Way to go lilpeach

I take 2 children's chewables. I'm still looking for the right calcium. I don't like any of the chewables that I've tried.

I'm down a little over a pound, but I rounded up.

I buy the oscar mayer turkey bacon. Tasty stuff.

I buy the Chobani 12-pack from BJs. The package that I get, comes in blueberry, strawberry, and peach. I use them in my protein smoothies with unflavored protein powder.

Welcome to onederland. Enjoy the ride!

Lap-Band for Life by Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I bought this last year from amazon.com

You can go to gnc and try different types of protein. They don't usually carry too many sample sizes, but they do have a very generous return policy. You can buy and try, and if you don't like it, bring it back and try something else. I have tried just about everything at my local gnc and finally settled on isopure zero carb protein drinks in the glass bottles. I like the grape frost flavor. Unjury.com has sample size packets. I personally didn't like the unjury protein though.

Congratulations and good luck on your journey.

I had my surgery one month before classes started and didn't have any issues. Most people are back to fuctioning normally within a week.

Congratulations on your decision to get banded and good luck on your journey.

I'm down 13 lbs. I cannot access the spreadsheet from my phone.

I counted every pound lost as well.

I started walking the day of surgery. I walked about 6 miles. Strenuous exercise continued about 2 weeks post op. No stomach exercises for at leats 6 weeks for me.

Congratulations and good luck on your journey.

It's a great workout. Here's another thread about it here: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/ea-sports-active-personal-trainer-wii-95528/

Congratulations!

LoveIslovely, Congrats on getting your masters degree

I found out the hard way, when one morning I could barely stand up because the pain was so intense.

I thought I had relieved my osteoarthritis in my knee but I found out that the arthritis is still there and prob will be forever with me.
