BBK how did you know what I needed? I am so up for this. I will be buying some Protein tomorrow. Because I have a lot of preparing to do for this I am going to start on thursday. However I will be back at the gym on monday.

Part of my epic stall has been due to not properly preparing for the inevitable hunger. I am going to plan this final push to goal out carefully.

Thanx for this post, I am ready to continue what I started with this band.

And some PBing on that crow, perhaps? :tongue_smilie:

Oh the hilarity! :)

I will start today. I was only 1.5 pounds from losing my goal of 80 pounds before the new year. I have gotten off track and gained 2 pounds. So I have 3.5 to lose in just a few days.

Good luck to everyone.

WOW, this is just what I needed. I'm an older bandster banded in July of 07. I didn't necessarily fall off the bandwagon, but a terrible fall in May of this year has really taken a toll on my excercising, and my eating habits. I'm still down 60 pounds, I think, haven't been on the scale in a while to see, but I need to lose about another 25 pounds to goal.

If you all don't mind I'd love to join this thread, and I'm thinking of starting liquids today, no time like the present to give me a jump start and try to get in as much activity as I can.

This is not easy, and we all still struggle here and there, it's just nice to know that even after a year and a half I can still come back to Lapband talk and get the support I need to get back on track in the new year.

Thanks to everyone here, and best of luck to all of us in the new year.:tongue_smilie:

Ok ladies, so I've updated my ticker, and my weight. I've went up 7 pounds since my last post, probably in June of this year, but that's ok. I'm back on track and heading in the right direction again.

Luluc, I usually just have the chocolate peanutbutter, but the cheesecake pudding sounds really good too. I'll have to try it.

What kind of pudding mix do you use and is it sugarfree?

I just use Water with my chocolate Protein Powder, and add ice and peanutbutter. How many calories approximately does your 8 oz shake have?

Thanks for the recipe, and about being honest- well, if I can't be honest here with all of you, then I can't be honest with myself either, so it's a start for me, and thanks!

Lynette

I'm in. I am sick and tired of not losing the way I want to. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that I am losing. I just know that I could be doing so much better. I am going to get my unflavored Protein after work. Which unflavored protein powder is REALLY unflavored?

i use jell-o sugar free cheesecake pudding mix.

the shake is approx 240 calories, which may be high - however they hold me a good 4+hrs.

just made a butterscotch one with vanilla soy Protein & jell-o SF butterscotch pudding mix. i get bored w/shakes so i have to mix them up a bunch.:tongue_smilie:

Sounds great, and the calories aren't bad at all. My shakes end up being 205 calories just with the Protein powder and 1 tbsp of peanutbutter. I like to add banana in once in a while, and they do last me a few hours too.

I use Jay Robbs unflavored powder, but I think it has a slight flavor depending on what you use it in. I can't taste it creamed Soups, but can see it in broth Soups, therefore I can taste it more. I can't use it shakes, I prefer the vanilla or chocolate, but I can put it in cottage cheese, yogurt, and can eat it without noticing a huge difference.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
