I was banded in December too...I eat strawberries every day and they have not in any way hindered my weight loss...berries are full of antioxidants and are relatively low in sugar compared to some other fruits...

Best Wishes Christy, see you on the other side!!!

Congrats!! Awesome job!!

Congrats!!

You look fabulous!!

I'm a gum chewer too, helps me a lot when I want to snack.....I'm sure it's passed through now..Best Wishes

The only way is to dig deep and do it...don't be too hard on yourself. I have a husband and 4 children to feed and temptation is always there, so I have to keep myself in check and keep my eye on the prize, a healthy me. Remember how good it felt to eat healthy, exercise and loose weight, you can get that back. Start over with portion control, count calories on myfitnesspal (I count every calorie I eat), lean protein first and lots of water...cut yourself some slack but get back on track...you are so worth it...I hope you are getting some help for the depression too. Best Wishes

Lot's of good advice here! Track your calories on something like myfitnesspal, and I would replace a couple of the shakes with lean protein and veggies...and keep coming back here, lots of great people with great advice! If you absolutely can't stay away from the sweet tea, maybe just have it once a month as treat, so you have something to look forward to...Best Wishes

Congratulations, Fabulous job!!

I got my band to help me maintain my weight after I reach goal not to lose weight, I've lost a considerable amount of weight a few times in the past just to gain it all back..so I look at my band as way to maintain and not gain all the weight back....Congrats on your loss so far and Best Wishes!

Good luck and Best Wishes today

My nutritionist has had hers for 13 years now...I'm hoping to get at least 20 years out of mine

I'm so very sorry, I really hope it all works out some how

How long have you been banded Jessika?

I buy the Quest bars, at gnc all the time, by 2 get one free, I like the coconut cashew and the strawberry cheesecake...we are never going to find a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar, it's just not going to happen with the amount of protein in them, but I like the Quest bars and eat them frequently

I did, I was on day 2 of my period, I just made sure I told the nurse...Best Wishes

Good luck! You'll do great I'm sure....Best Wishes

Love it! I find myself poking my bones a lot these days!

I have lost 95 lbs in 6 months...my doctor says that's faster weight loss than most of his sleeve and bypass patients...It's up to you how you lose...regardless of the type of surgery..eat right, follow the rules and exercise

Congrats!!! and congrats on the birth of your baby too!

I take the gummies too...every day!

Almost daily, sometimes I miss a day, but I never weight at night cause it freaks me out...do what works for you

Congrats!!

Fantastic job Lee!

That's awesome! Congrats!!
