I have a similar issue and have decided to go with it. My throat seems to almost constrict itself when I try to eat too much food. For some reason, water is easy and particularly delicious. I am enjoying the fact that I don't want to eat much and don't miss excess food consumption. I am learning that throwing away a plate of food sure beats eating it when I still have weight to lose.Thanks for sharing, I am glad to hear I am not the only one. What you are describing is to the T what I have been dealing with! Very interesting, I will have to look at some of those options! Sadly my insurance wont let me go back to 2.5 only stay on 5. I have the pens, but tempted to remove and self inject the lower dose.
