I make wheel thrown stoneware pottery. Here's a picture taken in my studio.

Magic- I Googled the "Midband" - it's not used in the US, but it IS adjustable as is the lapband. You need more restriction or you won't be losing any more Kgs. Contact your Doctor to have this done. The website about your doctor and this procedure is not very good and my French is a bit rusty, but it does mention that ongoing support is provided. Here's the link: http://www.laparoscopic-surgeon.com/visu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=111 Arline

It's all head hunger. The only reason you get hunger pains is because your blood sugar drops at certain times - it's your body's response to your usual eating times. Neurochemicals stimulated by food intake make you feel calmer and happier after eating whether you feel physical hunger or not; that is, of course, unless you were already very full, then you get a stomachache instead. If we weren't programmed to want to eat even when we don't feel "physical" hunger, we'd be too suceptable to famine. Not to worry, when the famine comes, we'll all be the last to go. Arline

I lost 100 lbs on phen-fen. I actually lost my ability to imagine a meal before I ate, which made me a terrible cook - but it was so wonderful to be free of constant thoughts about eating. I had no heart damage from it after 14 months. When researhers come up with something similar but safer, the band is gone.
