  1. My friend had her band loosened for the trip, and then refilled when she returned. Good Luck!!
  2. Boy am I on the right thread! Cant sleep- Do not want to become addicted to meds + hit a plateau. AHHHH!!!
  3. I am sooo happy about not sharing this outside of my supportive family and friends. This was my decision because I am not interested in any negative opinions. Others are continually asking how I am doing it and I reply " I eat less and exercise more". Thats it - end of story. I may decide to tell others as I approach my goal, but I do not feel the need to right now. It is a personal choice and I am sure you will make the one. Good Luck
  4. Hey Spunkywoman, How have you been? I met you in the office a few months ago. I am down 65 lbs!!! and am very happy with that! When is the boat trip?
  5. Hi I have read your article, and it states "whey peptides provide the highest quality source of protein known. Higher than soy. Soy offers a much lower score in biological value than whey protein isolate." they suggest a combo to reap benefits of both. I am guessing that you so want to maintain your greener lifestyle that you are not focusing on that. I can relate and have. Then I lost a lot of hair and energy. Hope you do better than I. Wishing you wellness and weight loss.:smile2:
  6. Whey protein isolate is the only protein fully assimilated in our bodies. I have wasted time and money on others, and have lost hair. There were also days that I had no energy. Also, there are different types of whey protein. The label must say 100% whey protein isolate. I am putting my plant based lifestyle on the back burner for a while until I am closer to my goal. Be Well
  7. Night coughing while sleeping is a sign of being overfilled.Take care
  8. Hey Maria!!!! Soooo happy for you!!! Its great to see you become proactive about your health and happiness. The liquid diet and breathing in cleaner air will pay off shortly!! This time next year--- YAHOO!!!! Love you!
  9. I had my 1st fill of 1/2cc today. My surgeon wants to take it slow with me because of all of my complications. So far, so good. How is everyone else doing?
  10. Hi Candle, I just bought some Mederma. I have seen it suggested on this site a few times. There is a support group in East Northport on Oct 4 at 7PM I like the fact that there are only fellow Bandsters there. We get our answers from those who have first hand knowledge. Let me know if you are interested.
  11. Hi Shelli, One more week to go on mushies. I had a meatball and some pasta 2 nights ago. I just made sure that I chewed it real well until it liquified before I swallowed. Hope this doesnt mess my band up. Anyone else cheat??:embarassed::nervous:girl_hug:
