Share ideas, What did you eat today ?



Recommended Posts

Many months ago I discovered a drinkable Vitamin that's part of the Isotonix nutraceutical family. I wanted to try it out for a while before I posted anything about it. Well I feel the time has come to share this product with others. Isotonic means 'same pressure'. When you drink this vitamin (it's a powder that you mix with certain amount of water) the solution takes on the same pressure as your blood sweat and tears so your body absorbs almost all of the nutrients within minutes via the small intestine. It also tastes great. I am also taking the anti-oxidant and I feel great. I have lots of energy and my immune system seems stronger than ever because I can't remember the last time I got sick. If anyone would like more info about my experience please let me know. The website is isotonix.marketamerica.com/shopjdr

Just curious what you ate today ? Maybe those who are getting banded would also find it interesting to see examples of what we are eating to be sucessful . I will start

I so need help guys- I've been looking at this board again and it's so foreign to me now! I've completly stopped eating the 'bandster way'!!!! I really need to get back in to see if my band isn't completly screwed up. I literally eat whatever I want and if it gets stuck I just go throw it up and move on. I don't even think twice about 'hmm wonder if this will get stuck' I just eat first think second. I started at almost 300 and got down to 203 at my lowest the summer before last. Then I had a baby and gained about 40. I lost it all after I had the baby and was down to 208- my baby is now 9months old and I'm 228!!! I've gained 20lbs! I'm back to work and I just eat crap all day!! I dont' know how to wrap my mind around eating like this again. I got so sick of thinking about everything that went into my mouth and counting calories. Just looking at what you have all posted is daunting to me. I'm so busy working full time and with two kids now that I think of myself last and the last thing I want to do is put a bunch of time and energy into what I'm eating. I know I need to but it is just feeling overwhelming right now.....

WHAT ARE THESE drinks YOU ARE HAVING? AND HOW ARE YOU NOT HUNGRY? :(

The Protein food I eat is called Proti. I get it from prescriptionsforwellnes.com

I love them cause most everything has 15 grams of Protein in them (which fills me up). They range from 50 to 100 calories per drink, Soup, shake or entree.

And when I am having a sweet tooth, I have one of the Protein Bars. Which also have 15 grams of protein and between 130 and 170 calories each.

Since we need to have so much protein every day, I have just found it easier to stick with Proti food to reach that daily goal.

If you choose to start eating this food. Let me know, I can give you all kinds of tips and tricks.

I checked out the site- I will look more into it later tonight- I don't know if you saw my previous post but I've completly fallen off the "band"wagon and I'm not eating the 'bandster' way. I bet I don't get nearly the amount of protien that we need. ANd actually I'm so out if it and the ins and outs of the bad I've completly forgotten whi it is we are even suppose to make sure we get all of that protien in everyday? Is it because we 'eat less'? because i dont! I've so become a pig again! anyhow I'm just trying to get my head around getting my act together. and I will look into the site/food you told me about. it really fills you up?.....

thanks! MB

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
