Good Morning Debra! B: 1/4 c riccotta cheese with cinammon and splenda L: 1/3 c cream of wheat with skim milk D: 2 oz tofu simmered in soy sauce and garlic (YUM!) 48 oz water, 2 oz apple juice, 2 mulitvits, 3 viactive, 100mcg b12 The Viactive is very good but it does have sugar in it!! I haven't dumped on it, and figured everyone else had been taking it and tolerating it, so I went for it. so far so good....I did order the BA chocolate cal citrate on line, so when that comes, I'll switch over. Enjoy this lovely day! Hugs, Amy

Amy, Yeah i really like to Viactiv and for a change I might use it again in the future but for right now I am sticking with just the Calcium Citrate.....I had a big box of the Viactiv that someone gave me a while back and did not want to let it go to waste and well they really do taste good. But the Citrate is really better for us now. You will like the BA choc citrate....the choc flavor in it is from Hershey so it is really good to suck on. Just like a treat. So how are you feeling now hun? Still bloated? I hated that, that was the worse part of the whole thing. Take care Debra P

Hi Debra! Congrats on being so close to goal, that's AWESOME! I got my 3rd fill yesterday. I have more in there than I thought, 2.5 ccs. At certain times I am now only eating a "Bandster" portion or at least closer to it... 3 ounces of food. 3-4 ounces of Lentil soup from Trader Joe's. Isopure drink Lentil soup again but probably about 6 ounces or so. Kristine

Kristine, Hello hun and thanks for your kind words. ~hugs~ I am glad you are doing well and keeping up with the fills. I do not know that much about the banding but do you feel it right away that you get full faster? Can you notice it when you leave the office or does it take a while to feel it?... Debra P

I pretty much feel the fills right away, but from what I've heard, it could take a week or two to feel the full effect of them. On my first fill, I felt it when we went to the mall after my appointment. The soup I ordered was filling, which made me excited. On my 2nd fill, the surgeon had me to do a sip test to see if the water stayed down after 5 minutes. It came back up a little bit as I was pulling out of the parking lot, but I left anyway, and was ok. This time, I really felt the fill right away. Some surgeons tell you to stay on liquids for 2 days,after fills but not mine. I am sticking with the softer stuff mostly liquids just to be cautious. I am down 71 pounds by their scale. She said I am the "poster child for the lap band" LOL
