I need to know what are some of the best protein shakes, to keep weight loss going!!!!!, the ones that really work!!! What kind is best for you and, how many grams of protein, and price avg. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

which one do you use? and how many times per day, and what are the benefits have you been losing with this protein( cause i know Protein plays a very important part in our weight lost).

I have been using a scale that is vey good and accurate. It is a homedics scale beige in color, it looks like a heavy piece of ceramic tile. I have had it for about 5years and works wonderfully, it is sometimes maybe a lb off, very close to professional scales. It range from about 50 dol or below depending on store, or coupons used. i bought mine from bed bath and beyond for cheaper, but you may be able to get one at www.homedics.com or online. it is 59.99 there free shipping and the model number is sc-475. I hope this helps, i love my scale. thanks Tina

sugar free, cherry kool aide is really good!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that these are good work out tools, since i love music and always work up a sweat when doing the songs in a row. I use them everyday too add to my weekly workouts. plus there fun and dont feel like exercise. just dance 2 is my favorite!!!

I was banded 3/15/2011 along with a hernia repair. I was told initally that I would be back to work in about 6 weeks. I usually work about 140 to 160 hours every two weeks, between my two full time positions, which one i will be working way less due to, family care, kids etc. I went in to hurley after two weeks for follow up appointment and they said i was doing fine and could return to work on 3/11/2011 after Surgeon reviewed my paperwork, well i called for a week straight and got no response about paperwork to return to work, now im told dr. over looked paperwork, and now i have to wait it out, for 6 whole weeks. after follow up appointment i called my director and told her that i was coming back they re arranged schedule to put me in. and now i have to tell them to redo entire schedule again. it is hard to find re[placements in the medical field, especially at the small facility i work at. I AM SO P********************d off, hope i still have a job. This place is starting to seem to be very unproffessional to me!!!!!!!

That is Horrible, I hate that, this happened to you!!!, I wish you much success,this time around. I hope your appointment goes well. I am excited about my first fill coming up this week. Let me know how everything turns out and Good Luck!!!

@shirley, i saw him (dr. kirlavich) briefly after my surgury, dont know much about him, I have heard that he is good though. AND my surgeon was Dr. Pharhan, I think he is good as well, but the way that some of the staff is handling these issues are to me, totally unproffessional. I shouldnt have to let my staff down at my jobs, because of there errors and mishalfs. ALSO I was originally suppose to go to ford, but insurance approved me to go to hurley so how was your experience there in detroit????

Thank you!! I am driving down there tomorrow which is almost an hr dive from where, i live to get to the bottom of this!!

thanks everyone, i feel better and will keep working at it. thanks Tina

I was banded on march 15, 2011 and has gained a lb back, i am very confused right now, scared and not knowing what to expect. I do what they tell me, i even called dietician for more advice. now i am going back to preop diet again to get some more off quickly. the solid thing is not working for me right now. i havent received my first fill yet and im already up a lb. did i mention i have been excercising like crazy, someone please help me to understand, what is going on. I am devestated

I found it hard for first three, days. but after that it got much easier, mine consisted of 5 Protein shakes, per day one fruit punch and any sugarfree coolaid, or zero cal beverage. 2 cups of raw vegetables like brocoli, and one light yogurt. I found my self dipping in and out but, with help from the girls who had already done it, they were my boost to help me get through.

Thats great!!!!!!!!!!, i started pre-op diet feb 28th and was banded march 15,2011.

i really hope it will get easier for me, I have just began, havent received first fill yet and has not loss much weight, I am thinking gabout going back to protein drinks to boost my weight loss again this is scary, cause im scared i will gain.

I just got so emotional reading this, because I felt the same way, as soon as I woke up, I was asking am I banded. But i was in alot of pain because, I had hernia repair, but i am also very happy and thankful. ALSO my port is in that same location slightly above and to the left of my belly button. I am intrested in knowing what diet do they have you on, and did you lose any weight with pre-op diet and that. I wish you much success, please keep in touch and let me know your progress. thanks tina
