Please be very careful with " metabolism boosters " . If they contain ephedra

or ma huang they can be very dangerous. Causing high blood pressure, heart

palpitations and even death. You've come too far to make any big health

mistakes now.

Starting at about a year, I have consistently had plateaus lasting 1-2

months. Plateau, lose 5 pounds. Plateau, lose 5 pounds. It could have just

been your time to drop.

Hi Everyone,

As some of you may know I have been at 209 for over 2 months. I have

maintained a positive attitude and just plugged away hoping things

would change. A friend of mine who sells nutritional products gave me

a bottle of an all natural metabolism booster about a month ago. It

sat on my kitchen counter unopened. I got back from Florida on April

17 and weighed myself and I weighed 210. I was very upset and I

opened that bottle and I've been taking 1 in the morning and 1 in the

early afternoon everyday. I have not changed a single thing as far as

food or exercise (actually I've exercised less since I got back from

vacation). I weighed myself this morning and I weigh 201. This is a

major break through, I can't believe it!! I just got off the phone

with my friend who gave me the bottle and she wasn't the least bit

surprised. If you want more info please email me at

chealthc@...

Sincerely,

Toni Lieb

Dear Jane,

Yes, this booster does contain ephedra in a small amount, only 12 mg.

per tablet. I would suggest that anyone interested please do your

research by typing in " ephedra " in your search engine and reading the

reports both pro and con. I did that before taking this supplement. I

have no health problems and take only 24 mg. per day. The FDA has

approved up to 240 mg. per day. I take 1/10th of the FDA approved

dosage. It's not for everyone but it sure has helped me. I don't

believe it was just my time to come off my plateau.

Thank you for the warning. I will proceed with caution and I am only

taking the product when things slow down to a halt.

Sincerely,

Toni Lieb

, I am loosing inches like mad, but i gained 1 lb. I work out every break

at work on the stair climber, i walk outside and i joined the Y. I swim , i work

out on the cloud climber, I live for exercise! I love it! I eat only lunch and

dinner and a tiny, tiny breakfast of a tiny bit of oatmeal, i try to eat oatmeal

for lunch and dinner protein first salmon or chicken, broccoli, salad. i know i

am doing good on my diet and I am loosing inches so the number on the scale is

just a number..i am so healthy and happy..that is what counts! my fill is at 6.5

and I rarely ever get hungry, it is just stubborn belly fat. i have lost 60 lbs.

but in a perfect world i would like to loose another 60 and be 140 lbs. at 5'6''

that would be good..keep on truckin'...love,

Sandy,

First off...thanks for the reminder on the phone numbers. I completely

forgot those are in my signature. I will be more mindful of that.

How long banded?

Since June 26,2008.

what band?

My surgeon refers to it as a " standard " 10 cc

what fill level?

7.0 cc

last fill?

2 days before Thanksgiving (sorry...I don't have my calendar handy)

are you being serious about exercise?

Yes, I went out and bought a exercise bike. I have been doing 3-5 miles

a day (I can only manage 1-2 miles at a time... I am working my way up, at

the beginning I was only able to do 5 minutes at a time) I was also doing

an hour of water aerobics 2-3 times a week.

Avoiding all liquid calories?

Yep... water only (with Crystal Light)

Choosing good band foods and not soft, liquid, or high-cal stuff?

I am very mindful of what I put in my mouth. I do not eat anything that

has over 5 grams of fat per serving. I also am careful of my carb counts.

Meeting the 80-100 oz a day need for bno-cal liquiuds?

Yes, I am.

Meeting , pretty well, the daily protein, fiber, calcium, omega 3 oil needs?

Yes there too.

I have only lost one pound in the past 7 weeks. I have been charting on

the daily plate, so I know I am not under estimating my food.

I just have no idea what to do, I am so frustrated.

Hi Sandy,

I was banded 11/18. I lost 6lbs pre diet and 16lbs after surgery.

Can you e-mail the plateau buster diet....I'm sure I'll need it.

bjett_bosley@...

I'm also on the bonecancer web site. Any idea how I can update my

signature for the smart banders?

, thanks - wow, this is excellent !! good for you!! you're

clearly very serious about doing well. the only possible thing I can

ask is if you are meeting the 1200-1500 cal a day that is a good goal

for most women.

you're also doing good exercsie - but NOT a huge amount that would

require a lot more calories to avid the stall associated with

the " starvation mode. " .

Just about perfect, as far as i can see! :-)

I am not sure if you mean the 10 cc VG band, or the new 10 cc AP

band - but 7 cc is a fair fill for both. It could be too little or

too much for YOU, though - depending on if you can eat solid meats,

with good attention to quality, nice bandster cooking, and chewing

extremely well. You need to be able to handle meats, since the PBD is

mainly (ideally) solid protein. Let us know if there are any

problems.

the PBD is ideal for people where you are. It should really jump-

start your loss again.

I've posted it in the files here, so please take a look. if you have

trouble printing or seeing it, please mail me at

moonshadow.Sandy@ ..com and i'll sen you a hard copy.

for the the other Sandy too!

good luck!

, I DO care. So there is a bit of tough love here sometimes! :-)

So - skipping breakfast is not good, and a rushed lunch isn't either.

Losing is not th goal of banding - the goal is reclaiming our health.

This means adopting and improving health habits! You're doing great

with many of them - but i still have to give you a gentle kick.

" 4 kinds of vits' are not needed, but ONE of he BAND vitamins and the

other band supplements is a very good idea. please see the vitamin

info in the files here for more.

You've lost great! but we have all lost before, then regained becuase

we lost in a poor way. to keep the weight off and not hurt our

metabolism even more, we need to eat regularly, enough, and meet

nutrition needs. FEELING great is always wonderful - but that often

doesn't indicate what is going on inside with nutrition and health.

that was just a little tiny kick! :-)

Hi, Beth - welcome!! Sure glad you found us! :-)

I'd prefer to send you and work with you on the plateaux-buster diet

when and if you need it. You're far from needing it now - it is for

those with a good fill, exercising well, eating appropriately, and at

least several months out - but stalled anyway.

For now, lets help you learn more about your band and it's care, so

you can do great an hopefully not even need any weight loss jump

starts.

You're doing grear already! Sounds as if you won't even need a fill

for a good while, which is fine.

When you can , go over some of the teaching materials in the files

and links - some may be a bit different than what YOUR doc wants, so

feel free to ask or question anything.
