Thats very cool Missy!!

I was going to go with him, but he was backed up a few months for people with insurance... or so the rumor went anyway. Lol. It all worked out, I totally love where I go.

Ingy--I don't have a bodybugg--I just wanted to say that it's good to see you posting again...Keep up the good work--your weightloss is amazin!!!!!

Thanks for your kind words Bigbaby.

I am slowing up a bit with the weight loss now. I have had one fill 6 mls in an I don't know what size band. I have been given details of my band but not the the size of it. There are small and large Inamed bands and I suspect it is a large one as I had the 6mls all in one go and I note from lots of posts that you guys are having much smaller amounts in your fill, and more often. To be fair I have been away on holiday for 10 weeks so might have had more fills if I had been at home.

I am going to have another fill shortly, I am awaiting an appointment through the post. We are different to you in the UK, we have to speak to the dietician and she decides if we can have a fill or not. We can steer her/him in the right direction if you know what I mean.

Good luck with the rest of your weight loss. We can do it can't we?

SUZZIE AND STEF---OMG...OMG...OMG!!! I went and purchased some silk light chocolate soy (it pours like water...but taste like "good")...I made a pb chocolate Protein Shake (I had vanilla Protein powder)...it is good..good...good!!!!!

[Suzzzie. 3]

Yay Big Baby!! lol. I LOVE choc soy milk. The reg and vanilla is good too, but the chocolate rocks! Of course, I never just 'drink' it by itself... I ONLY use it for shakes every morning!

[bigbaby 4]

what kind of Peanut Butter do you use?

[TexasFire 84]

BigBaby - Yeah! So glad you liked it! Now you know a great way to get at least one big Protein kick! LOL

Regarding Peanut Butter, I use a brand called "Naturally More...What Peanut Butter Should Be". It is all natural, is fortified with flaxseed and flaxseed oil, contains Omega-3's and Omega-6's...and tastes fantastic!

[bigbaby 4]

Does it taste as good as Skippy or Jiff?

[TexasFire 84]

Well, it's different. I prefer it, but I also tried two or three other natural Peanut Butter brands before this one. (The others were kind of "icky". LOL) This one tastes like you made it at home. I love Skippy, not so much with JIF...but they are so not good for you. (HFCS)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Speaking of HFCS...I was at Jason's Deli last night and was reading the table sign. They have eliminated all trans fats and MSG from their entire menu...nothing astounding there as most places have. But it said that next was to eliminate High Fructose Corn Syrup from their entire menu! What a challenge! Have y'all heard of any other places doing this yet?

Thats awesome Stef! I LOVE how health conscience people are starting to get! I think it's great that food pplaces are FINALLY getting the picture that they annot continue to 'supersize' us!! If they kill us all off with heart disease and obesity and diabetes, cancer, etc... they will have no one left to buy their product!

Big Baby! As for Peanut Butter - I use an all natural organic one... But I think it has coconut oil in it to create the smoothieness... which I read somehwere is bad for you... So I might start looking for that stuff STef uses.

I heard to TV, so not sure if true, but France does not allow high frutose corn Syrup in anything. I buy store brand bread for my family and I just recently read the ingredients to find out that it has hfcs in it. I was pretty upset about it. I tried to find a bread that didn't have it in it and I think I must of went through about a dozen loaves before finding one. Of course that loaf of bread was $3.49 and the store brand that i usually buy is 50 cent a loaf. So I guess you get what you pay for. I just annoyed me because I know if I bake bread at home it wouldn't have hfcs in it, but who has time for that. So anyway sorry for the long post but hopefully we can become a healthy country and get rid of hfcs.
