  1. Yes, I have used them and I like them. I like the cafe caramel better over the mocha but my sister likes the mocha better. I guess it's a matter of choice. I have tried them all except the breakfast ones. They have more carbs that the other ones and less protein. I have also used the eas brand and the muscle milk light. I like them all.

  8. Relax. I was nervous too. But don't worry, the eveluation consist of 2 parts, written and oral. What the psychologist wants to know is that you understand this is a major lifestyle change. You understand this is a tool and not a quick fix. That you have to work with the band and not let the band do all the work. Excercise and good eating habits are important too. Quick tip: Don't rush thru the written questions. They will ask you the same question over and over again just to confuse you. No rush. There's no right or wrong answer. If you have done your homework and read all the material given at the seminars you'll do fine.
  9. My team said not to worry about carbs and calories in the beggining. You still have to try and choose light and ff items but you can have carbs every now and then.
  10. My nick is : kflower84 Feel free to add me .
  11. I guess it depends on the surgeon. My surgeon didn't ask me to do anything and thakfully everything was fine. If he would've asked me I would've done it for my own good.
  12. I take chewable multi vitamins and chewable calcium with vitamin D for better absorbtion. I have to set up my alarms so I don't forget to take them, I do whatever it takes to stay healthy and not have a deficiency in the near future.

  14. Cream of wheat, cottage cheese, pudding, yogurt, oatmeal, refried beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes or plantains. All of those are phase 2 foods.

  21. I am feeling a lot better. I guess whatever I had stuck came down on its own. I was able to eat a little bit of soup last night. I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD GO TO THE DR OR NOT. I really dont want them messing with my band. I guess I'll wait and see.

  23. I read it but wasn't sure it will work . I will definitely give it a try first. Thank you!!!

  25. That's one of the reasons am afraid to get unfill. I feel pretty good right now but I think I might have stretched my pouch and the only way to get the pouch back to normal size would be emptying it and adding restriction little by little but im afraid I would never find that "sweet spot" ever again.

  29. I want to have a healthy weight for when I decide to get pregnant. (hopefully next year) I want to be able to play and run with my 7yr old nephew and my own kids. (when I have them) I want to ride rides in the amusement park. I want to look good in anything. and the list keeps going....
  30. Yes, its normal. The gas will start coming out eventually and you will feel relief. For me walking and drinking warm liquids was the best remedy . Good luck and feel better soon.
