I agree wish I had been able to do this 30 years ago. Life is so great.

The better you FEEL and LOOK the more it doesn't matter. It's not the main thing in your life, other things become important. I am almost 3 years in. I will tell you one thing learn the new way of eating from the beginning, no matter how hard and you will be much happier in the food department. This is a journey, you will make your own personal adjustments in regard to eating. What works for you, maybe like they said. leftover containers are my best friend. You can still go out to eat, the conversation, the company, the laughs become priority, NOT THE FOOD. iTS A NEW LIFE. ENJOY

Sandy M./Katie Keane They had me so afraid of the feeling you would get from carbonation, I was petrified. I finally tried a sip of pepsi and wham the pressure in the chest. No thanks. But summer, oh I wanted something COLD and refreshing. Remembered, Friendly;s Slammers. Which is Sherbert of choice and seltzer with a bit of vanilla syrup. They mix it like a malt so there is no carbonation left, but oh is it C_O_L_D. This my treat when I have been shopping all day in town and the thirst is unyielding. Maybe 3x a month. Didn't hurt me. coffee lost the taste for it. I was using Int'l delight flavors in my

Katie Keane to blueGurden That's fantastic on your eating regimen. You GO Girl. Your doing great! 30 lbs. since DEC. that's wonderful. If you are doing this good and no eating problems your band is fine. And whatever else your doing. I think my problem from the beginning was I used shakes to much instead if learning the new eating habits. Which I am concentrating on more now. My big advice is make sure you get your total Protein and veggies for the day. If you don't it will affect things like your hair. I m having that problem now. And having to work on it. BEWARE

Katie Keane to bluegarden When something won't go down you get a pressure that has to go. It will make you let or get it up. Like I said, it comes up in my case anyway, like bubbles of liquid. I think until you get eating properly LEARNED, this is something you will have to deal with. Eating small, SLOW, SLOW, and chew, chew, chew, is the way you have to do it. I myself am still battling this after 2 years. Now after stating that down part of the whole thing, I had quadruple By-Pass surgery, and was diagnosed with diabetis. Weighed 275 lbs. 3 years ago. Now, weight is 180, don't have diabetis, my blood work is utterly fantastic. Cholesterol is 135. I eat a lot, NO, can I try anything to see if I can YES. If I follow the rule, if I don't I suffer. Is it worth it. Oh I forgot, feel wonderful, look great, YEH, love myself??? You bet!!!!! I just looked at your picture, you are half my age I bet. Oh, How, I wish I had been able to do this 30 years ago. Good Luck chat anytime you want.

Katie Keane You really have to see what works for you. Everyone is different how food goes down. You are going to do a lot of throwing up. Which is weird it usually is not what you ate, but big bubbles of liquid, Or air. You'll figure the due and don'ts and it will drive you crazy. I went at food very slow. A lot of shakes. It drove me crazy I could eat a piece of licorice, but not a small piece of chicken. You have to feel YOUR way. I'm 2 years, Look great, healthy, my priorities. We didn't do this to continue the bad road. I eat what I can eat. If its a couple of bites of each thing so be it. Big portions are gone and who needs them. Just let out band twice and starting to eat more adventurously. Good food. Can't eat a lot of anything and that's okay. Don't miss it! Started juicing to get more nutrients I was missing. Kinda like that. The weight comes off nicely the food a battle, a different one,

Katie Keane So sorry you are having such a tough time. I wouldn't last on anything a didn't enjoy either. I have never heard or tried have the Protein drink guys name. Tried a few and tried

Thanks for comeback on this subject. I have cutback on an afternoon coffee and a nite- time wine OH SCHUCKS. And the problem has subsided. I also think it has a lot to do with empty stomach and It leaves room for acid to build. I have added a half a milk Protein in the afternoon and I think that is helping. Maybe I can add the wine back YEH in a week or so. It's a lot of trial and error. But very worth it. These years have been the happiest in my life even with all the ups and downs. I wish this had been around when I was 30. Thanks you three. Katie Keane

Katie Keane I've been using unjury.com Protein powder for 2 years. I use the vanilla and plain with different additives or juicing. Sometimes fat-free Inti'l Delight coffee flavors. 2 Tsp. Tastes like a milkshake. Been very satisfied with being able to MIX THINGS UP a bit.

Katie Keane Love them on the half shell with a great sauce. I am a 2 year vet. Finally tried last April. Loving them all over, the easiest thing to eat FOR ME.

Katie Keane NY I am a 2 year vet and 70 years old (very young and attractive one Ha!.) I started out using on line support in the beginning but didn't use it a lot. My LOSS! Have lost 65 lbs. 1. Goal was HEALTH very necessary. 2. Goal was 3x to XL to shop at Chico's. No Further or that bit of attractive would be gone. The eating process has been a real hassle. A lot of upheaving for 2 years.. Had never done a let out till past fall. No problems with weight. Did another, no problem. One of the reasons for adjustments was lack of nutrient consuming. I was bad in this area. I use the
