Hi Katy, Please see your dr. asap. My doctor would have me come either to the emergency room or his office today if I called him. Something is definitely not right. Take care.

Thank you Mimi for your kind words. I am sorry about the loss of your father. It can be so hard to let go. I have lost both of my parents at a relatively young age. I feel for you. You will be in my prayers as you lay him to rest this weekend. We can do this, just have to say today is the day! Stay strong.

Hi Everyone. So today is a fresh start for me. I am going to do low carbs so I can get the scale moving. I feel like a failure after reading everybody's posts and their success. 35 pounds in a year is not much. I am reading your posts every day now. It is inspiring. Things here in Michigan are so depressing. My daughter lost her job as a lawyer. She said after a decade in school look where it has gotten her, but she is looking onward. Everybody has so many problems, we are not alone. I am putting it in God's hands, after all he IS in control. Have a great day.

Mine was too restricted only one time and I couldn't even take a sip of water without feeling like I was going to vomit. Good luck.

What is imho?

What kind of hot chocolate protein drink do you have? Is that what you usually have for breakfast and do you try to stick to a low carb diet? Just needing some suggestions to get my weight loss moving. I think that I didn't use my band as simply a tool but thought just reducing my intack would make me lose but it hasn't -- just at first. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

All of you are an inspiration to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Looking forward to more success in 2009. I was hoping by this time I would be farther ahead but I am not giving up.

You are not alone, so many of us are battling the same issues. I am new to this site. Try the over 50's forum for support. They seem like the greatest people. I care.

Is there a way to go directly to this forum? I'm trying to learn my way around and who everybody is still. Oh, and a Happy New Year to you all. May 2009 be healthier and happier for everyone!

Good Morning, I had Dr. Weiner who is one of the three doctors at this clinic that perform the lap band surgery. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Weiner and I know Dr. Webber is very well thought of but I don't know him personally. You have chosen well. Good luck to you!

Thank you both for the welcome and words of encouragement! I will be checking in often. This next year I want to work on a healthier diet. Now I eat the things I want but just a lot less. I am sure there is a better way. Thanks again and Happy New Year to you all.

I guess I just don't know how to use this site yet, but will continue to explore it. I was reading about the lady's friend whose son just passed away with luekemia. My very new daughter-in-law at 24 yrs of age is being tested for that right now. I need motivation now. I am finally feeling restriction and learning to listen to my body.

Where is everybody? Nobody has posted for over a year. I am new to this forum and would like to talk to the over 50's. I had mine a year ago and have lost just 35 pounds. Would like to do at least that much next year. Dr. says it should take about three years to lose my 90 pounds.
