@ Shadst8... Hey Soror!!:redface:... Its so nice to see one of us on here!!....lol I am soo glad I found this forum!!! I too was begining to loose hope in the band. I am 7 week post op and I've only lost 12 lbs!!! 7 of the 12 was in the 1 week post op so basically Ive only lost 5 lbs in 6 week!! I walk at home at least 3 times a week to Leslie Sansone's DVD ( I love her:thumbup:). I make myself not eat too much although I can eat a whole lot more after 2 fills. I have a 10cc band and im at 5.5 cc. My weight keeps fluctuating up/down 2 lbs. Does or has anyone used unjury?? I just received my order for it last week and have been very hesitant to use it!! The pack is sooo big!! It says to mix it with 8 oz of your favorite beverage and so today I did and I gaged as I tried to drink it!!! Its suppose to be unflavored but it tasted like penicillin to me! Any other uses for it or did I just waste $37.00 of my money?

Sure I would love to be band buddies:thumbup:!!! My starting weight was 243, I was 239 on surgery day, and so far i've only lost 12lbs:frown:. My goal weight is 160-170ish. Im a lil disappointed that I havent lost more than that seeing that I lost 7 of the 12 the 1st week post op and 5lbs 1 month post op so now im at 227!! It seem as though thats where I am stuck... and the scale fluctuates 1-2 pounds up/down:sad:

Hello all! I just purchased some unflavored Unjury and am quite shocked at how much is in the packs!!! Do you guys use the WHOLE pack in one serving? For example the ones who posted that the unflavored is good in mashed potatoes, what is the serving size of the mashed potatoes and do u use the whole pack in it? I am very leary of opening all these packs i've just purchased....lol Also, when you mix the unflavored powder in liquids how many ounces do u mix it with and will the powder change it into a thick consistency?

W:ohmy:W Myskinnydream that is great!!! What did u do to loose that much weight so quickly? Do u still go to T.R. for your fills?

Hello!!! I am a True Results Houston patient!! :eek:

Hi amwash23!!! Thanks for replying! Im new to this forum and also newly banded. (March 10, 2010).

Thanks Ladies for all of your responses and warm welcomes !! I hope no one has to ever go thru what i've been thru.. @crystal525... I do believe I am at my "sweet spot" now.. I think:confused:. @battlekat1970.. Thanks for that suggestion. I think ill start taking a pain medication before i go in for a fill and afterwards. The bruising and pain after is horrible!

Hey all!, I was banded on 3/10/10. I had my 1st fill on last week 04/06/10 and it was sooo :eek:PAINFUL!! My Dr. had a difficult time finding my port even while using an ultrasound. He was able to see it (slightly) but he just couldnt access it. So after being "pressed" on and "poked" for what seemed like 100 times for 30 minutes, he finally sent me to radiology to have my fill using a fluoroscope. I was "supposedly" filled with 5cc by the radiology Dr. and I was in pain for like 2 days after that experience. I wasnt feeling any restriction so I went again on yesterday 04/12/10 for my 2nd fill and the same thing happened except with less pokes this time....Come to find out when the radiology Dr. did my 1st fill 2cc leaked back out when he extracted the needle (and I felt it run down my side) and I wasnt at a full 5cc. I believe I was at 3.5 or somewhere around there. My Dr. did the fill this time and he assured me that there is 5.5cc in there. Has anyone else had a problem with a hard to locate low profile port?? With 2 painful FILL experiences I am not at all excited :thumbup: about going in for my fills!!!!

Where can I purchase this UNFLAVORED PROTEIN POWDER??
