Lifting, It's ok if you slip up. You're a human being and all you can do when that happens is start fresh the next day. Don't beat yourself up about it We all do it honey

I'm self pay as well. I remember how good I looked and felt about myself when I lost all of the weight. I met my fiance 2 years ago so it was alot of going out to eat I guess love does make you fat.

Paragirl, I'm glad I inspired you I have been a bad bandster in the 4 years I've had my lapband. I originally lost 80 lbs and have gained almost all back. It hit me the most when I went to Florida a few weeks ago and needed a seatbelt extension and I was like what am I doing to myself. I'm just now realizing after 4 years that it is indeed a lifestyle change. It will not work by itself. I'm going to continue to post every single day until I hit my goal. I'm so glad that it inspired you to do the same. Keep it up!

Eat the one that tastes better. If you have to eat 2 fiber one yogurts to get the protein then do it atleast it's only 50 calories each. The greek yogurt can be anywhere from 90-130 calories. The strawberry tastes better for sure.

Lifting chic. Yes I have tried the honey greek one and the strawberry. The only difference to me is that greek yogurt is a little more sour than regular yogurt but it doesn't bother me too bad. It has a lot of protein in it so I eat it:cool:

Go to the doctor and get a fill. It takes different people a different amount of fills. You will know when you are at your sweet spot.

Sportsguy you might need a fill. How many fills have you had? And do you feel any restriction?
