That's awesome Mystic! I think I'm finally figuring out a few things about the band too. It only took me almost seven months! It's good to get support and connect with other bandsters and keep up the motivation. If something gets stuck, maybe try to chew it more or eat it slower. If that happens to me, it doesn't always mean I can't eat it again. Keep going!!

Suzz, all I have to say is WHOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Welcome to Twoterville!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night I went to a dinner that my fill center (Northwest Fill Management in Arlington, WA) was hosting. I LOVE them.....they are so awesome! We had a naturopathic doctor speaking, and I learned a lot. I wish I had met someone living remotely close to me. I may have to start letting people know I am banded in hopes of not feeling like an island. lol

I also have been re-reading my bandster rules. No more liquid calories for me...and the includes Protein Shakes. Done...finito! Three solid meals, my supplements and water! I hope that will get the scale moving.

THanks all for the congrats! I just couldn't BELIEVE it! I stood there looking at the numbers on the scale until they faded off. The only real reason I hopped on a 2nd time was to see it again, which is when it said 301. Lol. I'll try it again in the morning and see what it says then!!

O2B - No Protein Shakes? !?! Lol. I don't think I can live without them anymore. I totally rely on them in the mornings, cause I'm so tight in the mornings... actually, if I make them thick like a malt (lots of ice!) I have trouble with them going down. Its a sad sad thing to be driving down the road sliming on a freaking Protein shake!!

Target has those big exercise balls on sale for only $9. I bought one. Already did my first workout with it - BLOWING IT UP! It comes with a foot pump.. I"m exhausted!

Suzzzie I am with you on Protein Shakes in the morning. I am way too tight in the morning to eat anything. Though it does seem like after I have the shake though I can eat anything.

OMG! So, I get on the scale this moring, as I do nearly every morning... and I about peed on myself! For the first time since I was about 18 years old it was UNDER 300! It said 299.3!!!!

Of course I had to ruin that lovely moment by stepping back on it a 2nd time... which said 301.6... Lol. Either way, I'm THRILLED!! It's just what I needed this morning!!

YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! I am so happy for you, Suzzzie!!!! You are doing amazing! Welcome to Two-derville!!

No on the Protein Shakes for me. I'm going back to the bandster rules I was given when I had surgery. Three solid meals, no snacking, lots of Water. I'm going to try and make my band work for me. I have a good list of Protein foods, and I think I have the right amount of restriction to let me eat enough of it to get good nutrition. Who knows, I may not need to tweak my fill. Hey, whatever works for you, keep doing it!!

[bigbaby 4]

o2b--would you share the list of high Protein foods?

thx
