yes, this is vertigo. It may come back or may not, there is nothing to do for it. sometimes it happens when you look up and put your head in a compromising position. It happened to me, one day I woke up in a headspin. everything was spinning so fast that I was concerned, next I knew I had to throw up. I was not banded at that time. It still happens occasionally now, but if you move your head just right, it will go away. It is just the hair in your ears that doesn't keep up with your head movements. hope this helps

I was wondering if your nose is supposed to run if you are full? I don't have a cold, but about a minute or two after eating I get a runny nose.

diaby, you know, you're right, I should cut it up first. The older I get the more --- anyway, thanks. I still miss the pleasure from eating. I love the weight loss but I really miss eating.

losing, it is Met-Rx protein plus bars, it has 32 grams of protein and only 3 gm of sugar, but it is 300 calories, do I need to look for a different one?

losing, you're right about the protein, I didn't do too good in that area on my blood tests last month. I am trying protein bars between meals, makes my stomach growl and gaseous, probably the sugar alcohols?

I am staying on the plan today because I have eaten too much lately and the scales aren't moving. I have to start sometime to get back on track and today is it!

thanks, everyone. I thought it had to do with a sense of being full. the only problem is I get hungry about an hour later, maybe it's boredom.

hi, everyone, I'm from Kalamazoo, Michigan. banded about 6 months ago. doing great except for some PBing.

grace, that is the most perfect way to put it. I really think that sums it up for a lot of us. I'm going to write that down.

I am coming on my 6 month band anniversary. May 31st for me. I am happy but am losing my hair. kind of sad about that. oh, well, I feel good about my weight loss. I can deal with the hair loss, I guess. nice to see everyone is losing so much weight. It is getting harder to do though, I want to lose about 35 more pounds, I hope. rough road ahead. we came a long way though. happy thanksgiving

sorry about that but my goal should read 174lbs.

thanks, losing, this is my challenge. Delo........start 245........current 184........goal 17...10lbs goal thanks.

I cannot eat solid protein too much. I can eat potted meat and when I make chicken soup, I put it in a blender and it comes out like a thick creamy soup, not too bad but at least i'm getting the protein, chicken in. I eat protein bars and Carnation Instant Breakfast, I put two packets in a glass of milk and put it in the blender with a couple of ice cubes and it's good and i'm getting more protein that way. I am having a hard time with hair loss, too. Maybe I will purchase some Nioxin. I had a real hard time with beef jerky also. sometimes I feel deprived because food used to make me feel good when I was depressed or having a hard day. It's not there anymore but they say skinny tastes better. lol

graceutah, I don't know if you want to try banana baby food, there is 300 milligrams of potassium in one tray, not too bad to the taste, either. You have done exceptionaly well in your journey and you are a kind person for donating your clothes. I hope you feel better soon, seems like everyone is getting sick this fall. I had the flu and was miserable, I broke out in a cold sore as a result, yuck. you go, girl!

help, I just ate two miniature mounds candy bars from Halloween. Oh, well, there's nothing I can do about it now, it sure went down well, though. I should have spat it out in the trash. I feel bad now.

I am too from a Polish family and know about all the fat and food we ate. It was delicious, but without the band I could not do this. You definitely need to get back on the wagon and get busy, you can do this, I'm sure. I know all about the food and how people get offended if you don't eat, eat, eat, the Polish tradition. Now, with the holidays approaching it is going to be difficult for me, but I will do this and so will you.

I also am experiencing hair loss. My doctor told me I need to get a blood test done to check my vitamin level and so forth. It is so sad to see your hair all over the place, sometimes in clomps. Oh, well, at least I feel and look better after 60 pounds off, I guess you can say!

April 28, 2007. I'm in the pink at a whopping 245 lbs. May 2007. Just before surgery at 239 lbs. June 2007. One month after surgery at 229 lbs. July 2007. 207 lbs. October 2007. Present weight is 185 lbs. :clap2:

Grace, thank you for the green suit, I couldn't believe how beautiful it is. I am working my way into it. I am a 14 now so not too long. thanks again.

thank you everyone, I do feel so much better and mobile. I have to fix my ticker to reflect my recent weight loss. I always wondered if I could post my before and afters and now I have. wow

new, I live in Kalamazoo and had my surgery on May 31 of 07.

losing, you are such an inspiration to me, I love to read your messages and look for your pictures, also wasa is also an inspiration love you guys.

hi, where in Michigan are you from? I'm from southwest Michigan

I am finally in onderland also. I weighed in at 194 and now want to get to the 180s. I hope I can do this by Thanksgiving. I go for my fourth fill on the 24th of October and hope I can reach a sweet spot. I get so frustrated because I get stuck a lot but I don't get the full feeling yet. I hope I can reach it soon so I can get to my goal.

ready to lose, glad to hear you are doing better. When I got blocked I used some papaya enzyme tablets, you just chew one or two up, it is the same stuff as in the meat tenderizer, only tastes better. I got it at a health food store. another remedy is pineapple juice. hope this helps.
