I don't understand "getting stuck"
*slim* replied to midwestchickie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I haven't experienced the pain type of stuck. Every time I have been what I thought was stuck, the food has been just sitting in my esophogus. What I don't understand is, why does the food sit in the esophogus anyway? I don't have restriction yet. That never happened to me before banding. How does it happen now? See how I just added more to your question instead of answering it? Sorry. -
Me, too.:laugh:

Why only at Christmas?

That's the problem though Tap. Christmas starts in September now. I don't know why or how. I remember when Christmas didn't start until the Friday after Thanksgiving. You didn't put up decorations. You didn't buy presents. You didn't hear Christmas songs in the stores until after Thanksgiving. Where did that go?

OMG!!! That is exactly what I was picturing!:laugh:

What a visual!:laugh:

I am a card carrying memeber of scales anonymous. I jump on the scale every time I go to the bathroom. I have tried to put it up, but so far I haven't been able to last even an entire day. My husband refuses to get involved with me and the scale so he won't hide it for me. What is a girl to do? -
It takes a little while to feel normal again. Once your swelling goes down, you will start to get hungry again. It just takes time. Don't give up yet. You only have a short time for the liquid phase compared to the lifetime of lving with the band. It will get better soon.

Congrats! Every pound lost is worth celebrating! WOOHOO!

How about an audio book?

Actually, one of my nutty neighbors does this already. He puts out these blow up things in October that represent Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The only thing he does is remove the frankenstein blow up the day after halloween.

You didn't even have to beg. Done!:eek:

It's too early for Christmas!!! My son has been making his list since September. He has already asked to take out his Santa hat. Bah humbug!!!!

PJTP-Been up since 3:15am. I got called into work. I am back home now, but I have to go back in a couple of hours. There is no point in going back to sleep, but I sure want to. ***sighs***

Sash, don't worry about that. We are all going to lose at different rates. As long as you are not gaining, then you are doing great! My weight loss slowed down dramtically after going back on real food. Just take it one day at a time! We are going to make it!

I am in that "no one can tell" catagory. I keep getting the "have you lost any weight" guestion. That gets upsetting because you know that you have lost, but if the people that know you and look at you can't tell... :cursing:I'll just say it burns my bum.

I can't even sleep to 7:30. I went to work at 3am and I am still awake. ugggg

25 pounds so far.

Well, that just let me know how ignorant I am of world places. I remember geography from school, but now I couldn't find my own head if it wasn't on my shoulders.

Good to see you GG!

I got a little tear just reading this. It gives me something to look forward to. Keep up the good work!

Check with your doctor about your pills. My doctor's rule of thumb is if the pill is the size of an M&M or smaller, I can swallow it whole. I have some pills that I just cut in half to get them to that size rather than crushing. I couldn't stand the taste. Like I said though, check with your doctor about your particular medicines. Good luck!

Ambra-Don't be discouraged. You know that didn't put the weight on overnight. We are all going to have to learn patience. It is so hard. I know I stuggle, but I try to keep it in my head that this will take time. There have been several times I wanted to just give up. It is too soon for us to give up. We have NOT failed. You keep up the good work. Our time will come. Let's stay motivated Samurai!

Ok, what is your hint? What tells you that you had better not take another bite? I had my first PB the other day, but I don't know if I missed my hint. I didn't feel overly full or stuffed or anything. I was trying to eat slow. I just don't know. Help me figure this out?
