I really don't think any one would mind. If no one posts, I might start a new thread for the challenge in April.

well i'm right back where i started which is why its so depressing..i'm hoping to get going better....

It sounds like there is some spyware or something on your computer, I would run your anti virus and see if it comes up with any thing.

Hey Gina, We are working one an FAQ for members on topics just like this, so keep your eyes open for it.

Hey hope, It's really up to your doctor and everyone is different. I spent pretty much 24 hours in the hospital, I went in the afternoon one day and left around the same time the next day. But I would speak to your doctor to get a better idea.

wow, I never heard of the spasams before, maybe your body is trying to reject to band? I really don't know. Good thing your going to the doc soon! Please keep us updated, and we will be thinking of you.

Hey thanks guys, I should get them in the mail soon and I can try out different stuff, then i can see what I like and maybe order some more. I will check around for better prices maybe if it's something i will continue ordering. The cereal sounds good, because I don't have much time for breakfast and I'm always tempted to stop by McDonald's:sneaky: And the other protein stuff will keep me filled so i don't go for empty calorie stuff.

I'm not sure about Dr. Powell, but I love my Fill Center USA fill specialist here in Florida. If you are paying I think you should let him know you want more of a fill, because its money out of your pocket everytime you go. I'm not sure if its a fill center policy or just my specialist, but with in 72 hours if i feel its too much or too little i can go back in free of charge to get it adjusted up or down.

After speaking to a Fill Centers USA rep to schedule my next fill, she asked how I was doing and I told her that I was having some difficulties eating on my 25 min. lunch, and staying full. She reccomended some products from Bariatric Advantage. I ordered a few sample packes. I was just wondering if any one else had tried them before, and what they think about it. Here is what I ordered: Adjustable Gastric Band Sample Kit - 7 Day VitaBand® Chewable Multi-Vitamin Calcium Citrate Lozenges Protein Sampler Pack Bariatric Advantage Ready-to-Shake Meal Replacements Bariatric Advantage High-Protein Cereals nectar Protein powders Matrix 5.0 Protein powder Pro-Stat64 liquid Protein Proteinex Liquid Protein (Orange) ProCell Protein Powder (Tasteless) Profect Sampler (Blue, Cool, Fresh, Mango) 2.7 fl. oz vial. 25g protein, 0g fat, 0g carbohydrates. Flavors: Blue Raspberry Swirl, Cool Melon Splash, Fresh Citrus berry and Grapefruit Mango.

My doc had me on 4 weeks of liquids post op, every doctor is different. He even had me do 2 weeks liquids after fills. I think the most weight i lost was the 4 weeks post op because of the liquids! Keep going though, let us know if you survive!

Hey, welcome to LBT. There are a few people here from Jacksonville, post in the Florida section and you may find some there. Or post in the general discussion area. there is more movement there. Good Luck!

I saw promos for the show, but I didn't get a chance to watch it, did you see it? What did you think?

It's interesting to see the diversity in our answers, it seems like half half people who think its good quality and others who don't. Ohh well...to each his own. :thumbup:

I have been thinking about joining something. They do weight watchers at my school. I have thought about it. I want to get proper restriction first.

I live in Winter Haven so we are really close!
