K, so my dr told me that to jump start my weightless I can do a liquid diet, protein shakes 3-4 times a days my band is slowly getting refilled, I am hoping to lose 24lbs in 2 weeks. I know it isn't a great way of doing it but it's weight I have gained since problem with the band. I know that it should be a slower process but I don't wanna buy more clothes. So, with that said what shakes do you recommend that work and are reasonably priced. I don't have a lot of extra money at the moment. So cheap is desired . Thanks

K, so after a very bad period of time in which i had to have the fluid removed due to it being too tight, I have reached a point in which I cannot get back to where I was. I had lost roughly 70lbs. And was doing great, felt great, and was starting to look great. I went in for a routine upper g.i and the barium I drank dripped through like an I.v. So they said they wanted to remove half and then see why happens. Well what happened was I now weigh more than I did before the surgery, I am so disgusted with myself it's unreal. I work out, I thought I was eating better, I even tried the joe cross reboot program. Lost 10, gained 15. So I pretty much have up. But after realizing that I need to fix things not just for me but for my family, I am back ! I had a full today, I am at 8 cc on a 10 cc band. I was at 7.5 and felt absolutely no restriction. So I'm hoping this helps. My hardest part is I don't have a lot of money, and I'm not sure what foods to eat for breakfast, lunch, and I work in a prison so it's hard to eat a lot so I'm wondering what exactly do you guys eat and how much for lunch breakfast and dinner. I need help and remember I'm low on funds. I have unlimited eggs due to my chicken lol

Ok so a typical day.....? I really need a fresh look. Breakfast, snack, lunch dinner, ? You put anything with tuna ? I'm thinking boiled egg or two for breakfast, yogurt for snack, can of tuna lunch, apple snack, and a piece of grilled chicken for dinner ? What y'all eat on a daily ? Thanks for the info it helps tremendously. My insurance won't pay for nutritionist no more

8 kale leaves, 1 while cucumber , 2 green apples, 4 whole stalks of celery, 1/2 lemon , thumb size piece of ginger.

I did joe cross mean grean. It's amazing it worked awesome however my surgeon told me to absolutely not juice. They said it will slow your metabolism ? That's what they said today

Ok, I have just got my band filled yet again.... I have gained so much weight and I am obviously doing the wrong things. I have been eating dinner. That's about it. I work during the day and don't eat til I get off so..... I have been told to eat 5-6 small meals during the day, anyone care to share what they do. I.e what they eat. How much of it ? I lost 70lbs just from band itself, then had issued Nd had to empty it. Now that its filled I want to start losing! Fast and properly. I was told to do only shakes for 2 weeks, any ideas. I need cheap, not a lot of money at the moment.

When I am at work I just stay so busy I'm not really hungry. So when I get home I eat dinner, an I'm good. But I'm trying, I just need to get to where I was before with the band. I'm at 7.5 and still feel no restrictions. I'm not giving up just need to do it !

I was told today that I needed to do high protein low carb shakes for two to 3 weeks 70 grams of protein a day. Anyone know of a good reasonably priced ones. I'm going to gnc but I don't want spend 200$ please help !!

No I was afraid of spending 200, as I have never been to gnc before. I only spent 47 on platinum hydro whey , advanced hydrolyzed whey protein.

Oh I'm sorry I just looked , it would come to be 78protein and 24 carbs a day with they whey from Walmart. With what I got its 75 protein and 5g of carbs a day. I t average about the same in price, 47$ gives me 18 days or the 30 for Walmart gives me 16 plus more carbs so I guess it ain't too much of a difference. Doctor said Lear amount of carbs I can get so I guess I'm ok.

Cookies and cream, all they had. How much carbs are in the one from Walmart. And how many scoops per container.

I got platinum hydro whey. It was 47 for 3 week supply at 3 shakes a day. 30g of protein, 2g of carbs , 1 g of sugar. Per shake. I can have only this for two weeks.

Carolina girl how long does a 14.95 thing last ?

I was told by my doctor that I need to cleanse my colon and that will help kick start the weight loss and overAll help out, does anyone know of a good, effective cleansing product out, there are so many. I see 48 he cleanse and other but what actually works ?

I have had the lap band since 2010, I lost almost 70lbs in 2 yrs. I weigh more now than when started after complications with the band and I guess my crappy choices. I have just recently gotten my band refilled due to it being empty for so long. I work out 5 days a week. Treadmill and light weight lifting and I'm not losing, I really need help on best foods to eat and how much. I try to eat small amounts and good things I love fruit, I eat it a lot especially at work. But I stay starving ! I need to get filled some more as to I have no restriction at 5cc. Please help.

Right now I can eat a whole meal and literally be starving, you saying your whole meal is the size of 1/2 cup. I wish that woul satisfy me. Hopefully when I get my band filled and have restriction it will. I'm at 5cc and no restriction at all.

Thinking about going from my band to either. I have had band for 3 years and had list 70lbs first 2 yrs then problem with band , gained it back , now weigh more than I did when I started. I'm so ready to give up hope. I hate being this big but all the exercising, dieting, and it all seems to just not work for me. Any suggestions ?

When I do eat , it's small amounts, mostly fruits, a lot of water , some crystal light. I exercise 1-2 hrs a day 5 days a week, no weight loss. My band was working great, then I started getting real bad reflux, couldn't hardly swallow water. Had to have it emptied and refilled. I'm not where I was yet so not much restriction but I'm hoping I can get it back so I can get the help I need. I ha lostlike 70lbs. Now I'm back up more than I started. I just wish I could get that 70 back off, he'll, even 20. Make me feel like what I'm doing is working.

I really want this to work ! It's just constant disappointment so far

I have had the lap band done for 3 years now. I had lost close to 70 lbs when i started having issues with night cough and reflux. They removed half of my fluid and I. 3 months time I gained back all of the weight even while doing what I thought was the correct ways. I now am having it filled again, I now go to the gym 6 days a week and am on a mission to drop it back off as fast as possible. However I'm so frustrated, I felt so good , so much better, and much better self esteem , now I just feel almost like giving up. I see so many success and wonder why not me !

I was wondering the same thing about the band test, also if anyone can help me I'm looking for a way to basically cleanse my body in order to get a fresh start. I had my band unfilled last night so I'm at 5cc now feel a lot better ! I'm looking for a good meal plan that will basically tell me what to eat and how much.

I just had a full this morning, they removed all fluids to measure and then replaced and added to my band. I'm at 6. Cc on a 10cc band since I've left the office I have thrown up the water they had me drink and have vomited a couple times on only my saliva. Should I give it time and hope swelling is the issue or go have some fluid removed.

I work in a prison and from 5 am to 3pm I can't really eat a meal, it's gotta be either a drink ir something small I can take in buy needs to be high protein, any suggestions ?
