stop making broth my diareah cleared up...never had this type of problem before but now I realize it was the broth the was not agreeing with me and made me so uncomfortable all thos days last week when I dare not leave the house for fear of an accident...lol So a big lesson was learned by me and today now 7 days in I am starting to feel good... on a side note I am down a couple of more lbs this AM...ttl of 23 lbs dropped this last week....yooo hoooo

Crystal light is great but too expensive...I use the wal mart brand which is 1.88 per can verses 4.00 dol a can...and it's just as good...

Good morning every one...still playing around with the loos bowel movements...becomming my friend...not..... I just tried some v8 juice and it went right thru... talked to a body builder friend of mine and we talked about the proteen dinks I am using....he said these drinks will make you dehydrate so keep drinking the water or you will get lite headed etc. I guess this is why I was not feeling so good after drinking a proteen shake as it was dehydrating me and I was not drinking enough water.....I have lost now almost 21 lbs since last monday but I realize it is just water...but ya gotta start somewhere...At least I don't feel as bloated anymore. As to the ginger ale...stay away from carbonated drinks totally.........since today is the 7th day I think I am going to start my walking program as I am starting to feel like I may have a little more energy now. every one have a great sunday and I will check back in later.

I was banded last monday and took my last insulin on last Saturday......I took 4 massive shots of over 80 units a day...on my liquid diet I am staying around 200 blood gulcuse with very little excercise yet....should start going down as I get more active....the Dr. says that 75 pct of bander who are diabetic will be totally off of insulin if they watch themselves....so far so good.
