I was banded on Dec 20, 2012. In the past 5 days, I have noticed that I am getting hungry much quicker than I used to. I say about every 2 1/2 hours. That was not the case until this past week. Is this normal? I have my first month appointment on Jan 30th and this will be my first opportunity for a fill. Comments please . . .

At the end of this month I will be able to start exercising. I am lookinf for some ideas. I do enjoy a gym but do not want to sign any contracts. I also may consider Zumba or something like it. I need to get out of the house, so please make suggestions that allow for that. I would like hearing what others have found interesting and have had results with. My goal is to be able to start canoeing or kayaking this summer. I was banded in Dec 2012 and have lost about 22 lbs since from my pre-op starting weight of 292lbs

What if a Fitbit? Does it count your steps?
