I was banded last Thursday by Dr. Alldredge and I must report the 1st NSV (Non-Scale Victory): I am officially off of caffeine! I have been a Caffeine addict since I was a young child. I have not had a sip of soda, nor will I succomb to my worst vice!! I began to wean myself a week ago, then had my last drink on Weds. night. Headache from hell!!!! Thank goodness for the liquid drugs on Thursday thru Sat. I have been taking 500mg of Tylenol twice a day since. I feel great! My band will be my tool to rise above it all!!!!!

Good luck to all of the rest of you!!!

I still mourn my caffine free diet mountain dews. THese size 10 jeans feel so much better then my dews. I would drink almost a 12 pack a day!! It would amaze my husband.

Forgive my forwardness, but you look GREAT!! If giving up Mt. Dew can do that for you, I have hope for myself!!!

I am not even craving pop. I never could say that before. I would love to have one, because I'll always be a slave to it. Maybe once I've fully healed I will take a sip just to prove how nasty it is now!!!!

Keep up the great work! Lucky husband!!!!
