      I work for a famous life coach, Tony Robbins. Our company sells his own personal cleanse. It consists of raw foods-veggies, some fruit, water, green drink and supplements.

      Ashley, can you PM me the link to the product? I am looking at a Naturopathic cleanse, but would like to see some options. Thanks!

      I want to do a cleanse too.. I'd was looking at the Master Cleanse but, that seems like torture. I want to know how it went. Keep us updated.

  2. I am at 159 but want to get down to somewhere between 140-150. Thanks so much. I still have a horrible body image problem and do not see what I see in the photos in the mirror...sometimes I will see my reflection and not believe it. I will say something like, "Gosh I wish I really looked like that." How have you been doing since you flew past your goal? Feels great huh
  3. Thank you sweetie. I will reach my 2 year bandiversary in March. I hit Dr. Miranda's goal a little while ago but am aiming to lose 10 to 20 more.

  4. I would not worry. Your band can also become too tight on it's own. My band is different everyday. Keep your chin up!!
  5. Loves that the scale is still on her side.

      Hey girl I had the lapband in March 2010 and lost 70lbs and I'm at 150 and really wanting to go see Dr.Campos late Jan or early Feb and I've sent an email for a quote for upper/lower back, upper/lower ab/waist, arms and possibly thighs and mf grafting to the booty ;)...but I'm soooo anxious...I didn't see where you posted how much you paid for what you had done with him? Do you mind to share?

      you look awesome. great work

  6. From my experience I was told if you ever get acid reflux you need to go in for an unfill immediately. This happened to a friend of mine when we went to visit the OCC. Good luck.
  7. Just as Lisa said, we all go through it. I have freaked myself out many times before but I usually worry about streching my pouch. I have gone and had it checked and was told just to concentrate on taking smaller bites because taking too big of bites can irritate your band.
  8. I had mine checked too and the Dr. told me not to worry. I also think that I notice it is there more so when I atcually thinka bout having a band. I am sure you are fine. I worry about a lot of things and am lucky I am so close to the OCC.

  9. Dr. Campos and his staff are amazing. I have never had any problems with communication of cleanliness of his Surgery center.
  10. I still have a problem with my body image, but I must realize pictures do not lie.

      I take a Gummy Multi Vitamin, but I feel I have some kind of deficiency. I am going to try adding Calcium and Iron. Thanks everyone.

      Honestly i am just going through this and they are a little more expensive but look into an all natural vitamin from a health store. They have the extra vitamin bd, and omegs 3 that a person needs. i couldnt believe the difference a vitamin change made

      powder vitamins to mix in water..like emergen C. I keep them in my pocket to help me not forget!

  12. has to concentrate on better eating. I have been only eating about 400-500 calories a day and no water. No wonder why I have been so weak...

      oh no...bad girl!! (i should talk, I haven't been doing great with my H20)

      it is hard, but we need to hydrate and consume enough calories. It keeps me busy all day (or so it seems) if I am not eating I am waiting for the time to pass so I can start drinking again to be able to get enough liquids in. Somehow however, it is absolutely not the worse problem to have considering the benefit

  13. I am not sure if you were referring to me or not, but I had mentioned how Dr. Acosta and my friends and family tell me I do not need to lose anymore weight. Body image is a huge ordeal to me. I will never have the perfect body nor do I dream about having one. I struggle with what I think other people see and what I think I see when I look in the mirror. I am 165, wear a size small shirt and just purchased my first size 6 skirt this weekend. I was so excited that I told one of my gf's about it. She then told my really thin gf's I bought a size 6 and I just felt weird. I felt like they were looking at me like, "yeah right, your a size 6?" One of them even mentioned that she wears a size 4. Of course my next statement was "Oh, Express must run big then." I think it is going to take a long time to catch up mentally, but I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who feels like this.
  14. I only have problems when I try to take 2 or 3 pills at once.
  15. Awesome, I just placed an order for some new ones. Buy 1 Get 1, I just couldn't pass up. That is what I did for my original order when the bullet first came out.
  16. put on size 7 jeans this morning!!

      wow, even at my skinniest in jr high I never wore a size 7, that rocks.

  17. Just keep positive thoughts and you will be where you want to be. I am so proud of your determination. You have come so far from your pre-op days. Just look back and think about all of the changes you have gone through. Not everyone can be so strong.

  18. I was there yesterday and I was in line for 2 hours.
  19. was not able to get another fill. Dr. Acosta says I have lost what I can with the band and must rely on exercise. I need to push myself and come up with a new routine.

      Wow, that is the first I have heard of being as low as you can get by being banded. Can I ask how much u lost, I can tell by the pics it has been quite a bit, (you look awesome).

      I will be the first to admit it, but I lost 80 lbs with very little exercise. I hate exercising but I know it is something I am going to have to dedicate myself to for the rest of my life. The Dr. said that I do not need to lose anymore weight because I have already hit Dr. Miranda's goal weight but if I do I need to do it with exercise. I guess 2.2 cc's is where my happy place is.
