  1. Do you know anything about the shakes? When you were on liquids what did you drink? These shakes are full of nutrients and protien without all of the sugar...which is why I suggested to go to the site to reasearch for yourself. They do help and if the can help other bandsters like they help me....then why not.
  2. Dont like the topic......get off of the forum....plain and simple. I see weight watchers all over the place as well....are you complaining about that?
  3. They are healthy shakes, they taste great and they work good with the lap-band. I know because I have a lap band and I drink the shakes. The shakes are a good for meal replacements and they are loaded with vitamins and minerals.
  4. I totally agree! They taste so good!
  5. Anyone use Body By Vi? I was banded November of 2008 and the Vi shakes are awsome. My weight started to creep back up and they are awsome for meal replacements and are loaded with nutrients. They would also work for anyone thinking about getting banded and need to lose weight before surgery, and right after surgery when you are on liquids. If your interested..go to my website www.sabrinamahupete.bodybyvi.com! You can also call me with any questions! The lapband and Body by Vi go hand and hand!

  7. I guess I am in the same boat as everyone else. I was banded on the 6th of November and it is really hard to say focused and drink liquids. I stopped the liquid diet after 1 week and went to soft foods. If I didnt do that I was well on my way to stuffing myself with sugary foods. My first fill is in 4.5 weeks and I cant wait. I guess I will have to be strong and look to this website for support to keep me going!
  8. How do you get the weight loss ticker to work?? It keeps saying invalid file when I try!
  9. Looks like we are getting banded on the same date! What time do you go in?
  10. YIPEEEEEEEEE! YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAW! Just got approval from insurance.....getting banded on 6th of November! I am soooo excited! Life as I know it will change so much! I am going to buy a full length mirror tomorrow!
