    Fyi.. Unjury protein

    Try the unjury unflavored in orange juice...can't taste it or even detect it...that's the only way I get all my protein in....I agree it's nasty in yogurt, milk and flavored waters....

    Unjury

    Love the unflavored in lo cal orange juice...don't taste it nor does it change the texture...tried it with life water/sobe didn't like it in that though....

    Hiccups

    I get the hiccups when i eat too fast and don't chew small enough pieces....it is the warning light to tell me to slow down!!
  6. I was banded July 10th and i am averaging about 8lbs lost a month since surgery....(I also was a low BMIer of 35 to start with high blood pressure and high cholesterol)...my PCP said 10 more lbs and I can come off of both meds!

    Notice Me, Please!

    I hear you...I am in the same boat....I have lost 30 lbs since begining of July. Everyone that knows i had the surgery has commented but no one at work who doesn't know hasn't said a word - and it is very obvious ...I was bummed at first but a few people i know socially have commented and i am actually embarrased and not sure how to answer their questions - how i did it - what am i eating - some days i tell people it was Lap Band and others i have said doctor supervised diet along with excercise!!! I think some of the people from work have seen me do every diet in the world and are probably afraid to comment bc i haven't talked about anything recently - they know i have been to the doctors frequently and i wonder if they think i might be sick!!
  8. I too was 35.4 with HBP and High cholestol...and BCBS of MN approved me! During the 6 month PCP and nutritionist visits i managed to lose 6 lbs in the 1st 3 months and then the next 3 months let the 6 lbs creep back on. I too was afraid if i feel under the 35 BMI i wouldn't get approved! I hate to say it but it was teh worst 6 months of my life (and my husband would agree)! I have been banded since the begining of July and it has sense been great! I am down about 30lbs including the 2 weeks of pre-op liquids!! Hang in there!!! it will happen!!

    Only One Cc?

    I went for my 1st fill today....he put 3.4ccs in....I drank the water tried to be cool yeah...this can work.....not...went back had 0.8 removed...thank God....I never would have survived that...
  12. I think the statistics are 35% of your excess weight they tell you is what they project you will loose....could he have said 30to 40 % of excess lbs and not 30-40 lbs? I was only a BMI of 35and i have already lost 27 lbs since pre-op and i was banded 7/10/2012. The carbonation is a definite no no! Steak - granted i only have 1.5ccs in my band and have had steak without problems...if you a good quality steak and chew chew chew with small bites... heck i have gotten stuck,pb and vomitted on mashed sweet potatoes...

    July Bandsters....lets Here You....

    I was banded on July 10th....recovery has been easier than i thought. Although I am starving around dinner time only....and I don't get a fill until August 18th! I had 1.5cc when the surgeon put the band in! And I am having a heck of a time remembering to eat slow and chew and chew and chew....i have had a few stuck eposiodes lately with Chicken and sweet potatoes....I ate to fast and didn't concentrate on slowing down and chewing - I think i was too hungry...my weight loss has slowed down - they would like me to eat 1000 calories and i am finding it difficult to get the 1000 calories in...but I am loving the weight loss that i have so far!!! Good luck Julys'!!!
