Turbo Fire is great, but personally for toning and losing I prefer Chalean Extreme.

My name is Desiree and I'm 3 years Post Op from the Lap Band Surgery. While the Lap Band was a positive thing for me, the weight loss is primarily due to exercise and careful dieting. I've been though a lot of diets and now knows what works for me! I host a Lap Band Fitness Support Group every month in Moreno Valley for the Riverside County and Orange County areas. You're more than welcome to come and share and listen in. We had fun at our March session! It's encouraging to meet and talk about our experiences and keeps us on track. Contact me for info and I hope to meet you soon! Thanks, Desi

I was experiencing AWFUL YUCKY Wake me up out of a deep sleep reflux! It was the WORST as I would have to practically run to the bathroom with my hand under my mouth in case I let up Fluid from my pouch. This all changed last week when I started taking Shakeology! Knock up one more good thing about this drink!

Sudden addition to peanut butter ? ? ?
Desiree1970 replied to Barb119's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Good LORD me too!!! I started drinking Bariwise's Tropical banana Protein and I mix it with a generic vanilla whey protein (total 30 grams of protein) I usually mix it with non fat milk, but today I mixed it with Almond Vanilla milk--YUMMY! Add a few ice cubes and a Tablespoon of peanut butter and OMG... it reminds me of Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream :sneaky: -
And there are green teas that are without caffeine. My favorite is Jasmine Green Tea by Foo Joy!! It does NOT need sweetener and is delicious!!! I brew it up and keep it in the fridge and drink all day :smile2:

I love Hip Hop Abs! I started using it two years ago and 90 lbs later....not bad huh?
-
That was happening to me, until I started to keep drinking 100+ oz water and keep a min of 70 grams of protein a day and added exercising 6 days a week. Any gain I see is minimal and it's muscle wich burns fat, so win win :smile2: I do Hip Hop Abs so it's also almost not exercising and more like dancing

Desiree1970 replied to ldsparnell's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
they're not totally bad, but it's only like a shot too:smile2: also try the soups, and entrees etc from Bariatric Choice... I use they're product, and I have a Shakeology shake every day...

Protien Shakes (Warning: Maybe TMI)
Desiree1970 replied to TN_girl21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ewwww Protien diarrhea is the worst! I was drinking Atkins shakes in the morning cos it's quick on the drive to work, but I always got several miles from my office and I was crampin up:eek: so I totally understand. But lately I've been having a chocolate Shakeology shake and no tummy problems! No tummy problems means a happy Desi! LOL! Plus I have such a boost of energy! Red Bull and Starbucks has nothing on Shakeology! LOL!
