  1. gotten me back on track!!! I just finished a coffee, chocolate, caramel shake.. I love it. So many options and so many recipes.. I get my shakes for free.. I am a 2 year out bander and fell off wagon eatting nothing but sugar.. this has curved my cravings of sugar.. and hopfully will help with these last 40 pounds.. My input I am in.. and the support and friends I have made.. lose weight,,have parties.. get healthy.. I'm all about it. Let me know what you doctor says because it has been nothing but good for me. I researched it and everything I could not find anything negative about it. I even found a bias dietician online write an article raving about the new shake. Check my site, http;//sherrybellingham.myvi.net I love the stuff!!
  2. This is what it all comes down too LOL... Who else could you carry on a conversation and experience like this!! Love It!! Getting absolutely nothing done for day 2 though..
  3. I have had some serious close calls.. a new meaning for powdering our noses... I just need to go powder my nose... means ...
  4. Sweetie I had them as well, and have read on here alot of us have.. Do you have gasx.,.. plus getting up and walking really does help and that is what they want you to do.. It will pass though but definitely get some gasx chewables.. it is the air they pumped your tummy with to see what they were doing... Get up a walk.If you have to even just around the house.. but move it will help.. Good Luck!
  5. I don't remember pain but I am a cronic pain patient that deals with in daily so I didn't notice as much! I am so sorry for your pain, but hang in there it will pass so I heard about 3rd day. You are on a wonderful and challenging Journey.. but totally worth it. So your new birthday is Feb 28 Happy Birthday!!
  6. To find people who are would understand this gross predicament
  7. I can't sleep till meds pass.. once I woke and thought I was gonna die heartburn so pain.. I am a cronic pain patient so have to take alot of meds... i do chili.. make you a large pot of soup and freeze in little containers.. As far as meds something warm going down to melt them like green tea. Chew OMG I could not even began to try LOL
  8. I am here for you we all are. I am 2 years out 150 pounds less.. but past year fell off the wagon and went on a sugar binge for a year. Thank God i didn't undo all my hard work. I found a protein shake i love, signed up here, and with all the support from here and my protein shake support I am ghoing to get my last 40 off. I would never believe I would ever be saying that. WOW! We can do this!!
  9. So what all do your eat... without shakes, I do chili and shakes.. women of habit. LOL
  10. You look Great!! How Long have you had band.
  11. It says Tri-sorb protein blend with fiber for long lasting energy and keeps you full. One thing I noticed is I have been struggling with going bathroom for many years (not enough fiber) but low and behold this has been be normal and it has sold me on it just for that. LOL I am also on alot of meds that add to the constipation. So I have been a happy camper just for that. LOL
  12. This one says 25gr soy protein -contains 6.25of non-GMO Soy protein - I love the flavor and all the different recipes. But I do the same recipe every day cause I love it. So many of them had such an after taste this one I love the flavor.I don'y think I tried GNC one though. Thank God I love this one because it did get me back on track.
  13. Geez I Love it for someone to understand and know. I wish I had joined this site when I was first banded!!! It just doesn't make sense though the stuff bad for you goes down no problem, could eat it all day. Then when you try to eat nutritional you fight with. That is why I was sharing with people I have found a protein shake I Love.. so it has recently put me back on track, and looking at labels. Yeah!
  14. Glad you liked it, I love this quote!! In so Many Ways!
  15. Here it is: There are two days in every week about which we should not worry.Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares, Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. We cannot erase a ...single word we said. Yesterday is gone. The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow. With its possible adversities, Its burdens, Its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's Sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.This just leaves only one day . . . Today. Any person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's -yesterday and tomorrow that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad. It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore live but one day at a time. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." - Matthew 6:34
  16. I have talked to so me people and they say the same thing salsa and chips go down. Doesn't make sense!! Check my site I have a wonderful quote for us banders about one day at a time. So true and if we make a bad choice only we can change it. We are the ones in control!! Have a Happy Bander Kind Of Weekend!!
  17. Will be here when you get home.
