NSV... I go to pick my mother up today at her friends house and I am walking down the court and my mom didn't recognize it was me lol. Granted her friend hasn't seen me since in months but my mother is my neighbor and sees me almost daily!!! LOL. SHe actually told her friend I don't think thats her she's to skinny ROFL... ( and the comment was not in a negative way my mom is my biggest cheerleader no matter what) it made me chuckle

I use the bariatric advantage crystals I mix in my wTer in the morning they are good. It took a week to get used to but never horrible. Now it's like flavored water. I do the auto ship so I never run out. I also use the calcium chew from them in caramel it's like a little treat when I crave a lol something. A calcium chew it is n ur says 3 a day so it works out for me. Oh have tines changed sine being banded and all for the good. I aslo take 5000 mg of biotin

Refried beans with a lil taco sauce melted cheese or guacamole . (Burritoless BURRITO) . Or sour cream . Also ricotta with sauce and a little mozzarella n grated cheese Noodless lasagna

I'm on a scallop kick. They are 17 g of protein for 4 ounces and super quick to cook which is a great lunch takes no time to cook n I can warm in the microwave which is good cause I can not tolerate reheated food so lunch options need to be freshly made. N I have switched my snack to a protein bar I love the new direction bars from nyu no quest bars are good. I try to get as much protein as I can in. In a pinch ill drink an Isopure

Happy birthday

Great job fellow July bander pics show us the difference we may not see in the mirror

Great work and thanks for the motivation I needed today

Banded July 1 down 58 pounds 3 fills I think total of 5 cc in my band maybe a lil less. Greatest decision of my life to date. Spinn 4-6 days a week eat about 1100 calories a day.

Go you !!!!

I went through the same thing. But then I thought if I do nothing I'm At risk for some other health complications. So I can fight or just roll over and kill myself slowly.i decided to get banded and it had been the best decision I ever made regarding my health. I like that if god forbid it is reversible . My best friend compared it to show shopping ... If I didn't like it I can return it my surgeon has also been banded as well as people on his tr. they made me feel comfortable from my initial visit. Do your research ask your questions make an informed decision :)that's what I did and wish I did it at 28 not 38 but can't go back only forward. I find this site very helpful as I live this lifestyle I come here to read and see how others are doing but ultimately know the decisions to make this work is mind. The band is a great tool it has even changed how I think about food!! Its wonderful!!! Good luck on whatever u decide and we are here for u!

Great job ull be at350 in no time

Toot it loud !!!!

Amazing and you will get there

Meeting all you here Getting into my someday pants Going down 2-3 sizes Dancing the night away in heels and being able to spin n walk the next day Not being able to fit on a dress I was dying to wear because it's to big. Getting up off the floor easier( I work with infants to 1 graders I spend lots of time on the foor) Being just plain ole happy
