Mini, No change for me! Thanks

Marcy, great pic, looks like fun! Lotza, sorry about the PB. I slimed the other night, it is yucky.

Yeah, Deb!!! :thumbup::tongue:

Sounds yummy, thanks!

Thanks, Jme. I'd sure appreciate it. I'm sure I could modify the recipe with stevia or something to reduce calories. The pre-packaged bars are so expensive, and really not very tasty. At least making my own I could use different dried fruits, etc. p.s. you didn't tell us your hubby was a hottie!

Has anybody had success with a recipe for making their own protein bars? I checked under the food and nutrition thread, and didn't find anything. There are many recipes on the internet, mostly for bodybuilders, I think.

Adork, you should talk to Tally! Both of you supposedly have leaks, but also have restriction. I'm hoping you both just got very lucky, and actually there are NO leaks. Yeah Lotza! I feel the same way, finally restriction after my 3rd fill. Prty, you are doing great. I'm sure you'll meet your 1 year goal. Jme, keep up the good work! Glad you are feeling well enough to plan a holiday gathering. Turkey is healthy food! Julie, Welcome to the gang!

Great idea, thanks!!!:thumbdown:

Does anyone have a recipe for a lower calorie protein bar? I'm getting tired of the shakes. Thanks!

Mini, I'm hoping to lose 12 lbs. Thanks for tracking us again!

At my one week visit, Dr. K took the dressings off.

Adork, I'm so sorry. How frustrating for you! My two cents is to wait until Dr. K comes back from vacation, and talk it over with him. The leak could be in the band itself, tubing or port. I think they do fluoro to check. Hang in there!

I can't go to this one, but for later in the year how about Chicago, Denver or Vegas?

Jme, I don't think I was hungry for a few days. Then I was ok with the mushies. Dr. K let me advance my diet pretty quickly.

Just a quick note to say hi to everybody. I've had my band 2 months now, and finally, after the 3rd fill, feel like it is working. JOY!

Hi Deb, I would say that your maximum water intake, under normal conditions, should be 12 8-oz glasses per day. Of course if you were hiking the grand canyon, etc., then more would be warranted.

Hi Jamie, Glad to hear you are doing okay. Honestly, tomorrow will not be much fun, but just keep taking your meds!!!!! And walk as much as you can. i was either walking or sleeping! Deb from Tallahassee is here with me, I just got her at the airport. Join us tomorrow for dinner (soup) if you can - you'll see the post with the address of Panera. hang in there! p.s.. Deb says keep the ice pack on!!!

Mini, You look fantastic! And 30 lbs is great. Be proud of yourself!

Munch, you look fantastic! And that dress is great, too. Mini, yes we have early voting here in CO. It is amazing how much attention our state has gotten from the candidates. Did you guys see the SNL skit last night with Tina Fey and McCain? Hysterical! McCain, Fey-lin Make 'SNL' Sales Pitch
