Beautiful post! Congratulations!!!

I have been banded for almost 2 years and I still have issues with eggs and meats like sausage. "Bandolina" also doesn't like milk products or steak, even filet mignon! You'll learn what works and what doesn't as you go along. Good luck!

Wonderful! Congratulations!!!!

I should have checked this earlier! 2 posts above this (thank you jayres14!) is the recipe, except she used romaine lettuce instead of sweet pea sprouts. It is actually quite tasty. It makes about 4-6 ounces and I drink it once a day.

So about a week ago we all found out one of my dear friends has ovarian cancer. While watching "The Revolution" last week, a woman who has beaten thyroid cancer came on and shared her recipe for a juice that she attributes her wellness and cancer free body to. My son got a juicer for Christmas (his favorite present!), and he said "Mom, we can make her that juice every day". My son has known my friend for his entire life, saw my stress and sadness for her, and found a way to to feel useful in an uncontrollable situation. So off to the store we went! I have been bringing her this juice for a few days now and figured I could probably benefit myself from this green goop I was making her drink. I'm not sure if my friend (who had a complete hysterectomy and is preparing for chemo) is feeling the benefits - but I bet her body is responding. What I wasn't expecting was the way my body would respond to this concoction! Day 4 of drinking this juice and I feel like a new woman!!! Since day 2, I awake alert & perky, not sluggish and without energy. Today I had the BEST workout I have had in 10 years! It's like a fog haze has been chased from my head and the old me (me in my 40's) has returned. Now granted, it's just day 4 and my body might just be in shock from all the good stuff I am pumping into it, but who cares! Even if this feeling goes away in a week, I am going to keep up with my magic juice! What will be interesting is if it has any effect on the scale....I will keep you all posted!

You look fabulous! And I can tell from your bright smile that you feel fabulous, too!

Great post! I get it! I still eat "bad" foods, but only a few bites and not 2-3 platefulls!

Hi fellow bandsters! I had another one of those "then & now" moments today while I was out riding my bike. We were at mile 10 when my son asked if we should stop or do 5 more. What's 5 more was my reply! And off we went. Back before Bandolina became part of my body, that was my reaction when I would get on the scale and it was up 5 pounds. Or when I was eating just about anything....never about moving my body! Thought I wouls share!

Love your post! Keep positive!

I love this post!!!! You have done something awesome!!!!

Ditto to Dadkins8. I needed this site when I first started out, but as I figured things out, I needed it less. I still check in and read the blogs of those who have questions and try and give advice if I have some!

My first fill was awful, but it was awful because I spazzed out! I freaked out about the needle and "Bandolina Jolie" reacted to my stress and everything tightened up and they had to remove the fluid. The next time I put all my trust in the nurse, never felt a thing, got filled & left happy! It only took 2 more fills to hit my sweet spot & I have been there ever since. There is absolutely no pain, and as long as they take the filling slow, no throwing up or feeling bad. Good luck to you & keep us posted!

You lookl fabulous! Keep it up and stick to the basics, especially during the holidays!

How about this....God gave us skilled people who can help the flawed. I am totally ok in my faith where I am!
