Well I am certainly glad I stumbled back here. (It's been years!) Anyway, I had not had a fill for about 9 months but really had not been losing weight either. Then about 3 months ago my band tightened to the point where I was losing everything I ate but liquids and soft foods. I gained a few pounds during that time also. Then the band tightened even further and Water wasn't staying down. I went to the surgeon and he did a complete unfill and sent me for tests. All the tests were OK so that meant the band all of a sudden was just too tight. Still don't understand how or why that happened. Anyway, 2 months later I'm up 17 lbs being completely unfilled!!!! :thumbup: I went back on Thursday and started the slow fill process all over again. But in thinking back I can honestly say that I was NOT following the healthy lifestyle of being banded. I was eating and drinking with abandon during those 2 months of being unfilled. I wasn't exercising hardly at all. I just can't believe I did this to myself yet again! But I did and now it's time to get back on track. Well, thanks for letting me unload. I hope we all find ourselves at our perfect goal weight at the end of our journey. Marie

I get my Muscle Milk Light at either GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe. You can also order it cheaper online at Discount Nutritional Supplements & Sports Nutrition Supplements at SupplementsToGo.com! Buy at Wholesale & Save!

I'm almost a year out and I think I've tried them all by now. However my fave is Muscle Milk Light. 190 calories and 25g of protein in 2 scoops. It come in lots of different flavors so you won't be bored!:biggrin:
