finally_losing_weight

Google Body by Vi - made by Visalis. My LB surgeon used to use Ungery but changed to this product. I was skeptical, but it tastes fabulous and can e mixed into wonderful shakes with many different recipes. HOWEVER, it would be less expensive ordering from Amazon.com to save $20 s/h and taxes. I ordered the shape up kit for $99 that lasts for a month - having 2 drinks a day, a meal, and two reasonable snacks. I LOVE it! The powder smells like came mix and tastes wonderful - not like a nasty vitamin drink. And, NO, I'm not a distributor or make money from it in ANY way - just a happy user!

That's what I thought - and because meat is so difficult to eat, I often look for food easier to get down (sliders) which doesn't help with weight loss. I will be trying some of the useful hints on this thread to help me to eat better. The weight loss did slow down - and I'm guessing because of the lack of nutritian (not necessarily calories because of eating "easy" food)! Do you think my band could be too tight? - it's an Allergan only filled to 3 - or still of chewing well enough?

I am new on this forum, although I was banded 1/5/11, and have learned so much reading this thread! Getting stuck is no fun for sure. I will try sitting at the table more and take deep breaths and pineapple juice when stuck. I have problems with ANY meat even if marinated, crock pot, and I even bought a Sous Vide, as recommended by my surgeon - no luck. I think that I "must still" be eating too fast and it and not chewing it good enough. I can only eat 2oz. meat and nothing else. It's still a learning process but no regrets getting the band!
