Ok I have been banded for only 3 weeks but I have noticed some changes other than losing weight. I was just wondering what others have experienced or new ways people are living. An example:

1) While driving in a shady part of industrial Calgary with my wife on Saturday I noticed two punks pushing drugs by the local drinking establishment. I drove over and called them to the window, while my wife dug her nails into my arm and insisted on leaving... I showed them a $50 and said could I get a Kilo of Benefibre! They asked me what that was so I told them "soluable natural fibre good for ruffage and scrubbing the blood vessels clear of plaque". They walked away.... my Quest for inexpensive Benefibre continues.

2) I found myself doing butt-crunches/clenches on the local Light Rail Transit while going to work...anyway to burn extra calories...I hope no one noticed

3) Since I have passed the magic 21 diet thing my cravings for dirty carbs have diminished totally. I also have more energy for my kids and tend to be away from the TV and outdoors alot.

Does anyone else have any benefits or ways or unique ways to live healthier?

Gaffer ~ YES i know the other benefit of weight loss for men as you have posted. God bless Mrs. Gaffer!!! (please note: that is a non-denominational God)

Happy B-day Donna... you are an absolute inspiration. It was great to meet you at the "clinic"... the TWLSC. I spoke with Rose and she is breaking in some new help there...you will have to let me know if they are any good vs plastic surgery demo ladies.

Anyway take care!!
