Turning 60 tomorrow 6/3/09

Hi everyone - I guess I can now join your group instead of just lurking. I turn 60 tomorrow 6/3/09 and have been banded since 9/30/08. I've lost around 55# and am so happy. I made the decision to get banded about a year ago when I choose to not enter my 6th decade as unhappy and unhealthy as I had been for so long. I have been doing really well for about 5 months and then got overfilled and started to eat slider foods. I've had a small unfill and can now eat better but unfortunately fell back into some bad habits and am having trouble getting back on track. I've only lost 3# in almost 3 months. Also the idea of turning 60 has been really hard psychologically. I'm giving myself 1 more day to eat as I wish and then back to work. One good thing . . my body no longer tolerates really rich foods. I get really sick. My friend brought me over a rich chocolate birthday cake with gooey chocolate frosting tonight (because I asked for it) and I ate a few bites and can't eat more. I switched to my usual evening bedtime snack of tapioca pudding when she left. What my DH and DS don't eat tonight will be trashed tomorrow. A year ago I would never have said that! Any words of wisdom on how to get back on track would be appreciated. Happy to be part of this group. :wub:
