I say leave the slimfast alone. I think the slimfast is a waste of calories have an few eggs scrambled with cheese instead for breakfast. Salad with meat for lunch and some kind of vegetable with chicken or steak for dinner. have the celery for a mid morning snack and an apple for a mid afternoon snack. don't forget a string cheese or yogurt for your dairy. If you're still hungry eat more protien. You'll be where you need to be in no time. Hope this helps.:hungry:

I was in onederland and fell off the wagon and ended up in twoterville again. But this morning I am officially onederful again

Have you tried stewed meats? Maybe that will be easier to get down. I have only lost 20lbs and I was banded the day after you. I drink while I am eating though so I am working on that.

Unfortunately for me I do it all the time that's why I am not losing like I should be.

I took it for the first time today and I literally had to force myself to eat lunch...Sooo it works great for me!!:clap2:

I ordered two bottles of the quickslim30 and I can't wait to try it. Especially if it works as well for me as it did for you.

Audrey how much do you pay for the quickslim30? I checked the website and it was $49 for a 30 day supply.

Audrey, how big are the slim quick pills? I bought some zantrex and they were huge so I took them back to the store. I need something for energy and to curb my sweet tooth. They seem to be working for you.

It feels like I want more success and scary b/c I don't want to sabotage it...

Thanks everyone, I needed to get across that hump to motivate myself again.

:clap2: ONEDERLAND!!!! As of this morning!!!! Raynie, If you need another vote...go! Be positive and pray that everything will go well.

Thanks. LOL, I do that too...wait until my weight passes my ticker again before I change it.

:clap2: ONEDERLAND!!!!!!! As of this morning.

Tulips, I have Beechstreet (Preferred Benefit Administrators) Needless to say they are OK with me

Veronica, I can't do the onions any more either...my husband is glad for that cause he didn't like them anyway now he doesn't have to worry about me cooking with them anymore. lol Gold thimble it sounds like you have all of the back-up that you need to at least get the ball rolling (co-morbidities and prior weightloss programs) I only had one co-morbidity (borderline hypertention)and weight loss programs with a BMI of 37 and I got approved. Good Luck!

I try to get one everytime I go. My doc charged a $600 fee for vitamins and supplements and all the fills you need within the first year are included. He trys to schedule them for every 6 weeks, but I make my appts for every 4. I have been able to get one every time. I may let it go 5 weeks this time just cause I didn't do well the first week after the last fill so I need to play catch up.

Adipex, but I am almost out and I don't know what to take after that. I don't think I can get another prescription with them knowing that I have the band now.

Audree, are you still using the appetite suppressant? I find that I don't lose unless I do. I can't eat as much but my tastes are pretty much the same. So if I don't use something to curb the sweet tooth and cut my appetite a little I just stay the same or go up and down 3-5lbs.:faint:

The weather here in Florida is a high of 75 and low of 54. I think I've forgotten what it means to be really cold.

I feel I could have lost more by now but I had a hard time not drinking w/or after my meals. (still struggling a little w/ that now) Also, eating starches. I can do well with a lot of planning ahead, but I haven't been doing that either. Most of my meals are spur of the moment or what ever is available. I am eating a lot less just not the right stuff obviously.

Hello everyone, I have a bad habit of 'cheating' with drinking after I eat...I was doing well for a little while but it is a very hard habit to break.:faint:

I asked the doc why the liquids after the fill...he said to jumpstart the weight loss again. But all that happened was that I lost a couple of lbs then gained it back plus some when I started eating real food again.

I feel a little bit of restriction, but I can eat anything just not alot. Bread, bagels- no problem. I need to feel like I hear people talk about taking three bites and can't eat anymore.
