I cannot wait to say 45 pounds gone... you look amazing... and I bet you feel amazing too... so "only 45 lbs" was so worth all of it

Just wondering... what happens if another medical issue comes up in your life and you have the LB? Does it interfere? Will it pose a problem down the road? Hypothetically if a woman has ovarian cysts or a heart problem? Will having the lap band cause unnecessary medical complications?

I understand the impact of Nsaids and LB... but what does someone do for the arthritis pain?

Jay Robb is awesome! I use the vanilla... today I put 1/2 of scoop in my cream of wheat Cereal made with Water and 1/3 cup of skim milk. I added Splenda brown sugar 1/2 tsp. Talk about delicious!!! I was so proud of myself that I turned cream of wheat into a Protein breakfast! My other favorite Protein Drink is Spiretein. I use the strawberry and banana flavor for a strawberry banana smoothy. 1/2 scoop of strawberry and 1/2 scoop of banana 16 oz water 1/2 scoop of Jay robb vanilla (awesome for sweetness) 3 small fresh strawberries frozen would work too. c1/2 cup of ice cubes blend at high speed! What a delicious treat... and about 26-30 grams of protein! Love it!!!!

Post more pictures... YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL... be an inspiration to all of us who are waiting for the surgery or just had the surgery. Damn girl you look great. BE PROUD and show off your HARD WORK!

My Date is March 18th.... scared out of my mind... trying to envision all the positives "to be"....my new life my new future... I know it is going to be hard not to eat all the foods I love... but being skinny hopefully will overcome that. Good luck to everyone of you... this is not the easy road that everyone around us says... it is going to take alot of changes and hard work from each of us...

I have to say...all of your posts are so positive. I am scheduled for the band March 18th, and I am scared out of my mind. Mostly cause I do not want to ever say "what did I do to myself? I hope all goes smoothly for me and I am so looking forward to looking better and feeling good about myself.
