  1. http://5daypouchtest.com/index.html there is the link for the test. Yes it's like a reset
  2. I didn't tell anyone either, just my mother. People are to judgmental and I don't care for peoples opinions about what I do with my body and life. We will never know anyones struggles.
  3. I will say that having this surgery is most definitely NOT a easy/lazy way out. TRUST ME. Its a tool to help us. I haven't had any bad experiences with the band, if anything I am my own worse enemy Meaning, YOU control what YOU put into your body, the band will help you with the rest. Im currently starting over due to not making the right choice about food. Until anyone walks in your shoes, don't listen, YOU do what YOU feel is right for you and your health. You can do this and Congrats and Many Blessings. This site is awesome with awesome people to help.
  4. So, I am on day 2 of the 5 day pouch test and the food monster is telling me to eat everything, but I am not actually hungry. This head hunger this is annoying as hell. My question is, how does everyone deal with this issue?
  5. So, I am in the process of doing the 5 day pouch test. The food devil is telling me to "eat" but my stomach is telling me that im full. Now I have not given in to the cravings, but its driving me crazy. My question is, how does everyone deal with their head hunger? Any advice on this?
  6. Congrats on the weight loss. You will get to your goal. Ive had mine for a little over a year and a half and I lost 50 but ended up gaining 33 pounds ...eh.....but I won't let that get me down, but its so frustrating.
  7. thank you. I never thought about a pixie cup.
  8. thank you. I never thought about a pixie cup.
  9. January 2012 and I do but not like I should. I went to the Dr in April and they didn't give me a fill even though I was gaining then because they felt I was tight enough but im more hungry much sooner than I should be and I can eat more than before. I did have a expanded esophagus and went on liquids and it went back to normal but I feel as if my food is going through to fast I have a 10cc band with about 6.5cc fill
  10. I have been gaining weight and I was wondering if anyone else went through this and if so, what did you do to get back on track? I have a fill appointment on the 9th and plan on getting xray to make sure i didn't expand.
  11. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
  12. what brand do you use?
  13. I was wondering if Casein was ok for us to use. Thanks.
  14. Thank you so much for posting your story. I was banded Jan 2012 lost about 50lbs and I gained about 33lbs back due to emotional eating and not paying attention to what I am putting into my body. I'm starting over as well, I didn't spend all of this money and go through all of the physical pain to fail. Good luck on your journey.
  15. Thanks! I will order the variety pack first.
  16. I wouldn't have thought of being able to put it in pudding. I can't put my current powder in any of that. Just make a shake out of it
  17. Thx I was wondering about the chicken flavor.I may get a sweet one and the chicken flavor one. Y'all have been so helpful
  18. Thank you both for that information.. I wanted to try it but was afraid I would be wasting my money. Also I have to have my coffee and top know I can put Ikr in that is GREAT! Thanks.
  19. I was just wondering if anyone has tried the Unjury protein powder and if so, what is the best flavor? I haven't used that brand, I like Muscle Milk light because I can tolerate the taste, but was looking for an alternative.
