Wow Jamie! That is a lot of weight in a little over a month! Wonderful how quick it is coming off. Check out my site....Absolutely best protein shakes...the are really good and I was taught how to make them by a trainer when I was on vacation and I actually lost weight! Lol! Please let me know what you think. Thanks:)

Hey everyone, Who is still out there?? Let's keep this thread going for support! Any updates, good or bad!

Hey everyone! How are all you August 2009 Bandsters?! My Anniversary was 8/1/10 and I am pretty damn happy! I am not at my goal and am frustrated that it is coming off slowly, but I got rid off all my big clothes. I need to really stick with an exercise regime as I do well for awhile, then I just stop! Very frustrating my behavior is! I am afraid I will get comfortable and regain. I need to remember that this is a lifelong process! Anyway,,,I would love some updates....

Debra, I am gonna tell you what a woman told me who had this surgery 3 years before I did and lost all of her weight and is doing well....Call him today, even though his office is closed! He is working for you, not the other way around. If he is a good doctor, he would want you to. I think it is dangerous to wait another 2 days if you are feeling this lousy...Sorry if I am sounding pushy, but I care and I have had my share of good and bad doctors. It is best to find out beforehand which one you have! Please take care!

Wow Debra, I am not a doctor but it sure sounds like you are allergic to whey. Check out this website.....Symptoms of Allergy to Whey | eHow.com I checked your profile and don't really understand why he is insisting on an all liquid diet right now. Your surgery is Aug 4th and I guess he is trying to ensure the all goes well and to shrink your liver down beforehand. He definitely has you on a liver shrinking diet but from all the research I have done on this website and through my doctor and others, your bmi is pretty low for such a drastic diet. Usually, if you begin with a bmi of 40 to 50 I have seen this. Why can't you get Protein from lean meats or eggs and Fiber from steamed veges? Call him today and tell him what is going on with you physically. And if you aren't satisfied, get a second opinion. Trust your instincts. If he talks down to you (unfortunately, some have power issues), find another doctor. You are worth it! Let us know how you are doing!

I just tried the lemon cream pie shake but substituted 1/2 tsp lemon extract and used sf instant vanilla pudding instead of sf lemon pudding. It was great and it really reminded me of eating a lemon cream pie!

I know when people read the ingredients they flip out but if they do the workout, they will NOT gain weight! If that were true, then I would not have gone from 168 to 151 since drinking the shakes! I am glad you liked the chocolate mint! Thanks for the input!

Your welcome! Anyone, please let me know if you have tried any of the shake recipes and if so, did you like them? Thanks!

PS: ALL SHAKE RECIPES LISTED ABOVE CAN ONLY USE INSTANT PUDDING MIXES! I tried the cook and serve and it totally RUINED THE SHAKE!

Couldn't agree with you more bambam!
