sf pudding works best for me...... I will open a pudding using 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of the pudding, depending on how much I have to take. Almost no after tast pill get suspended in the pudding. then i wrap up the extra and use it next day until gone.... could eat it with a whole sf pudding depending on you calorie goals that day:smile:

yes but don't worry people get bored or lose intrest with your weight loss after awhile, for about 5 months I was asked by someone everyday about my weight, it has been a few weeks now from the last time I was asked

If I were her I would get some fluid removed, I had the same problem few months ago and had .3 cc's taken out it helped but everyone is diffrent.

I ate at olive garden the other day I had a grilled chicken caesar salad it was very good ate most of the chicken and a little salad:thumbup:

on clear liquids i made homemade chicken broth soooo good to have something not sweet!

I eat 1/4 to a full cup per meal depending on the day and how tight I feel, I eat what I want (that I am able to eat with my restriction level) protein first until i am full then I stop I don't push it. I am unable to eat rice and bread and pasta and few others not because i dont want to or have not tried I am just unable to eat them without pain so I dont...... hope that helps..... before restriction I ate more

I often eat more than 4oz of food. How often do you work out? are you getting all your water? protein first helps me to get full..... some people have to get a full band to have restriction we are all so diffrent. what are you cals. for the day? too much or too little can stall weight loss.

we have the same doctor..... I am still insearch of protein I like so I usually add bananas or PB to add flavor. for premade ones I do the ones from costco 30 grams protein 160 cals

thanks but I got it to work thank you much!

sorry I am at work the computer will not let me msg from here.

Don't give up I felt that way too but it was the best thing I have ever done for myself!

I would love any or all you will send me!!!! I need some new protein I can give adress in email or private msg, this is very nice of you!

Amen Astrasmom!

awesome HDmama it is hard work but it gets easier to make "good" choices! great job!!

how is everyone!

All doctors and people are different i am 6 months out and unable to drink soda. A few weeks ago i grabed my girlfriends drink by accident and was in pain right away. I miss soda but not enough to go through the pain.Also I am self pay and would hate to mess up my band by drinking soda anyway

hard to believe it has been 6 months hope everyone one is well!

5 days a week sometimes 7 days :thumbup: it's crazy to me I never worked out my whole life I still hate it lol but I am doing it

congrats!!! me too just hit it this week!

Just excited and wanted to share! I hit 198.4 this weekend at just under six months out sooooo happy, I love my band! started at 269.9 lbs in sept.09 banded 10/16/09. I hit a stall for a couple weeks then stepped up and have been getting up at 3am to get my work outs in every day, I work at 5am and wasnt getting it in after work life seemed to get in the way lol.It is hard to get up at 3am but so woth it!

my fill level has helped me to not be able to eat stuff I shouldn't for the most part. how is you restriction?

I felt that way at first but it went away.

when I have a drink its vodka with diet cran..... 70 cals total...still empty cals but not high.....I can't say if you should or shoud not:wub: but thats what I like and my scale moves fine but thats me. I had lap band so I could start enjoying my lfe more and I do:thumbup:

It depends on the person I have tried beer, it causes me pain so I stay away. My band is pretty tight. If I induldge its vodka and diet cran.....70 cals.
