http://beanitos.com/ I love these. They have Fiber and Protein. I eat the original and I am good with half a serving or less. I never start eating and crave more like most chips.

I hate shakes with water. I use skim milk and I know people use almond milk. Maybe ask if you can use the almond milk its very low in calories.

Are you doing puree or mushy? Some people have both stages i did not. For mushies I like scrabled eggs whisked with skim milk, beans, refried beans, tuna, canned chicken any flaky fish, cottage cheese or ff ricotta cheese with marinara sauce. I never use a blender except for shakes. Best of luck for you. If you are interested you can friend me in fb at hely lb and I can add you to our recipe group. Anyone is welcome. Best of luck!!

It seems no place here sells sports bras so I have to get online. Does anyone have suggestions? I am worried about ordering one and it does not run try to size. Any suggestions welcome and thank you.

Great job!!! You get what you give!

I usually weigh once a week, but what I have learned is everyone is different and you have to find what works for you. I know people who weigh one and even twice a week and some who only weigh once a month at their doctor's appointments.

I can eat a lot more then I am supposed to but I don't. I measure everything I eat. Make sure you are eating high protein solids eat slow and chew well. Try tracking your foods and meeting with a nutritionist that works with you doctor. The band doesn't make you lose weight it helps you feel satisfied between meals. Calories in vs Calories burned is what makes us lose. Hang in there and stay strong!!

Are you getting enough protein? Also look into taking biotin. You can even find shampoos that have biotin in them. Good luck.

Congrats on the decision. Make sure to start a written list of questions to take with you to your appointments.

My mom would say start a list of questions to take with you to the doctor and she is always right. Take some time and look through all the posts on the forum. There is too much to tell you in a post. Best of luck to you!!

I also like its not a sprint its a marathon. My brother always told me that before I saw it posted in here.

I agree with everyone else. What I did was find healthier ways to fill the cravings. Feel free to join my recipe group on fb if you like. We have lots of good recipes and ideas. Feel free to friend me at hely lb.

Wow awesome job. Amazing how the weight loss has improved your posture.

That is close to where my port is. You may want to do a day or so of liquids in case you have irritated anything. If you are very concerned call your doctor. Hope you feel better.

It is probably gas. Try your best to move around and walk . If you are very concerned call your doctor.

Yeah I agree too do liquids for a day then mushies for a day and see how you feel.

Do you take meds? I take a med that causes my white blood count to be a little high. They actually tracked it for a while a few years ago. On my most recent blood work came back a little high still.

My theory is I most likely will have it. There is nothing I can do to prevent it so I try really hard not to worry about it.. You wont really know until you lose a lot of weight. Focus on weight loss.

Outstanding!! Thanks so much for sharing. Get some clothes that fit and you will not only look better but you will feel better!!!!

Awesome post! I am joining gym tomorrow morning. I am so excited!!

Call your doctor and ask if you can blend soups. That really helped me a lot. Blending Campbell chicken soup or others maybe even having tomato soup or heating v8. Really you are not the first person to feel this way call your doctor for suggestions don't compromise your band!!

Congrats!! I am glad you found out so fast!!

Baby food is really nasty! If I had a baby I would make all the food at home. I have friends who also had restaurants puree foods for them. You also can take things like tuna, beans and what Jean said.

If you really want anything you should not give up so easily.

Sometimes when you plateau it is because your body has to catch up to the weight loss. I just came off a three week plateau and even though I did not lose my body looks totally different.
