I also use Premier ready to drink shakes and I get them at costco and Sam's. I also use Jay Robb powdered Protein mix. I get that at Kroger. They sell several flavors including chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and orangesicle (which tasted like a pushpop), all of which are a whey protein isolate. Like Sojourner said, a whey protein isolate drink is like getting a full meal deal. It gives you all of your amino acids, lots of Vitamins, and is really great for bariatric patients. I use almond milk instead of ff milk. I use Almond Breeze - 60 calories. I also use frozen fruit instead of ice. There is all kinds out there, and basically you just have to find one that works for you. Best wishes.

I love when I fly I don't feel like my thighs are pushing on the seat handles or the person in the seat next to me. The flight is more comfortable and the seatbelt is has to be tightened instead of barely fitting. We fly quite a bit and that was always a worry for me if there was somebody other than my children or my husband sitting next to me! My energy level has increased tremendously and I just feel so much better and not always so tired. Life is good.

That is awesome! I wish I had the guts to jump out of a plane!

Congratulations on your weight loss. You look fabulous. I wish I knew what 10 kgs is compared to pounds in the US - but whatever - you should be proud of yourself because you look good!

Congratulations! Good for you for getting back on track after getting off track for a while. Good story for those who have had the same difficulties staying on track!

Starting weight: 286
Current weight: 258
Banded 1/23/13
Weightloss: 38 pounds
I have been doing really well, some weeks go better than others. I find that some weeks I can lose 3 lbs and the next nothing at all. Haven't figured that out yet. I went for my 3rd fill yesterday afternoon and am a little concerned it might be to much. I have felt like some of the liquids I have had today stuck around a little to long in my throat. I guess I will know better when I can have mushy food tomorrow. I hope I don't have to go get an unfill. Glad to know everybody is sticking with it and doing well.

I don't know about you guys, but lately I stop eating before I am done just because I am tired of chewing. I haven't finished a meal in a couple of days because of this. Just sayin'!!

I love that story. I am seeing some friends next week who don't know I had surgery. I have lost 37lbs - I hope they have that reaction!

We love lamb and will be enjoying if for Easter dinner. My husband always had it at his grandmothers for Easter so it is a tradition we are trying to uphold. I hope I can eat it. We will see.

Oops - calories!Out of curiosity, where did you come up with this formula? I did the math and it seemed to work out for me as far as colories. I just have never seen this before.

Great story! I haven't been on in a long time either and this was a great story to start with. I can understand the loose skin. At least when I was 70 lbs heavier I had nice boobs! I have flabby arms and the inside of my thighs remind me of the saggy, baggy, elephant! However, I feel so much better and like you look pretty darn good in clothes! Congratulations on your success!
