elcee, i really can't thank you enough.

i needed a kick in the pants. sometimes doctors make the WORST patients,

first things first, no drinking with meals.

and then, I will take advice from others in terms of trying just a Protein Drink in the am and tea. Glad to hear others have had similar taste experiences,

I think this site is going to be a good thing!!

Hi all

I am new to this forum, and feel like I need the support.

I got my band in October 2011 and have only lost about 9 pounds. (I have 60 more to go).

I think I am pretty restricted, I have slimed and urped only 2x but now know what it feels like (raw veggies a no no). My doc plans on slowly filling me from now on, I think I am at about 5 cc.I go every 3 weeks now. I think my mind is not there. And it really frustrates me. I know I am eating over what I should be, and I am drinking with my meals so it literally pushes everything thru.

I realize all this, and of course I need to really come to grips with it...but I do have a particular question. I used to LOVE coffee in the morning. I loved the smell and the comfort of drinking something warm. Now, NO WAY. The thought of it nauseates me, and if I try it because I am having trouble waking up, I can take only one sip and I really do not like it.

I understand the band is tighter in the mornings. Could this be affecting my taste?

I am on several medications, and I have realized I can't take those int he mornings either.

I am now drinking green tea and settling my morning stomach with oatmeal. Maybe it is my body's answer to get em to be eating healthier?!?!

Anybody else with similar experience?

I would love to hear I am not alone in this..

Thanks in advance!
