Ok guys, I have a problem that I would like to ask about............... Whenever I start eating my food hangs up no matter how slow or much I chew it, it hangs up then I have to run to the bathroom and either burp, let it pass, or worst of all throw it up. After this I can eat pretty well without any more problems. Ive tried drinking more to open up my band before I eat but it doesnt seem to work at all. This is sooooo embarassing and rumors are beginning to circulate about me that I dont like. I dont really care that much since I am moving in a little over a month, but its the fact of it all.

Thanks guys, a little hot coffee or soup before a meal is just the thing! I can eat now without having to umm well lets not go there....although I had a horrible incident last week with a beef patty from Sonic driving from a town about an hour from my town, lets say the outcome was not pretty nor lady-like lol...

thanks guys, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome about a year and a half ago, but it hasnt shown back up until now its been gone for about 9 months. LOL! For all of you.................IM NOT PREGNANT!!!!!ITS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, IM ONLY 18 YA KNOW! IM NOT ACTIVE, I HAVE 5 YEARS OF COLLEGE LEFT FOR GOD'S SAKE! LOL!!!! Anyways, the iron problem sounds likely, I have a friend that has an iron deficiancy so I know that it is very possible. I take 3 multivitamins a day, and eat 3 full meals per day with protein and veggies. When I move off to Corpus I will be able to probably eat more fruit since I will buy it for myself, but mom doesnt buy the fruit that I eat (like apples, oranges, peaches, pears, and that stuff) She wants to buy stuff I dont eat for some reason lol.

I know that im not pregnant lol unless im like the Virgin Mary.....................................I just want something done, I wanna know whats wrong and I want it fixed.......................I had bloodwork done a little over a year ago at an internalist's office and everything was normal, but I still dont feel right so now Im scared that they are basically going to call me a hypochindriac or something because I feel like something is wrong........................I just need something to pop up (something simple, that I can live with or can be fixed) so that I can be healthy. *Plus there isnt a guy in this small town that I would consider the "deed" with nor them me lol! We are all like family(mostly literally)

#1 they cant unfill me without completely unfilling me, and I can eat plenty, trust me I just went to get a fill put in my band last week because I was STARVING all the time!!! Like looking for food constantly. I eat probably TOO much still after the food gets hung

Im a little nervous...BUT! Im back out there in the game, looking for someone to have fun. This is taking a lot of courage on my behalf because of how badly I was burned in my last relationship. Im very excited, Im kinda into a guy now and I think he feels the same. IM WEARING CLOTHES FROM AEROPOSTALE AND RUE21 NOW!!!!YAY! I bought an XL dress at OldNavy where as I wouldnt have been able to find a DRESS to fit me there.....Anyways... With me moving soon Im not going to settle with one guy or anything, just going on little dates here and there and having a blast now that I have some confidence about myself! ...This is going to be an adventure....but a fun one! *EDIT* I have bought 2 BIKINIS! YES bikinis, not tankinis, BIKINIS!!!!YES!!!!

I weigh 204lbs but i dunno how to post pics so maybe Ill make anothe myspace one day, and give yall the url

ACTUALLY!!..........Im kinda interested in this guy and Im gonna go out with him this weekend. Hes super hot! lol! TALL! Blond hair Blue eyes, tan..........the works...............THE BEST PART! HIS COUSIN HAS HAD LAP-BAND!!!! SO HE KNOWS ABOUT IT, NOT TO MENTION THAT HES TOTAL SENSITIVE TO THE FACT THAT IM OVERWEIGHT! Sorry, I got excited! lol! Hes a blast and fun to talk to. I spoke with him Tuesday night until midnight just about nothings, just having a conversation......................................Hes pretty awesome, Im waiting on some signs to see if he likes me too....Either way I can still have some fun before I move

I havent read anything about this girl having Lap-Band surgery

Hey guys, I live like 30 minutes from Vidor and had NO CLUE! Not to mention My sister lives there, and my mom works there sometimes. I havent heard one thing about this.....hmmmmmmmmmm strange?

Dr. Spiegel is not refusing a patient, he is refusing their insurance........PLUS insurance companies ARE EXTREMELY hard to work with when your a doctor, especially UHC. They really screwed me over and I paid CASH money for the surgery, and its worth EVERY PENNY

UHC DID NOT cover my surgery with Dr. Spiegel, So we paid cash with a loan from the bank and I am SOOOOOOOOOO glad we did! I love Dr. Spiegel, I need to go there next week as a matter of fact..........but anyways, I love it there and Im glad I used him even if it did cost a lot. The results you will see are PRICELESS, I promise.

Well..........Yo hablo espanol! and my best friend speaks......get ready for this guys and gals................................... English German Svaish (however you spell it) Dutch Italian Spanish And he's trying to pick of French............He can communicate well in all these languages. But he only speaks Italian non-fluently (yet)

Taylor Hicks belongs in a KARAOKE BAR!!!!!!!BOOO!!!!!!!!!! CHRIS NEEDS A DIVORCE AND TO MARRY ME!!!!!LOL!!!! *CONGRATS TO THE IDOLS, TAYLOR WORKED HARD

Have you and your friends ever planned a brown-bag lunch in the park rather than buying out every day? Would your friends agree to one or two days as "bring your food to work" days? Well we would have to be cooped up in the college for an additional 45 minutes longer than usual and thats no fun at all ya know? Its a great idea except for that and we would get done so quickly there would be nothing to do for about 30 minutes or so.......We cant eat at the park because its usually just girls, and it is known in this town that young females do not goto the park without a male because of the location of the park (its in one of the worst, no the worst parts of my town) There was in fact (no lying or exaggerating) a madman hiding in the woods around the park last week, and the week before that a woman left her kid at the park alone, at dark, and went to a bar and when she went to pick her child up at 2 am, she found her daughter surrounded by cops and she was taken into custody. There are always assaults and stuff that happen there. Oh btw, I eat my salads without dressing (just lemon juice). I like the freshness of the vegies and I hate to weigh them down with dressing, but that is an excellent idea

Hi guys! I went to the doc last week and he says the pounds should just be falling off of me as a teen, and sent me to a nutrionist. The nutritionist was a bunch of boloney and tried to sell me EVERY diet supplement she had for like 50 buck a piece (its $6 at Target, I checked lol). But Ive been this route before with nutritionists, and its just a bunch of crap I didnt fall for it. She didnt say anything helpful, I wanted some daily food ideas and recipes and stuff to get me under 1000 calories a day, but all she did was try to sell me stuff and jabber on about her (at $75 an hour at that!) So MOMS TICKED! Anyways, what I want is some ideas of what I can under a 1000 cals a day. I drink SlimFast for Breakfast (which I like to keep) but I need some lunch ideas since I have to eat out everyday due to I live outta town and have to grab something in 15-25 minutes every day. I bought some low calorie lunchables for those days when my friends go eat something that I cant, but I cant get them down very well. Also I dont want to eat lunch on my own everyday, and if I bring a lunch thats what I would have to do. I cant bring foods into ANY restaurants in town because they will kick me out lol (been there, done that). I just need some help grabbing food (doesnt have to be McDonalds or anything, just normal restaurant food not pertaining to any certain one because we have alotta restaurants here that are locally owned, just some ideas) Here are my limitations: Absolutely NO WHITE CHICKEN MEAT No corn No rice No bread No snacks Under 1000 calories per serving No greasy foods *also I need some good low cal recipes for my mom to use, so if you guys have any please submit, or if you know a good recipe site or book that has good stuff with calories listed please let me know, I really need to get on the right track pllllleaaaaaaaaassssssseeeeeeeee......................???????

Do you know Cobb Salads? I have ordered Cobb Salads (if they are NOT tossed and they usually are not) and asked them to put the lettuce on one plate (because lettuce was NOT easy for me with the band AND because it's important to have access to the protein) and the other stuff on another plate. That leaves you with the Cobb salad "innards," which includes: tiny, chopped tomatoes; small chopped eggs; crumbled bacon; some chicken or sometimes turkey (probably white meat, so you have to eat around it); maybe avocado and crumbled bleu cheese. I tried this Cobb Salad one time before I was banded..........didnt turn out so hot. I dunno why, but it made me soooooooooooooooooooooo sick for like 3 days, I swore I had food poisoning lol! I dont eat them anymore because of that one experience, I just cant bring myself to, lol. Oh I dont eat Bacon (or much pork at that, I used to show hogs and now the meat just smells like a dirty hog and tastes like a meat locker to me) I dont eat the yolks out of eggs either, so anything that contains yolk I cant stomach it (i dunno I always think of baby chickens, and I HATE CHICKENS)lol I dont eat tomatoe because ewww ok I cant get past the slime to eat one. It feels bad on my tongue. Im not trying to picky or make excuses I just thought I would add a little anecdote. I need some more small town suggestions, we DONT have Crackerbarrel or Red Lobster or Applebees or anything like that all we have is in my previous post. This information is useful when I go out of town on the weekends, but for everyday I know that I can eat fajita meat.....thats it.......I need to know what is healthy at a Chinese Restaurant like tofu and stuff, I want the caloric amount if anyone has it (tofu vegetable stir-fry). Everyday we either eat Tex-Mex or Chinese, or I starve because they go to get fried chicken (ewwwwww never was a fan, felt bad in my mouth). Okay and yes I admit im OCD about some stuff. But im trying to break the food OCD habits, I really am...............I have gotten to where I eat more seafood than I ever did (I just cant eat shrimp, doesnt go down easily and neither does catfish anymore) So I ate at Applebees the other night and order the Talapia without the rice pilaf, and it was marvalous. I wish they sold that stuff down here, we have catfish, crawfish, shrimp, and some crabs........unless you drive over an hour and get it. I really live in the sticks, we have nothing here.......lol Thanks all of you for the help keep um coming:biggrin1:

Awww.... I tried Wendy's for the first time like 2 months ago, it was awesome. I wish we had one here, I live in a very VERY small town lol. This will help though..................we have: McDonald's KFC Popeyes Taco Bell 3 Tex-Mex Restaurants 1 Chinese place (my fave) 1 Hotel restaurant (which I eat pretty healthy there) hmmmmmmmmmm thats pretty much it taht isnt a buffet.........

Thanks you guys! I still need more suggestions, but this is helping! I can teat the chicken, I dunno why I try and try and end up in tears no matter how much I chew and chew and chew, it still hurts me sooooooo bad!

I work at a clothing store, and a lot of our misses clothing are numbered odd, and a lot of our juniors are numbered evens. But what is correct is that MOST NOT ALL (lol trust me) Juniors clothing has a straighter fit that Misses. Also Misses clothing is much more mature, this is the section where you will find pant suits and more adult like dressy attire. Its also where most of the button-up shirts are located and the more dressy-casual clothes are.

hmmm Ive had lots of embarrassing moments like..... a.) Got nominated for duchess (homecoming) just so that if I got it everyone would laff. b.) ppl would ask my ex why he would want a fat nasty girl like me c.) when ppl say to my best friend, "why are you friends with that fat b***" d.) In 2nd grade a little boy (younger than I) told me in the hallway, "I aint never seen nobody as big as you is!" (first time I realized I was different) e.) Nurse told me I had no willpower and thats why I am fat.... f.) When someone was talking about their overweight sister in front of me, and told me her weight and she only weighs like 20lbs more than me! (all of this makes me cry so I try to forget all the super hurtful stuff)

Okay, so I had to come home from school today because I am SOOOOOOOOO SICK! Im really nausiated and dizzy. I havent really been able to eat very much in about a month, but Ive had this fill for like 2 months? It wasnt a problem until about January. Im barely eating anything, BUT IM NOT LOSING WEIGHT! The most Ive eaten allllllllllllllllllllll month is like the meat and cheese out of 2 quesadillas from Chilis! I dont mind it, it just gets "stuck" and I get really sick and my chest hurts soooooooooooo bad, then I burp and Im better, but I cant hardly breath. One night I threw up my chinese food, then I went back to the same restaurant, didnt eat any of the same stuff that I ate the time b4 that and threw up again (it felt like I was having a heart attack or something because my body went all numb and achy.) Then I ate something friday night, fish I think, with ketchup and threw it back up. Ive narrowed down the problem tho! I THINK ITS THE KETCHUP! Cuz if I eat anything that has ketchup I get SICK! Like BBQ sauce, ketchup itself, burger patty with it, or whatever else goes with ketchup, it come back up! Right now I NEED to eat but feel so sick to my stomach that I dunno if I can. Im eating all the protein I can, but my hair is still falling out in clumps, and the worse part of all of this AGAIN is IM NOT LOSING ANY WEIGHT! I drink a slimfast for breakfast, have a little something for lunch (like 3-5 bites of beef mandarin or some kind of beef) and then for supper I take like 6 bites MAYBE and Im done, Im not full, its stuck! HURTS SO BAD I dont want anything else. Im sleepy ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl the time, and just overall feel weird, I wanted a little tighter fill B4 prom, but I guess it doesnt matter if Im not losing any weight does it? Besides that I would like to have hair for prom! I dunno, Im making an appointment to see the Doctor either for this week or next week, whenever I can get in, but right now I dont feel well AT ALL!

I went and had an unfill today, it was a little torturous since I have been sick to my tummy so I was woosy. The poor nurse that took it out didnt know I had a low-profile port (I didnt myself) so the more she tried to hit it the sicker I felt and she and I both thought I was gonna throw-up on her so I did good not to do so. I got some bad news today, I found out my ex-bf had been dating another girl (a skinny one no doubt) I CANT WAIT TILL THIS WHOLE WEIGHTLOSS THING IS DOWN WHERE I WANT IT! But Im doing good with that since I myself have been out there looking for a new man, so its not that big of a deal, just a little dampening, Im more concerned about feeling better than his sorry life its just a feeling ya know? Anyways, I hope I never have an unfill again because it just felt plain weird. Thanks yall for all your help and support, its good to talk to others who have went through the same stuff.........

HEY! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my low-rise jeans! THEY ARE SO HOT! AND show off my flattening tummy, you can actually see that I have a belly button now lol! I LOVE TO WEAR THONGS TOO! I feel sexy in them, the only problem..........................If it shows then I look like one of those really trashy big women on Jerry Springer to everyone, then Im "grooooooossssssssss" lol SO I usually opt for a LOW_RISE BOYCUT Panty which are SOOOOOOO HOTTTTTTTTT AND SEXY RIGHT NOW! LOVE em! And I feel sexy without feeling trampy, and trust me if you can see these panties over the jeans you better get to pulling those babies up because the worse of your worries should be your panties showing lol!

I called Dr. Spiegels office twice 2day and all they told me is come in tomorrow morning. I asked when they said whenever in the morning. It kinda aggrivates me after Ive bragged on how great they have been to me yah know? Makes me look like an idiot. She treated me like duh! I called them with this same prob like a few weeks ago and they were like oh u need to eat more, okay tried that didnt work, now they are being kinda rude, so I HOPE that the person that answered that phone was having a bad day in general and just didnt feel like dealing with stuff for 1 day, because I dont like it when people are rude to me for no apparent reason lol! Oh btw, the nurse isnt in the BEST health herself, she probably needs to lose about 40lbs to be a skinny minny, I know why is she raggin on me, What? Diet pills didnt work for you either witch? I just hope I dont GAIN weight when they take some of this saline out. :eek: I HAVE to look GREAT by prom!
