Thanks to all of u who replied... I am on depression meds.. Maybe I'm not eating enough... I do start with protein first... Mostly eat only fish the greek yogurts and such.. Have to be honest to put anything in my mouth prior to 12n or lpm usually doesn't happen.. Not feeling hungry usually just downing a cup or two of coffee.. And yes I hadn't thought of it but I am on thyroid med and haven't had my levels checked in quite sum time!!! Will call MD for blood work and ck in with the office with my mostly likely not so good eating schedule/diet... Thanks again to u all! Lucy

Please advice. Any feedback please... I was banded on July 30th, one day shy of two months.. For the past 3 weeks maybe more.. I have been feeling weak... Now it's to the point I can barely get out of bed! Had my second fill that finally gave me restriction on 9/21... Complained to the MD who only stated I was losing weight too quickly! Down 30 since surgery 60 since I began the process 1st of Feb... I was feeling great had all this energy then all of a sudden.. A dead stop! I'm so upset, confused and feel like such a crappy wife and mom... I'm doing less now than I did at just under 400lbs!! I'm an emotional mess! and crying over this is not working either! Has anyone else had this type of an experience?? I'm no longer able to do even a min on my exercise bike, walk or even think of emerging out of my home! Where did all my energy go? I have a hard time believing what my MD stated when I see shows like biggest losers and people are dropping 30/40lbs exercising 3hrs a day and I can't even lift a leg!!! Please anyone someone Help!!! Thanks, Lucy:crying:

Wow not too many CT on here, but anyway.. Got banded on July 30th 2010 and I'm down 30lbs as of today... Total of 60 Since 1/14/10... Finally got a good size fill today.. Really feeling the restriction and loving it! Hope to meet more bandsters from CT especially anyone who lives close by where maybe we can get together work out and keep each motivated!!!

Oh gosh I hope not... Heck I'll mix it with crystal lite if I have to!! I just can not keep up with these thick ass shakes!!!!

missnursette thanks for the info... So glad to rid myself of these yucky shakes.. Just how many of those do u drink in a day... And if your think ur hungry girl i'm starving... Are these doctors madd? Hello if this was a way to lose weight I would not have to go through surgery!!!

Wickwit u never had me laugh so hard.. I'll know better next time than to read one of your post while trying to keep up with a conversation on the phone... Had my daughter n law been in front of me i would have spit in her ear!!! Can't wait for this to be over... After reading some of the other posts i'm heading to the first gnc I find for that isopure stuff anything has got to be better than these thick ass shakes!!!

it's the bariatric advantage strawberry taste picked it up at the md's office next time i'll go to walmart and by the one that has zero flavor!!

Surgery on the 30th!!! But these protein shakes!!! One word YUCK!!! For the love of god will someone please tell me how to thin this stuff out!!! Made mine with crystal lite and crushed the ice and it's foamy!!! Been sitting here 20 mins staring at the cup hoping it will evaporate... Husband is nagging me to drink up but the thickness makes me gag!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loving the fact that surgery is 15 days away.. Not loving the having to do the liquid diet.. Hoping to receive much support from this website... Lucy
