Scooby Doo 1 Posted May 12, 2010 hi scooby how is your weighloss going,all you latest bandsters will have to get tickers up lol:tongue_smilie: Hi Wannabe Its official I have reached "bandster hell" my weight loss has stopped completely - I lost 16lbs in first 2 weeks and not lost or gained anything since, now almost 9 weeks post op. Was meant to get first fill in April but it was cancelled due to the bloody volcano so now go next week for it - fingers crossed. that should then get me on the road to weight loss hopefully otherwise I have wasted thousands of pounds aarrgghh....... How are you feeling about getting yours done, you will be fine and honestly it is nothing to worry about - easy for me to say i know but the level of care is fantastic and you are really looked after.

Next one on 27/05 can't wait as really wanna see a difference. Need to plan my food a bit better too, and I'm thinking Protein Shakes might be the way to go again for a while. Keep up the good work xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What Protein Shakes are you on - they are obviously working well for you I have got something stuck just once and omg i thought I was dying - never want to experience that ever again Take Care Kerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately if you read labels you will see that slimfast has very little protien compared but has a hell of a lot of carbs/sugar which gives it the nice sweet taste, take away the sugar and the calories are very low in slimfast therefore no real nutritional value, just a fad gimmick, god i could go on for hours on this topic.

sussie 0 Posted May 12, 2010 Hi guys just reading the last few post concerning protien drinks and was wondering when i get to proper food (still on liquids yet) is this something i should be drinking regular or is it just a choice you've made. I find most of them kinda sweet and a bit sickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karob 0 Posted May 12, 2010 Can anyone tell me if they felt cold all the time after being banded? I am normally the one, that as soon as the sun comes out, out comes the vest and flipflops. I just can't seem to get the heat into me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
