  1. Hi, I was banded in April of last year. I used protein shakes from Isagenix www.thedetoxlife.com. It helped me to maintain my muscle mass and lose weight. I've also used the protein shakes kirkland brand from Costco. I like them both for my liquid days or just for the added protein. They are both really good and fullfilling. I also eat between 900-1200 calories per day depending on my activities for the day. Good luck.
  2. Hi I was went down alone and everything turned out great. I was picked up from the air port and was taken to the office. I meet Mrs. O there and she took me to the hotel. She picked me up the following day for the procedure. The staff is great and willing to help where ever they can. The day after the surgery I went downtown by myself then later with the other ladies who were banded the same day. You'll be just fine. Good luck.
  3. Thanks. I'm going to try your soup soon. I don't have the problem with cooking a meal I just don't ever have leftovers that is when my husbands around. : - ) I'm going to make a trip to Costco. I usually do a shake and fruit for breakfast and a wrap and veggies for lunch. Now I have soup to add to the mix. Again thanks. I hope to meet my goal weight by August.
  4. Thanks for your response. I had my surgery in April 07 and became pregnant 3 months later. During those three months I lost almost 30 lbs. I really changed the way I ate. My issue is I'm delivering next month and I'm looking for something that I can grab and go for breakfast. Right now I'm eating fruit and a Isagenix shake for breakfast and that serve me just fine. I've only gained 4 lbs during this pregnancy because I've been watching what I've been eating. (My baby gained 6 and is totally healthy). I would try the Costco drinks but I don't have anywhere to blend them at work and battery operated blenders don't last long. I'm just looking for something I can drink with my veggies for lunch that would keep me full until dinner. Besides I think I would rather spend the money on a ready to drink vs not having anything at all. I commend you for making your own soup. I just think it would be kind of hard for me to do with a streaming baby and a 3 and 5 yr old.
  5. Has anyone tried slim fast shakes after having lap band surgery? I'm looking for something that I can drink on the go and while at work. I've tried the shakes from thedetoxlife.com and they are pretty tasty but I have to blend them. I'm looking for a tasty shake that won't make me vomit. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks
  6. I found out I was expecting 4 month after I was banded. I am due in March and have not gained 1 pound. The baby is doing great and growing as expected but I was wondering if anyone has experienced no weight gain. During my first pregnancy I gained 20 lbs, but not 1 with this pregnancy. Please share your experience.
  7. Hello ladies, I was banded in April 07 and started the Isagenix (www.thedetoxlife.com) program in June. I believe it has really helped me to drop weight faster and maintain muscles mass. My girl friend is on her way to be banded next month and she was wondering if it was ok for her to start the program right after surgery. I suggested that she stick with the Isagenix shakes and to not bother with the snacks until she can eat solids. Has anyone tried the Isagenix product right after surgery? If so how did it work with your band? Please share so I can forward this information to her. Thanks and be blessed.
  8. Hello. I was just wondering. Has anyone tried Nutrisystem, Medifast or any other type of prepared diet programs after surgery. My sister is getting married in August 08 and I want to lose at least another 50 lbs by then. My weight has slowed a little and I just had a fill and only lost 4 lbs. I love the fact that I'm losing but I want to be able to take pictures and actually look at them later. Any suggestions?
  9. Thank you all very much. She actually read the forum with me a few minutes ago. It has been very helpful.
  10. I have a friend that was banded in TX in Feb - March timeframe. She doesn't have a support system so I figured I'll ask the question for her. She was recently banded and just found out that she was pregnant. What are the dangers or complications of getting pregnant before 18 months of being banded? I'm not sure of the type of band she has or if mine is the same as hers, since she was banded in TX. I was told with the band I have I should to wait 18 month before conceiving, but it's only been 3 or 4 months for her. She went in to have her second fill last week. Please provide any insight. I want to share any advice I can with her. She's pregnant with her third child so she thinking about an abortion. I'm trying my best to prevent that. Please share any information you have on being newly banded and pregnant. Thanks, Sha
  11. Has anyone used Dr. Trace Curry in OH for a fill? If so how was your experience?
