I was told to discontinue drinking coffee, because they've found that the acid can erode the band. That, in addition to the small ulcers coffee can cause in the pouch.

I'm curious to know how others are dealing with this. Or, if they were even instructed against coffee. I've been SO out of sorts without that little bit in the morning, and tea just doesn't cut it. A couple of days ago I allowed myself a 1/2 cup of coffee (about 4 oz), and it made ALL the difference in the way I feel. Would love some feedback on this.

Also the band does nothing to help me stop smoking. I have so much head hunger sometimes I eat more because of this. Head hunger and satisfied take you in to different directions. Best suggestion if you are smoking it will be easier to quit now or make it much harder to find what satisfied feels like.

Ya, they are smokeless but still have nicotine. I guess I need to just quit altogether. I know I am just smoking because I am using it as a crutch for not eating as much. I can't wait to get some fills to have a satisfied feeling for my hunger!

You can get the e-juice for the e-cig without nicotine. I used to make my own and didn't put any nicotine in it.

I will do that! Thank you!
