BBK how did you know what I needed? I am so up for this. I will be buying some Protein tomorrow. Because I have a lot of preparing to do for this I am going to start on thursday. However I will be back at the gym on monday.

Part of my epic stall has been due to not properly preparing for the inevitable hunger. I am going to plan this final push to goal out carefully.

Thanx for this post, I am ready to continue what I started with this band.

And some PBing on that crow, perhaps? :tongue_smilie:

Oh the hilarity! :)

I will start today. I was only 1.5 pounds from losing my goal of 80 pounds before the new year. I have gotten off track and gained 2 pounds. So I have 3.5 to lose in just a few days.

Good luck to everyone.

WOW, this is just what I needed. I'm an older bandster banded in July of 07. I didn't necessarily fall off the bandwagon, but a terrible fall in May of this year has really taken a toll on my excercising, and my eating habits. I'm still down 60 pounds, I think, haven't been on the scale in a while to see, but I need to lose about another 25 pounds to goal.

If you all don't mind I'd love to join this thread, and I'm thinking of starting liquids today, no time like the present to give me a jump start and try to get in as much activity as I can.

This is not easy, and we all still struggle here and there, it's just nice to know that even after a year and a half I can still come back to Lapband talk and get the support I need to get back on track in the new year.

Thanks to everyone here, and best of luck to all of us in the new year.:tongue_smilie:

Ok ladies, so I've updated my ticker, and my weight. I've went up 7 pounds since my last post, probably in June of this year, but that's ok. I'm back on track and heading in the right direction again.

Luluc, I usually just have the chocolate peanutbutter, but the cheesecake pudding sounds really good too. I'll have to try it.

What kind of pudding mix do you use and is it sugarfree?

I just use Water with my chocolate Protein Powder, and add ice and peanutbutter. How many calories approximately does your 8 oz shake have?

Thanks for the recipe, and about being honest- well, if I can't be honest here with all of you, then I can't be honest with myself either, so it's a start for me, and thanks!

Lynette

I'm in. I am sick and tired of not losing the way I want to. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that I am losing. I just know that I could be doing so much better. I am going to get my unflavored Protein after work. Which unflavored protein powder is REALLY unflavored?

i use jell-o sugar free cheesecake pudding mix.

the shake is approx 240 calories, which may be high - however they hold me a good 4+hrs.

just made a butterscotch one with vanilla soy Protein & jell-o SF butterscotch pudding mix. i get bored w/shakes so i have to mix them up a bunch.:tongue_smilie:

Sounds great, and the calories aren't bad at all. My shakes end up being 205 calories just with the Protein powder and 1 tbsp of peanutbutter. I like to add banana in once in a while, and they do last me a few hours too.

I use Jay Robbs unflavored powder, but I think it has a slight flavor depending on what you use it in. I can't taste it creamed Soups, but can see it in broth Soups, therefore I can taste it more. I can't use it shakes, I prefer the vanilla or chocolate, but I can put it in cottage cheese, yogurt, and can eat it without noticing a huge difference.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
