That is awesome...Congrats.

Hey, My trainer asked me to put this together and I wanted to share.

I like grape and green apple

Great News :thumbup:

Generally speaking lack of change is the problem with exercise. I would change up your exercise routine as a first step.

I love them and always carry a few in my computer bag and car. Pure Protein Blueberry and Strawberry are great. SO is the Elite Cookies and Cream.

I have never heard that? I uses straws all the time :thumbdown:

It will always be you...the band is a helper. I like to think of it as safety net under a trapeze, it will help catch you by you still have to make the leap and let go of the past to to grab the new life.

congrats it will only get better

This includes me pre-op diet as well I lost 45 pre-op in about 6 weeks and the rest since Jan 27th.

It is when you have found a level of band fill that reduces your food intake to the ideal 8 oz/1 cup and it lasts 4-6 hours so you can reduce your meals to 3-4 per day. I know it sounds kind of odd, but you have to experience to know it, but you will have no question when you feel it. :thumbup:

I have not used soy. But I have very good luck with egg white protein as well as whey.

I don't know anyone who does not have doubts. In the end for me, the part the put me over the edge was if I don't change what I am doing to lose weight I can't expect different results. This program takes conviction and you need to be motivated to follow the guidelines, do the exercise and keep focused during the Bandster Hell phase before you hit restriction. In the end it was not easy, but it was the best thing I ever did for myself.
