I agree, hope that you can get your momentum back. Karen

I agree with sojouner; after looking at the labels, I determined not for me. Besides, it really is too much food for me. Karen

Donna, my husband has it too! He blames his on a doctor visit lastweek. I blame it on hayferver turned into sinus infaction. But, I hope that you feel better, sounds like bronchitis for you.

WOW! I guess you really like a tight band. Mine is 5cc and I can't go higher because I get sick just like you described. Head hunger is a witch! Best wahes to you, hopefully the slight unfill will do the trick.Karen

From what my surgeon said, plication is not done in a lot of places. Florida doesn't allow it. Experimental!!!Anyway, CG does have it and others, too. Best wishes!Karen

Good luck! A nice haircut can make the world of difference on how you see yourself! Karen

Hard to break that habit. Drs, and others say only weigh at the office. I, however, never found a scale that I could pass by! Once a week is optimal! Karen

Fingers crossed and saying a prayer that you will be okay and keep your band! Bless you, Karen

Good advice! Thanks!

Great job, tighten your belt before you lose your britches!!!!Karen

Sip, sip, sip!!!If you are trying to gulp or drink too much at one time, the swelling, which is natural due to your surgery, will cause a back up. I still even 3 1/2 years down the line have times where my band does not let liquids go down, quickly! Calm down!!!Best wishes, Karen

I think it is normal, too! But don't just go to ER, call your surgeon before you do that! Best wishes, Karen

I hate to say it, but you sound too tight! If you are getting stuck so often, and not losing, it could be because of that. Talk to your nutritionist. Best wishes.Karen

Really good article, I hope that the newbees and us oldies read it. It definitely tells it like it is. Thanks,Karen

Outdoorman, you sound like you have an admirer. Carolina is right, a lot a older people fall for these scams. Have you heard about the one, that they call and say grandma, this is your grandson, and I need money to get out of jail, (out of country, out of trouble)? Lost my passport. So many elderly people fall for this, too! Karen

Removed, did not realize this post was old!

Best wishes, Donna! Stick to your plan. If that is what you can tolerate for now, do it! ((((hugs))))Karen

CONGRATS, CalifTriGirl,, You are doing great. We 50+ folks do have other problems that the youngers don't welcome and we need to be more active on this forum.

Good idea, I have my treadmill in the livingroom. It is hard to ignore. I use it and don't stack stuff on it. Karen

Wowie wow, wow! You look great and about 5-10 years younger!Congrats!!!

I can only eat toasted bread or hard breads. I pretty much stay away from all breads!

Right on, readyforachage2011!We each need to find our "green zone". It is different for everyone, listen to YOUR body not what someone else thinks!

I vote for you Jessica, I hope that you do with this contest! What a great thing these people are doing!!!Best wishes, Karen

I did not lose hair. i have a then side, but it has always been thin. Best wishes, we don't all lose hair, just as we lose weight differently, karen

Remember what you can see through! That is clear liquids, not heavy juice, sorry for the lecture! You can see through apple juice, not orange, banana, strawberry. In fact, there are few juices that you can see through, maybe cherry. Sorry for your pain, and unfill. Karen
