Congratulations! I'm aiming for 100 also. I'm at 45 now and have until March 18. Way cool picture Btrieger!!

Great job!

OMG!!! I've done a lot of Muscle Milk since the beginning of March. Thanks so much for sharing this info!

hey rheaosun...check out the website I put up above. Today is day 3 for me & I lost 5 lbs in 2 days. I'm back on track!!

I LOVE Muscle Milk (light) It tastes like a chocolate Yoo-hoo. It is only 100 calories & a bunch, like 30% protein. It is a lifesaver. I get it at Target & Wal-Mart.I start out every day with 1/2 pot of coffee w/skim milk. 1 Muscle Milk at 11:00 and 1:00. Tomato soup at 4:00 & 6:30. I have a couple of Slenderize FUZE drinks. They are super awesome, 10 calories & some vitamins. Right now I am hungry, but I'd be hungry if I ate a full meal at 6:30!! I am super happy that I've done this for 2 days. I'm going to post tomorrow to let you know what I did for 2 days of liquids. It's CRAZY that I can not eat for 2 days, but on some days still try to way overeat.

Thanks! Her web address is kayebailey@livingafterwls.com

Banded on 3/18/2010. 1st fill for a total of 5cc in my 14cc band. Don't really have any kind of restriction, can eat bread. I've lost the same 3 pounds, back & forth for about 3 weeks. I am a right brained artist who has never followed any rule unless maybe I saw a police car behind me, then I'd slow down!! So, being banded for not too long, I've just been eating what ever I wanted thinking that because I didn't eat that much that I'd magically lose weight. :blush:So I started the 5 Day Pouch Test. Day 1 yesterday, all liquids. AT 6:00 PM I was ready to eat the whole world! Stayed strong & didn't eat. This morning I was down 3, for a new total of 45 pounds.:thumbup:It's almost 6:00 & I'm hungry & going to make tomato soup. The weird thing is that it is easier for me to not eat at all than to stop myself from overeating with the band. Do you ever feel that way????

Try Muscle Milk. I get mine at Target. It is delicious!!! It tastes kinda like a yoo-hoo. It is 100 calories & has I forget, but about 40% protein.

Thank you so much for your responses! I am so thankful for this website and everyone who takes time to help each other!

I am so frustrated & confused! I was banded 3/18/2010. Including a 10 day liquid diet I lost 30# very quickly. I've been at this current weight for about a month. I called my dr. office to schedule my 1st fill. When I went Thurs. I was mentally prepared for it & ready to have restriction & not be able to eat so much. The dr. said that he does his fills in a hospital with x-rays. I can't go for 2 weeks because I'm a teacher. School's almost out & we can't take time off. :cursing:I've been reading for 2 months on this site about how everyone seems to get theirs done in the dr.'s office? I'm upset about 1. waiting 2. if my ins will cover it.

Congratulations! I was banded 3 weeks ago & I've been doing the same thing. It feels great!

You have to try Muscle Milk!! It is awesome!! Sold at Target & Foodworld, probably lots of other places. It is 100 cal., 45% protein, not a milk product & tastes DELICIOUS!!! The unjury made me gag!!! I was so glsd I only spent money on 3 little samples.

You are exercising, U R doing better than me. I have had beginner's luck I think. As of today I have 4 weeks behind me. 10 days liquid pre-op, surgery, liquuids & now mushy stuff. I have lost 31 1/2 so far. I know it can't go on like this much longer!! Question - so you don't get that dumping syndrome when you eat cookies & ice cream??

I completely understand your problem. I teach 2nd grade. I have had a princpal from hell for about 5 years. If you're not a teacher you can't understand the complete & toal power a principal has. I won an official grievence with the union. The principal retired in May, 1 month afer I won my grievance. I didn't know it but my union rep screwed up by not getting it in writing. Because I had not been in that type of situation before I just assumed the union would take care of it. I thought that's what I paid all of my dues for. My new principal said she had nothing in writing, and there was no big room open, so she really couldn't do anything.So, I am still stuck in the same horrible little room. I was put there because my principal was PSYCHO. I got put on the hit list because a a girl in my room had sexually inappropriate things done to her on the playground. They were great parents & we had a terrific relationship. They were horrified & the their girl was white & the offender was a black boy. The Resource Officer got called in. That pissed off my psych principal. She told me that "She needed to keep a close eye on me" and moved me & my class to this crummy LITTLE room in the middle of 2nd quarter. So I understand your situation. You can not demand your legal rights or you can be screwed so bad. My suggestion is to make an appointment & plead your case one on one. Good luck!
