1 pointI am a teacher at a high school. A student who gave me nothing but problems last year walked up to me today and shook my hand. I was like what is that for??? He said I want to say that you have done a good job losing weight and that I was not even sure it was you this year. It felt good to even have the kids recognize my hard work! I teach freshmen, so they do not know what I looked like last year. They think I have always been this size. 24 more pounds to go and I will be to my goal.

1 pointI physically CAN'T drink for at least an hour after eating - I'll throw up whatever I just ate. My doc says it's because it pushes the food down your pouch faster - not letting you feel full as long. But I also read in a lapband book that what I have is called the "cork effect". When the food is sitting in my pouch, drinking causes it to back up like a cork. It's quite painful. But I can drink up until the time I eat. Marci

Drinking While Eating?!
bandedgorJESS reacted to mandagay for a post in a topic
It's not as bad as it sounds. It is what I was most worried about! I always order a water if I go out just for security for myself but not drinking with the meal hasn't been too hard. I do time right up to the thirty min after to drink tho and usually carry a drink with me wherever I go so I can have some as soon as the thirty min are up but a lot of that is so that I make sure I get in all the water I am supposed to drink every day. I promise u can do it! -

1 pointAn interesting phenomenon, In this hemisphere the liquid in your pouch goes down clockwise, and in Australia, it goes counterclockwise (anticlockwise).

Maybe you need another fill? Why don't you schedule an appointment with your surgeon or fill doctor and discuss your problems with them? -
