Friend lost more than me -protein soups
My friend had the lap band placed one month after me had less to lose than me and had lost 20kg more than me so far, she says some days or at least 3 or 4 a week all she has is 5 or 6 protein soups the soups are 300calories each. Is this healthy to do? she says she will only do till she reaches her goal which is another 10kilos? anyone else doing this? her doctor told her to have fluids for 2 to 3 days after the tightening, mine never told me this, i have had 4 fills, she has had 3 so far. Her doctor told her doing what she is doing was good if it worked for her. any ideas??

Excercise paying off with weightloss
Has anyone noticed if the weeks you excercise, that you are losing more weight than the weeks you dont? Can someone motivate me with examples that they know this to be a true fact. My doctor says the most weight you lose is with what you are not eating not the excercise, but others says differently.

diet disaster since Easter
I keep having to tell myself, and make myself believe iiiiii am in control of what i eat, that means stop dont have another piece of bread, or better still dont have any bread --- i try and try, some days i am so good. but yep one day at a time, it is paying off 27 kilos since 18sep2007, okay havent done as well as others, but boy oh boy will keep at it as my shape is changing --- for the better, i wont let my favourite foods ruin it, i wont let them get to the better of me. i never want to be fat again - still am but working on not being, hey isnt that why we all on these boards to get motivated, comeon lets motivate each other we can do it, the band is there just to start us of but basically it is all up to us - we could sit there realistically having milkshakes, and icecream all day but we aint going to are we?

Does a clear, flavorless, protein supplement exist?
I am in Australia, there is benefibre, but yes that is only fibre not protein, so i too await responses.

Question??!!??
One thing i notice everyone is doing, and was advised to do here on the board is to have protein, notice you guys all do, certain this stops the hunger, and i will follow in your steps, keep up all the good work.

Yogurt is ok?
Good ideas. will mix fruit and museli with my low fat yougurt, then when go to the doc ask if that is okay, i have been having low fat feta and a little low fat sliced, but the cheese is what i could easily overdo , so got to be careful.I take a calcium tablet everyday, he knows that as mum as oesteoprosis.
