I sure hope so! I've got some new motivation and am feeling good =) Good to know there are still some VV's hanging around here :biggrin:

I've lurked here for soooo long, but finally decided to check in with you guys today =) I was banded in February 2008 and have managed to take off 45lbs of the 80 I have a goal of. Its been frustrating and slow, but that's why I'm here. Hoping for some support and motivation from my fellow VV's

Out of shear curiosity, I'm wondering what is on your food no-no list... I'm referring to the foods your body cannot tolerate (very well or at all) anymore with your band. I seem to be all of the board (of course breads like pizza and bagels I will never eat again, but then again sometimes lettuce and eggs bother me)... so again, I'm just curious, what are the foods that YOU can't tolerate anymore?

Wow, this is exactly what I am going through right now too (not exactly the same background story of course, but the weird esophageal pain/spasms)... I'm also interested if anyone here can shed some light on this...
