June 2007 Bandsters

[LovingWhatIs 0]

I lost a cc of Fluid in my band. My doctor explained that with a new band, that will sometimes happen - it's not leaking it's just absorbed into the device. Don't know if that is what happened to you, but thought i would pass it along.

STEPH...WE'RE WAITING....WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE BAR????????????????????????????????????????

Thanks Loving, but I don't think that's what it is. I've had several fills since my banding in June, and two unfills, to get to this point. Usually, I just roll with the punches, but after my fill on Saturday, I'm just stymied. I had Cereal for Breakfast, no restriction whatsoever. Over the past 5 1/2 months, I've always had restriciton in the morning. I had some rice crackers, no restriction, slowing, nothing. I swear...I could eat a toasted bagel and get nothing. There has to be an explanation. I'm about tempted to fork over the $500.00 to get fluoro.

That bar....Stef....what's that bar called?? Huh? Huh?

That is VERY weird!

Y'ALL are the ones that are funny! "Master with words"? LOL...let's be frank...I'm a sarcastic smart-ass! Thank dog there's only one of me, huh?

Sorry, folks...just signing back on. The bar is called Supreme Protein and the flavor I bought is Quadruple Layer Caramel Nut chocolate. It has a whole lot of stuff listed on the front..."Zero Trans Fat"..."Carb Conscious" (Net carbs are only 6G)..."Only 4G of Sugar"..."30G Protein".

I got it at Max Muscle (Max Muscle Sports & Fitness) but I looked it up online and they are available at so many stores, I couldn't possibly list them all here...but I will tell you I was shocked to learn that 7-11 is one of them! Here's a link to the site and the second one is the page that lists where they are sold. (Apparently this is the only flavor.)

Hey O2B...how you feeling this evening?

And salads are always a great choice. These days I live on salads and fruit and nuts.

Oh, and of course I still do the Protein drinks and I found a FANTASTIC Protein Bar, too, with 30 grams of Protein in it. I have tried so many others and found them to be chocolate dipped sawdust, but these are YUMMY. (They taste like someone added a later of Peanut Butter to a 100 GRAND candy BAR! You should LOVE this one, SUZZZIE!) This new one is awesome and really makes two meals because its so big.

Stef. I hate you that you can eat salad. Lol. Ok, you know I love you... but still. You can eat salad? As in lettuce? I'm so sad!! I MISS salad... Why can I PB on chocolate and have salad slip right on down? HAha. Man, I'd cut off my left pinkie finger for a big ole chicken ceasar salad right about now!! :hungry:

What is that Protein Bar? ? I need it!

OK, didn't binge on chocolate.... but did have a bit of a run in with Blazin buffalo Doritos today. Damnit! :help:

OK. Good news is that I stomped the hell out of the remaining doritos. (I don't eat crumbs). I've already packed my lunch and Snacks for tomorrow, so all is good there. High Protein, low fat and low cal.

OK, and totally UNrelated... My top front 6 teeth hare small and spaced apart. I've always hated my gap-toothed smile. Went to a cosmetic dentist today to discuss veneers. We did photographs and discussedwhitening and stuff. Got to see a computerized pic of myself with pretty touchiing teeth. OMG. But... at $9000 can I afford it?? Heck no! I'm so sad... but I just can't see financing new teeth when I can barely pay all my current bills. Lol. I dunno... I bought a lottery ticket tonight, so lets keep our fingers crossed! If I win the $20 million jackpot I'll fly all of you out to Vegas this Spring! Lol!:whoo:

this was a double post... ignore...

SUZZZIE - Yes, I can eat salads, but I only have lettuce if I eat out...as in a house salad. I do have to chew just like anything else. Mostly, I have spinach salad. LOVE SPINACH SALAD! You may do better with that? What is one more "stuck" to see if it works, eh? LOL Thank goodness I can still eat it...more and more I am finding that is what I would rather have than most anything. Ever been to Ruby Tuesdays salad bar? Absolutely the best quality, freshest, widest variety salad bar I've ever seen. I think I am turning into a rabbit!

Hey, yes! With your chocolate addiction, you have GOT to try that Protein bar! DEE-LISH! Their site says it is sold at 7-11...I'm assuming those are everywhere? I'm checking my local 7-11 tomorrow.

I can also eat salad. Especially very crunchy raw stuff. Thank goodness as I don't eat meat.< /p>

salad is what makes the tough stuff go down for me. When I had restriction, a little bite of food...a bite of salad....a little bite of food.....helps the medicine go down...the medicine go dowwwwn!!

I agree about the lettuce. I have no problem with it at all. I like to by the shredded lettuce. Seems a lot easier to get down than big pieces of lettuce.

Stef,

You are absolutely right!!!! The Supreme Protein Bars are DEE-LISH-US!!! They are sooo tasty....Here are my questions:

1. They are huge...Do you eat an entire bar at one time?
   
2. Do you use it as a meal replacement or a snack? I bought the carb-conscious
   1. 
      
   2. 360 calories
      
   3. 16g fat
      
   4. 300mg fat
      
   5. protein 30g

I have been able to eat about 3/4 and I feeling a little full....THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIP!!!!

:whoo:Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted, but I wanted to share my exciting news. I am officially a resident of "onederland". I screamed when I weighed myself this morning. I've been stuck for a few weeks and FINALLY the darn scale moved. I still need to change my stats on profile. I never thought I'd be so excited about weighing 198 pounds.
