Hi Zoomomma--I'm remembering back when I was taking the Wellbutrin and I think you're going to be ok. I had to take some chunky anti-biotics right after surgery and I was able to do that alright. Just like Nanook said, warm beverages like tea can be relaxing and helpful! If you are going to crush the Wellbutrin, double check with your dr. or your pharmacist would know too. I know that the extended release Wellbutrin is compromised if crushed, so that's no good. But, if you're on the older Wellbutrin it might be fine.

Hi Nanook...Sorry I've been absent for so long :tongue: There's been a lot going on. I just wanted to say that I think it's quite natural to know you're not alone in your circumstances, no matter how many times you post to ask. I've gotten to know you over these past months through your posts and pm's, and I think you've got a handle on your situation. Like the other poster said, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. What's best for you may be totally unique compared to anyone at LBT!

Hey that's great--I hope your fill goes smoothly! I also really like that Sutter clinic just off of 80 in Fairfield; it's nice to go someplace brand new :blushing: ....just try not to hang out outside and breath in the smokey air--it's been so bad lately. Best wishes!

Ginny...are there any online groups or forums for Bulimia specifically you can join to help support you? LBT of course is definitely here for you--as you can see there's even a place for those that have been debanded. I worry about more than just the throwing part that endangers the band and your health. If you find yourself doing the binging part as well, then overeating can cause obstructions, damage to your esophagus--the list goes on. No matter what you do, please know that you seem to be a very brave person who really is seeking health--physical and mental. You had the courage to acknowledge the disorder (a feat in itself), seek therapy, and even undertake the daunting task of telling others about it. There are countless others who have struggled and not been able to do the things you've already done. There is hope for you, and I wish you the very best.

Jeez--I can't believe you were criticized for asking! Is there an Anti-Fellatio board I've never seen? Brush your shoulder off Froggi because you are in good company. And by that, I mean me. I'd be curious. So there. As for me, it's a consistency thing. I don't even like the way yogurt feels in my mouth, let alone something more....viscous? Anyhow, good luck with that, lady. Don't hurt yourself. :embaressed_smile:

I don't do the protein shakes at all--my doctor prefers his patients getting their protein through their diet.

I have Schizo-Friendia...I hear positive voices all the time telling me "you can do it!" Won't be takin' that one to therapy, no way.

Froggi...can we make you feel better by having a sexxxxy party a la Family Guy? I'll bring the Captain's hat and bikinnis!

My 4 fills have gone exactly that way. Twice by fluoro, twice without. My Dr. did one stick which only hurt when he said the words "little pinch!" He found my port even though I have an usually deep port that is angled in an odd way. Then, he helped me sit up and I drank Water till it started backing up in my throat a bit. I totally freak looking at needles to I never once looked down, only ahead/at my water bottle/at my doctor. He was also intently listening to me drink because it was hard for me to tell if water was backing up or if I had swallowed air. You're the first one I've noticed that had the same fill process as me! THanks for posting and good luck!
