Topic: RE: Poll: How many ounces can you eat at one time?
Well, 8oz is one cup..so would be about "average". Will post it on the lap band board, thanks! Sam
Topic: RE: Poll: How many ounces can you eat at one time?
You'll probably get more responses if you post this on the lapband board. However it sounds like a bit much, it's hard to tell because I think most of us go by cups not oz. A standard bandster size seems to be 1-1 1/2 cups of food but some folks only do 1/2 cup and stop even if they don't feel full. I can only eat 2-3 oz. of solid protein like meat som it depends on the density too.

Topic: Poll: How many ounces can you eat at one time?
Hi all, my name is Sam, and I was banded in September 2007; doc is Rob Landerholm, in Edmonds. I think I'm at my "sweet spot" in regards to fills (I have 3.4cc in a 4cc/10cm band), and can only eat about 8oz at a time...for example, I just had a thick potato/veggie/chicken pureed soup for dinner, and I'm stuffed. How many can you comfortably eat at one time? Am curious.

Topic: RE: Protein Shakes without milk
Thank you, Michelle. This is great information. I was under the impression that whey is a milk product. Could you tell me where you find you meal replacements. I was told super supplements is a good place to shop. Thanks again, Theresa
Topic: RE: Protein Shakes without milk
I haven't used milk since 1994. I have about 100 proteins that shake up in water. Some are perfect that way, some do a little better in a lil water + a lil ice, blended with a Magic Bullet or hand blender.
Any of these are what I use:
1.) Gaspari Myofusion double chocolate or chocolate peanut butter OR a combo of those 2 with 6-8 oz water + about 1/2 **** I use a Magic Bullet or a hand blender. Full sized blenders double the size of my drink and make me burp too much! Using this method, I get a thicker or thinner Wendy's Frosty type drink, depending on the ice/water ratio
2.) Champion Pure Whey Stack choco + 6-8 oz water, shaken.
3.) IDS vanilla-cinnamon + "glop" of DaVinci sugar free caramel sauce + 8 oz water + ice, blended.
4.) the PWS chco + the van-cin (50/50) in about 10 oz ho****er, stirred or
hand blender.
They deliver 30g protein, less than 3g sugar, less than 200 calories, when made with water.

Topic: Washington get together?

I am heading for Washington on Monday for a month. I thought it would be cool to meet some of you washington losers from OH while I am there. I am originally from Washington and still think of it as home. Maybe have some kind of get together of a few of us? I think that could be really fun. Let me know what you think?
