Thanx Cronniss. It was tough to get back into swing of things after I broke my knee. The break was behind my kneecap so it really had to heal on its own. The funny thing is, now I have major aches and stiffness in the opposite one!! LOL *kitten* getting old! ;)

Hey everyone! Thanx for responding and I'm looking forward to getting to know you :smile: I just saw my dietician and psych doc yesterday.

I had banding 3yrs ago. I did well my the first 9 months and then for whatever reason I began to stick/vomit/slime all my meals. I had 6.5cc of fluid in at the time and the doctor removed all but 2.

I got rid of real sugar and sweetener in my coffee. I use just FF/SF flavored creamer. It works. You get the sweet and creamy w/o a ton of calories. And yes I've also used flavored soy milk which works too. All about portions. :)
