athinnerdenise, At the very risk of sounding very stupid--- here goes: what is the "CP"? AND what is a "5 day test pouch" ? I have never heard of that before. is that something new? So for me here to another "lesson" day --I think i may begin to enjoy this! "talk" and learning too! you can't beat that! ,aybe with the help of this I can get blessed enought to find a way to beat this "weight issue" and NOT give up! and YES!!!! right now i am laughing at myself since i can imagine everyone else knows these answers! :laugh::thumbup: thanks!

diva4 -- by the way -- since i cant figure out anything by computers and thisis the frist "chat" thing i have done -- i just found out it went to my email to notify me(?) gee is that new??? LOL! anyway thanks for 2 lessons tonite! now i know people do respond and do care!

diva4-- thanks for responding-- it does help to knowothers out there are trying and doing to get the same results. just never thought it would be something that we do and then it "doesn't work" or we got something screwy going on that is stopping that "little" bit every month, that we look forward to. It is quite depressing and a real struggle. I know life goes on but with thisi feel like it is going on without me! maybe we can catch each other in here and find a way over the hill and make it just a bump. Was thinking about that fill tonite. i had to cancel my last appt but i went up to a 7 amd it was like restricting but i cuold not keep Water down. --then went to 6.5 and the next timei was in they had this survery asking you if you throw up-- i said yes because sometimes i did --thinking i was not chewing right or too much -- getting signels mixed etc. but the doc went a head and brough me back down to a 6 and i gained everything i lost back. So i was thinking to go back to liquids and get appt with the clinic and tell theni have beenon liquids etc. and see if they will put the 6.5 back in or even retry the 7. is that what you would do?

hi i am new at this even though i had my band done in jan 2007 i have lost 40 lbs and yo yo'd even though i eat less food, have all meds and Proteins suggested and no sweets or junk -- i am STUCK! -- i have gone back up ( not quite to pre op but getting there--!!! ) and i am noting but frustrated. I am not givingup but looking for a way to jump start this without killing myself. Thanks for starting this tread-- i am so computer stupid i hope i can find you guys again -- this lifted my spirits! i had problems with the fills but reading some of this makes me think i need to go back up in fill and re adjust the liquids first and formost-- maybe i moved to fast from one to another. Hope to you all again here on this with ideas and thoughts-- anything helps you not feel so alone. Keep thinking somethingis wrong with me inside not to be able to drop weight easy enought when I went thru the whole 10 bit-- dr's and surgery and it is still hanging on me!
