How are all the March 18th bandsters doing? I am down 30 pounds since my initial consult but only 10 of that has been post band. I had a post surgery complication and ended up in the hospital but I'm fine now thank God. I had my first fill today. Looking forward to getting back to losing.

Doing good.... I just had my first fill today also.... lost 25 pounds since my initial consult.. glad ur doing good now...

So my deal is how to get enough Protein.... I was told we could probably eat about 1/2 cup of food at a time ... wow

So puree food tomorrow , then get to eating right..

Thanks! Im going to be thinking of you too! I wish my husband was more supportive. He's so removed from the process he doesn't even know where I'm going. He just asked me to give him the name of the place and address so he knows where he has to pick me up. He hasn't wanted to hear anything about it. Don't know why it's bothering me now. Anyway' date=' Teresa we are doing this for us! We will be just fine. Lets keep in touch please! We are soon to be banded sisters.[/quote']

I think our husbands must b twins... at least mine is going with me , only because there is a hunting store nearby .. I totally understand why it bothers u ...

My hubby keeps telling me " you're just going to leave me when u loose all that weight anyway".

It is so much on my mind... how sad , but true ...

I am still not familiar with this forum so if u want to email me .... teresa4u@sbcglobal.net ...... I think we might could communicate better..

What do u think ??

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!!!!

Yummm sounds delicious .. I will have to try it

Teresa4u I'm getting nervous too' date=' I was reading people talk about the gas, shoulder, port pain afterwards. Everyone still says its the best decision they ever made for themselves. Being the fat girl all my life I'm just ready to go for it.[/quote']

Are you ready ??? Not much longer ... I went for my EKG and lab work today ... This Protein drink and Soup diet is getting old .. I actually thought that I would have a much tougher time with it .. this is the most willpower that I have ever had ... I am scheduled for 11:00 ..

what about u??? Any thoughts , concerns ...

I'm so excited!

March 18th for me too. I try not to think about it too much , cause I feel like I'm having panic attacks when I do......

Its going to be a real change of life...
