Do you find the longer out you are that restriction seems to be a moving target? I know so many factors go into restriction but lately I have been really tight. I tried to eat wheat chex yesterday morning and that was a no-go....ended up spitting for a bit and coughed up some saliva, no food just the alien blob that was living in my chest. Today I licked the spoon off banana bread I was making and I've been spitting for 2 hours. I haven't had a fill since early February....do you think I'm the result of a fill kicking in weeks later? I go back to my dr on friday, I'm sure I'll be loosened up by Tues or Wed....it just seems like it's loose/tight/loose tight. I certainly don't need a fill, I know that....if I got one I bet I won't be able to drink or eat! Thanks everyone...enjoy your day...... Karen

Thanks Nancy....my heart is still so heavy over this and all the kind words from my OH friends surely helps me feel the care and support. I hope and pray that he'll be fine.

I turned 53 on the first - OMG I actually admitted that! Ha! I also still have goals and live comfortably in a 16 and some 14's. I am more focused on overall health at the moment, and keeping my job as there are so many layoffs happening my my company. I am so with you on #4 and #5 - it is all about life.

Thanks Phyllis.....I think a tray of double chocolate brownies will help....it sure would help me (but not my hips)

That is cool news about Nathan, and I have such respect for anyone who goes back to school. I'm doing good, just working a lot and playing even more. Have been rather naughty on my eating and lazy on my exercise due to the cold that simply won't give up, but I am refocusing a bit at a time and will get there. I went to Ireland for business a few weeks ago and totally fell in love with the country. How can we in America understand world history when we've never climbed the steps up the castle? Wow I want to go back!
