I would like to hear from some Texarkana Bandsters about their experiences. re: doctors, pre and post surgery, and how things are going for them now. I am considering the lap band.

Glo, don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone goofs up. Just start over the next day. You have to take it day by day and work hard on it. It's a long term thing, but you still have to work hard every day to get to that goal. so..... we are all here to support you. :cheer2:

Thanks, Boo (Lisa). You are right and sometimes it just feels good to hear it.

So what are the protein bullets you mentioned? Anyone???

Good morning everyone! Hope all is well with you this morning

Priss, go to the noscales website and click on e-store. Then, I think you have to go to post-op stuff. Just look around. There are some vials (i think they are 3 oz.) that pack a lot of protein in them. lo2us has bought some, maybe she can tell you a lot more about them. You might be able to check at the health food stores for some.

Yall have a good day!

i have bought some protein powder at walmart. it is pretty good with a scoop of fat free choc ice cream and a cup of ff milk. I bought the vanilla flav protein. Walmart doesnt have the protein bullets. I guess I can add the protein scoop to anything that is cold. I dont know about something hot. I heard it would curdle up. LOL

I bought the Nectar from the website. I haven't tried the bullets. The Nectar is sorta like Kool-Aid, but with a funy smell. I would like to try the bullets though!

I will say that I'm disappointed that the company has YET to send my biotin. I ordered it WAY back!

I think I would be giving someone a call about it. There should be no reason for them to be back ordered or out of stock on something like that. Call and give them grief about it.

Oh! I forgot to tell everyone..... I AM NOT HUNGRY!!! and haven't been for a couple of days now. I tried to drink a slime fast this mornin and couldn't drink half. I reckon my band is finally doing its job. Hip, Hip, Horray! Yippee, Yahoo! after nine months, it's working. lol ^j^

GO! GO! GO! LISA! HURRAY 4 U! That's a great feeling huh....

:whoo:Way to go Lisa!!!!!!!

Thanks for the input everyone. Hope you all have a great week-end.

great lisa ! ! . You know i am ready for that feeling. But.. it is getting better with the eating now and moving around. I saw some papya enzme at walmart, had to go ahead and get it for later on. I guess I think walmart should have everything I could possibly need. Now i have the biotin, and papya enzme and some protein powder, just not the bullets. , anything else I need? Of course, I had to break down and buy some benefiber. LOL. Ya'll are such great support and full of info for me. Thanks again for it. I even got to move my ticker today.

Way to go Teresa. (on the ticker) I think you are probably set for a while, unless you think of something else you just have to have. lol What about liquid Tylenol? Got that?

Where have you been Genia? Glad to see you post!!!!!! I guess that is just about the best feeling ever and I hope it stays there for a while!!! Took me long enough to get there. :waytogo:
