Well I will be adding a chip to my signature...30 days and not 1 cigarette!!! Yeah!!!!!

My incisions felt like paper cuts for a good week. But it will go away. Just hang in there!!

Thanks for the support!!! I hope I can do it!!

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery Kim!! Just remember that everyone here on LBT is always here for you!!

Hello everyone!! I had my two week check-up today with the surgeon. I lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks!! YEAH!!!! I am so happy. I was hoping to loose a little more but I am not complaining!! The crappy part is that I have to stay on liquids for 1 more week. They have a strict 3 week liquid diet, then 2 weeks of mushies, then solids. So I have a new goal for the new year...20 pounds by my birthday, March 5th! Think I can do it???

Congrats on your weight loss!! I am a new bandster just trying to get used to the whole thing. I haven't had a fill yet, but I really feel restricted as it is. Good luck on your new goal!!

Don't fret hun!!! Maybe your body just needs a little more time to adjust. You will start to loose alot of weight and every pound that you loose, will just boost your confidence!! Hang in there!!!

Very wierd, I just checked it out. She said she had a computer body, not fit for a band. Ha ha ha. Very strange!!

Thankyou very much for the kind words. It has gotten a little easier, but I am sure once I get on mushies I will be ok. I am just really tired of all the cream Soups and liquids. But I see my doctor tomorrow so we will see if I get to move forward. Thanks again for your encouragement hun!!!

Well good job!! Happy loosing and keep up on the water (my biggest problem)!! I have felt discouraged in the past few days because I haven't lost anything and I am still on liquids. That's why I was asking about the protein shakes. I am not sure what to do to keep it up, but I am sure it will come to me!

Eeeewwww, that's gross!! But it deffinetly makes me feel like I need to stay focused here in liquid land!!!

Oh my gosh Jessi...how did you loose 13 pounds in 5 days?? That's great!!!

Thankyou Shanna...I appreciate it!!

I do not understand why you feel the need to post rude comments in other people's threads??? If you did not like the question or topic, do us all a favor and keep your opinion to yourself. And I was aking for other people's feedback and experience with Protein shakes. Not just putting a question out there for no reason. Calling someone "irresponsible" and saying "shame on you", is totally uncalled for. So I would appreciate if you just leave my post's alone and not comment in them at all!!!!! I don't need your negative attitude. Thankyou!

Thanks J. I appreciate the positive feedback!

I already know that...trying to make some converstaion and get other peoples takes on the Protein shake. Much love, but no thanks!

Thanks Teresa!!! You spell your name just like me!!!

Hey people! I have noticed that since I started to drink my protein shakes, I havenot lost any weight. I am able to drink a whole glass too. I am concerned that it is messing with with my weight loss. Anybody else experience this??</p> <p>

Mmmmmm...sounds yummy!!

Interesting about the straw...my doctor gave me one in the hospital and said "get used to it, your meals will have to go through a straw for the next few weeks!!" I haven't had any issues with it.

Congratulations!!!! That's great! I hope to do just the same thing over the next year. I have already lost 11 pounds so I am well on my way to a new me!!! Keep up the good work and and also keep us informed on your progress!!! Just for the awesome job, you get the dancing banana's... :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Wow good job explaining...welcome to the family Browneyes!! We just love new members!! How was your banding experience? I like to get input from everyone.

Oh my gosh...let me just tell you guy's that my fiance is a little tired of me making noises when I sleep, take a shower, walk around, basically everywhere. And unfortunetly the protein shakes aren't helping the scent either. It feels so good to release it, but it's a little too much for my man. LOL I have never had this type of gas before. I hope it goes away.

I am sorry that you have to go through this. Have you asked your doctor if your band is too tight? That's what is sounds like to me. Or you are not chewing good enough. I hope you feel better soon.
