Sue thanks - what do u use it in just shakes? ?

[IndioGirl55 32]

Wow, you look great Indigo Girl. I love your new picture. :bounce:

Thanks Brenda - I feel so much better - to think i was carrying 4 10lbs bags of potatoes around before - no wonder i took the elevator instead of the stairs...:faint: Now I only take the stairs...:bounce:

I havent exercised this week just on Monday - Loaded my ipod with a couple new songs - was thinking about down loading a book - but i don't know if that would keep me motivated??

Hi - so far the only thing I've used the Protein powders in is Water, Crystal Light and sugar free pudding. I'm not too adventerous when it comes to experimenting.

Another thing I like to add flavors to drinks is the sugar free syrups. My favorite is raspberry that I add to Lemonade. I found the syrups in the coffee aisle at Woodman's grocery store.

I recently found in the cold cuts section, ready packaged Snacks for toddlers I'm thinking. It had turkey, mozzarella cheese and mini Ritz crackers. Calorie total was 130 and 8 gm of protein. Perfect for taking to work. They come 2 per pack and cost a little over $2.

Wow, Sue, I love that idea. I am keeping that in mind so when I get to eat regular food, I will give it a try.

Thanks again Brenda - I did get to the gym Friday & Saturday am doing about a 16 minute mile - did 3 miles each day - One day at a time...

Go for my 2nd fill on Wed - can't wait - i think it will help with the weight loss cuz i can eat about 2 cups of food per meal - it's less than before but I have been working off of willpower alone for the last 2 weeks...

But feeling so much better is such a great motivator... I got up at 6:30 on both Sat & Sun and went all day each day... Before I would have slept one of those days away if not both...

Good luck on the 5th...

I have to agree with you, I had my first fill on Friday, noticed some restriction on Friday and saturday and then back to willpower. But you know, even more so, feeling better IS a great motivator! My clothes fit better, it's easier to walk, I don't get short of breath, I'm off 3 meds since surgery! (yipee!), people notice I've lost weight. So, while it's a struggle once in a while, my "constant reminder" whether the band restriction is where it needs to be or not, IS helping!

A lot of having the band is strictly willpower. When I was tight enough to have real restriction, it was a problem. I hated that there were so many foods I had to give up. It's a very fine line between

having restriction and being too tight.

Right now I am riding on willpower. Ugh! Once my cold goes away and my face lift settles down I am going to get myself filled up again. I have been empty since early August due to acid reflux. :tired I miss my band. blehhhhhhhhhhh! :phanvan

Hang in there, Green!! It's gonna get better SOON!!

[BJean 16]

Green: since my unfill, I'm riding on willpower too. Not too easy either! I'm going to get a fill next week, but this time easy does it! And when you're able I know you'll take it easy too. Gotta baby that reflux.

Sorry you have a cold. How's the lift healing?

[ingyrob 1]

I have been doing it on willpower my dietician says I do not need one because I am still losing weight without one

[carol1951 0]

Forget what the dietician says what does your doctor say. We wouldn't have gotten the band if we could do it on our own with willpower. I would be talking with the doctor.

We do not see our surgeons post op in the UK, unless we have problems.

I feel absolutely lousy but my husband thinks I look fabulous. Go figure, eh. :faint:Green is the Master of Mucus. :heh: blugh!
