My nutritionist told me not to drink caffeine because it stimulates your appetite. I used to drink tea every morining, so that was a challenge. I have found some caffeine free tea that I like, but I only drink it occasionally.

I love my Wii fit plus, I do at least 30 minutes each day. I love the aerobics and stepping. The yoga is challenging but I try to do a little of that each day to warm up. I live in a cold area so it is a good way to exercise in inclement weather.

:biggrin: Stephanie you are funny! I saw your response when I was at work and I laughed and laughed!

At 3 weeks, I was down 10 pounds. When I started solid foods, my weight loss stopped, then it started again. I was worried that I was loosing weight too slowly, When I went back for my last fill (three months post surgery), I had lost 24 pounds and my doctor was very happy, they said I had lost an average of 2 pounds per week and that's what they want. I left the appointment on a cloud! I'm still lossing about 2 pounds per week and I feel good about that. Let your body heal and make good food choices, you will lose and feel good.

I just tell people the truth. So far they have been very supportive. They want to know how they can do it! If they act "funny" I just don't discuss it with them anymore.

I was banded on 7/16/2009. I used to drink one pepsi everyday at 2:00pm. I have not had one since surgery, I really don't even want one. My surgeon said no soda for 6 months, but I doubt I will ever go back. It's just not good for you and I have beat the craving.

I was banded on 7/16/2009 and I have been following my Protein requirements to a "t", about one month after surgery I noticed this sweet soft odor, but it took me until 2 weeks to figure out what it was. I smell just like the Protein shakes I drink! I have asked a couple of close friends and husband, they say they cannot smell it. However, I can no longer wear Michael Khors perfume (does not mix well with protein smell), it makes hubby sick!:tongue_smilie: Has anyone else experienced this?

I was banded on July 14th and I have lost 18 punds so far. I have had 3 fills so far. They seem to work at first and then I don't feel any restriction. I have been operating off wheel power, which is frustrating (why did I have the surgery?). I am going back for another fill next week. Hopefully I will feel restriction for longer than 2 days.

I went for my first fill two weeks after surgery and was not numbed. There was no need even that soon after surgery.
