hi, i too have hit a birck wall. i was banded in 96. started at 235 went down to 168 and have struggled back and forth between 175 to 185 for the last year. i cheated and ate easy foods like junk and icecream but every effort to get back down keeps me between these ten pounds. i am trying seattle sutton for a week; only eating half the meals at a time. how is your problem going? janet
