I have never done much of the powder mix-ins.... I have tried the muscle milk, the isopure, isolate, soy protein, and designer whey, but I really didn't like them I have alsways stuck with Worldwide Pure Protein drink premixed in a can. I have tried the cookies n creme, banana, vanilla, and chocolate. I have really liked these ones, I even just recently tried there powder to mix with water and milk and found it to be one of the best I have tried.

I haven't posted in a reeeaaalllyyy long time, but I too hit a platuae (sp). I am starting back on track today. I was 282 at banding back on January 14th and now I am at 236 and have been here for about a montha and a half now.... ugh! But I can easily recognize what I have been doing to sabotage myself and I honestly haven't been "actively" trying and havent had a fill since my fourth was done in early May. I am kinda scared though casue I keep reading about people who "stretched thier pouches etc. I am praying I haven't done anything I can't get my self out of :thumbup: Oh well today is a new day and I'm back to trying and working this thing out! Also I wanted to share a tip for those of you that track your food and protein down... I picked up this really awesome notebook at GNC yesterday called the body minder. It is awesome it has a spot for water intake, fat, calories, protein, and carbs... and a bunch of other stuff. I think this will be really helpful anyway best of luck to all!

I haven't posted in a LONG time, but I wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing and say hi! I was banded January 14th and I down 33.5 pounds. I have been stuck at the same with no loss or gain for about three weeks now. I have had 2 fills and go in for my next on Monday the 12th. I think I must be in bandster hell right now, because I still have no restriction... and the scale hasn't budged in 3 weeks... I'm glad it hasn't gone up, but I think I need to get remotivated! Gonna read up a little and work harder! Good luck to everyone!

I thought I had a general idea of what getting stuck would be like.... but now I am getting confused . I don't think it has happened to me, but then again I'm not sure what it would be like. Can anyone who has been "stuck" explain or tell me what it was like for you. I would really appreciate it, I am new at this and trying to relearn all of the eating sensations, etc. Thanks in advance for any help !!

I have been wondering the same thing!

While I was waiting and doing all the pre-surgery stuff I used to watch Sky moon's videos.... they would give me so much hope! I too look forward to her posts!

Easter Challenge Anyone?
jka81 replied to mrsgriffin2u's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was freshly banded on the 14th and would also love to join the Easter challenge! Great idea May I sign up with you guys? Good luck to all! -
I am doing a lot better today...i get tired really easily, but that is to be expected. What book are you refering to? It is strange, but my doctor/hospital really didnt provide a lot of post op info. Just said full liquids 1/2 cup at a time...didnt say how often. I am assuming that I still need to get close to the 64 oz. total? (I'm no where close to that...I'm doing good to get 32 if I add in my soups etc) The gas pains are much better...still there, but better. My hubby is back to work today, so I am flying solo. No socks for me today! LOL! I, oddly enough have been sleeping well and have only taken one dose of the pain medicine they sent me home with. I found that it made me feel worse when i finally woke up. Good to hear you are doing well...and I hope your sleep gets better. I have until next monday until I have to be back at work, so I hope to be back to my "normal" self by then!

Things People Pass Off For Compliments and Things Skinny People Say That Piss You Off
jka81 replied to j_war06's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I loved reading these posts! I also have about a million that I could add, most of which are the ones that are directly said to you or supposed to be for your own "good". I am glad to see I am not the only one with th mom issues lol. My family ( my mom dad and younger brother) called me "big girl world" forever.... it sucked. My mom is small and always has been, plus she is always on some health kick... Fiber bars, exercise bootcamp, etc. I would always combat her "compliments" or "advice" by asking if the toast she had today was delicious or not. She pulls out pics of me back in high school or when I met my husband and I was pretty thin sz 11 ( for me was small), and always has to be like, "you were so pretty, huh". I always wanna go yep that's what bulimia will do to ya huh, at least my breath doesn't smell like vomit anymore! I have a funny one though from a second grader at the school where I work. - A couple years back we were collecting cans for our habitat at school so I hauled in a large bag full of crushed cans that I had been collecting for a while. The kids were amazed by the large amount I had brought in (grade level who brings in most pounds every month gets a popcorn party), and one little boy that usually has good manners umps up and says, " Wow that's why you're so fat cause of all that soda! You drink too much soda." I was so embarrassed and didn't even know what to say, I did want to say , "well they aren't soda cans they are beer cans from my husband, and the cokes are diet so there!" But of course I just stood there in shock and later reminded the class of good manners and not being rude to others. -

Good Luck Kelly! Long bay... I had band on the 14th and am doing the vitamins and the protien shakes. I have found that the shakes I have been using really do help, I like the worldwide protein drinks.

Hi,
Well I woke up again, keep having trouble staying asleep, and decided to look at the boards. Just wanted to say hi and check on ya to see how you were doing. I am still going smoothly along except for a small bout of nausea earlier, but I think it was due to having too much sugar grams in the tea I was drinking. I guess that's what I get for getting tea from restaurant and not checking grams like it says to in the book lol. Anyway hope things are going good and that some of that gas pain is going away.... my husband has now also called me jealous of his ability to release gas lol.
Take care :smile2:

Okay sudden wave of nausea... are you serious! Somebody please make this go away Too much sugar in my drink?? I can't think of anything else that might have done this. Anyone else going through this?
