Hi Everyone, I love the low carb diet, I love to edit traditional recipes into low carb recipes, I only have one problem. My one problem is my morning java. Oh well its not that big of a deal. I find that if I burn those carbs doing a half hour walk I can get away with my coffee thing.

You are progressing very well. Keep up the awesome job.

Congrats and wishing you a speedy recovery!

THANKS FOR SHARING

Today is 2 MONTHS since my banding and I have lost 35 POUNDS.

Wow! I started the 11 Week Challenge Move It And Lose It program last week and my progress has been fantastic! Check it out at http://www.sharecare...se-it-challenge

I find that hot broth with an envelope of Knox gelatin disolved in it is low calorie low fat and quite satisfiying and the vegitable kind has 20%RDA Iron per 8oz. serving and the Knox has eight grams of protien!

Today is eight weeks since my banding procedure. This bariatric tool is helping to reshape my future. I am no longer treated for gastric reflux. Today I throw out the last of the Omeprizole.

I give two thumbs up for the WASA Multi Grain. 1 Cracker has 45 Calories, 10g Carbs, 2g Fiber, 0g Fat, 2g Protien, and just 80mg of Sodium. They are on the Aproved Bestlife Foods List.

I was banded the day after you. So far so good. I had a fill last week. My goal for the next two weeks is to stick to three solid meals per day and no shakes.

Hi all. Here I am.

My instructions sound like yours... 3 meals at 2 liquid ounces per meal. Only one protien shake per day can be used to substitute for a meal. For now I am able to do that. Its only a week since my first fill. I know I should try to do without substituting a meal with a shake for a while. My instructions warn that shakes can cause the pouch to reduce in size that filling the pouch with solids is the best.

I do not think that my story will let anyone know what to expect. I met my surgeon a few minutes before I went under. He asked me how much I weighed. I met him again about an hour before I was discharched. It only took three weeks start to finish for my pre-op to post-op status. Too much fun!

Wow you look awesome! I am inspired.

I had my first adjusment this past Tuesday. I was a nervous wreck and wanted to eat non-stop. But it was all nerves not true hunger. I was so glad to go on straight liquids for the one day pre-fill and the two days post fill. So far so good. Only one thing bothers me and that is the bruise left from the injection. I also have one on my wrist and one on my knee, all from injections. I wonder if I have a deficiency. I will see the Nurse Practitioner this Thursday and I am sure she will know whats causing the bruising.
