  1. Jenn don't push the fill issue. If you are loosing 1-2 lbs a week , you are doing great. This is a life long change. My doctor said that people who think they have to be really tight are the ones who slip. She said if you are losing more than 8 lbs a month she will not give me a fill. So be careful you don't slip because then you will have to start all over. Give it time you will reach your goal soon enough. Good Luck!!!
  2. I ordered the grape I will let you now how that one taste.
  3. If you go to www.funpartiesinc.com , you can order from them and they send your stuff in brown wrapping. You or anyone else can tell what is in there. It comes private. It is a local buisiness where I live. They have some really nice things....lol. If you know what I mean.
  4. I think I had first seen it on 20/20 on TV.
  5. Hi to everyone in Jersey, I will be visiting your state at the end of July (Highland, NJ). You are all really great people. I have a cousin that lives there, it will be my 3rd time there. Can't wait!
  6. Well I went under unjury.com and they recommended me I need like 60 grams of protein a day according to my body weight and height. So I guess as the weight drops I will need less. I guess my Dr is right. If I get down to the weight I want to be, I should hardly need any protein according to the unjury site.
  7. I sure agree with you. The cellulite looks better dark that bright white.
  8. I would love to gobut I am going in Nov 2007 on the Fantasy out of New Orleans.
  9. How is everyone doing? Just checking up on all of you.
  10. If you feel you can tolerate it, take it slow and try.
  11. You are all a trip, I would love to beable to get together with all of you and have drinks and a girly chit-chat.
  12. The liquid Whey taste a little better cold, I keep mine in the fridge. Let me know how the blue one taste, I never tried that one and yes I should have said it does taste a little weird but it does not take much to get it down. I can live with that.
  13. Oh really!
  14. My dietition also said between 60-70 grams of protein. If you don't get enough, you take a chance of your hair falling out and losing mostly muscle instead of body fat. I would think the dietition would know better than a doctor.
  15. I forgot to say, I use sunblock chap stick on my scars, works well and easy to apply.
  16. Yes I have one been tanning for 2 weeks now.
  17. My doctor told me get at least 75 grams of protein a day, with the band there is no way you can get all that through food. I buy the liquid Whey protein at www.wholesalesupplements.com I drink at least one every two days. you get 12 tubes for like 30.00 + shipping. They send you a free shipping coupon with your order for your next order. I keep it in the fridge, it tatse a little better cold.They have different flavors and they have 42 grams of protein. You need protein to keep the weightloss going and you don't want to start loosing your hair.
  18. Well this is pretty interesting....lol. I stopped here because I saw there were a good bit of post. Well now I see why...lol. I don't agree with the shoe size thing.
  19. Check out lane bryant
  20. Are you getting hungry between meals? Did you portions increase? If so you proberly need a fill. What does your Dr. say about it? Are you getting enough protein in everyday? Not getting enough protein a day will stop weight loss. I take Liquid Whey Protein if I notice I didn't get enough that day. Hope this helps.
