You'll do great!

I heard that too. 30% effort to my doc is minimal. Don't eat sliders, walk a little, eat only 1 c at a time, take Vitamins. The green zone was the point my dr was making. They would take you to the green zone, get 11bmi drop. Your determination to get the rest off is then up to you. He says usually two years to get the 50% weight off using this program.

Now I have to deal with them. That means expressing disappointment, sadness, frustration, boredom etc. however, I am so happy with the result that I really can't say I'm irritable or feel like i do when on a diet!

Seems like you are too tight!

It may be from the tube rubbing up against the diaphragm. I had the same problem. Left shoulder right? It is what gave me the most problems. Call ur dr to see about taking Advil or something. Hang in there!
