Blended proteins that contain soy, milk and whey are best. I recommend Isopure and Muscle Milk. Muscle Milk has a little fat and a little sugar but it tastes awesome. Isopure is lowest in fat/sugar. (ZERO to be exact) Check your local GNC. For any of you in the DFW area try the GNC at Frankford/Tollway. They're the best!:clap2:

I still enjoy most foods. However, my band has slipped and, I have forgotten the days of throwing up and sliming. The truth of the matter is I shouldn't enjoy food as much as I do....anyone relate? I have a food addiction that is sometimes controllable and sometimes not. The lap-band does not cure this. I can't really binge without sickness but I never really was a binger. However, I can still sneak in Reese's pb cups and stuff. Self control is very hard but I work at it every day! I've lost 100lbs with the band. I'm happy with my health and damn happy with my looks!:clap2:

FFF (Former Fatties of Frisco) LOL! I say that with much love. For some of you new bandsters we can add another F, making it FFFF which is Future Former Fatty of Frisco! Don't get offended please!:scared: I say that because I am so freaking grateful for my weight loss. I've lost exactly 100lbs (265 to 165). I still have another 20lbs to go and after that I'll be at the plastic surgeon's office. For once in my life I feel healthy and beautiful! Everything is not perfect but it is soooooooo much better since I got the band!:clap2: My surgeon was Dr. Henry Horilleno and I use Dr. Fred Maese for fills. :thumbs_up: Dr. Maese is very aggressive with fills and I do not follow his orders completely. However, he is very comforting. I was wondering if any of you 1 year plussers would give me an idea of what you eat every day. (Including portions...) My band has slipped and, I haven't had it fixed yet. However, I'm in a lot of pain and, I can eat again. It is soooo scary. Are any of you living with slippage?

My band slipped while I had the stomach flu. I couldn't properly throw up and so I was heaving and heaving...It was extremely painful! I recommend a liquid nausea medication (otc) called EMETROL. It works well. Also, if you can get nausea supositories (sp?) from a MD that works the best!
