Cleo's Mom, I fell asleep and woke up hoping it was gone, but it's still there. I haven't eaten anything today, I will try a shake or some hot soup next. Justbanded, I did read and sympathized with your carrot issued I also LMAO about the picture reference. Believe me you came to mind a few times today as I was wishing for a horror episode similar to yours! I told myself I should never have laughed!! If food does not help, a diet coke is my next try. I really do appreciate the help from everyone, this is so much better than panicking and doing nothing, and this board is so valuable!!

Oh, I have plenty of capsules! Today was the first time I had ever taken one....and the last. Should I heat the oil and honey? I'll try that after I put the heating pad on my chest and throat for awhile. When I lay down, my chest does hurt a bit, but I still feel it when I swallow. Thanks

I really don't think it has ever made it to my stomach. Perhaps my upper esophagus, but that's it and it's now 6 1/2 hours. At least the H.C. filled me up so I'm not hungry.

Now that's a laugh! I don't think so! I have spinal disease and I'm in need of a huge surgery! In fact, if I don't get to take a pain pill soon, I'm going to have some serious problems. Thanks for trying though. After 3 cups of hot cocoa, I had to give it a rest and the damn thing still sits there on the left side it seems.

Believe me, you do not need to tell me not to take another one of these capsules. I only still have them due to the experiment and in case I need to show the DR!! I am on my third cup of Hot chocolate already and no relief yet. It has dissolved most of the way in the H.C. cup after nearly an hour, but is still intact in the tea. This has to work. If not, maybe this much H.C. will make me bring it up!

You must be a science major as that was a very good idea and showed me exactly what the problem is, trouble is I don't know if I can help it. I put a capsule in hot tea w/lemon, hot chocolate, and hot chicken broth. The capsule floats on top and does not even begin to dissolve in the broth or tea. The hot choc did froth a bit over it and it started to dissolve a bit, but stays quite intact and hard. I put a glucosamine capsule of the same size and outer comp. in the hot tea. It floated a couple minutes, then sank to the bottom, and dissolved with a few minutes. I will be drinking hot cocoa the next couple hours, but now I fear I will just have to find a way to bring that capsule back up because by looking at them in that hot liquid all this time, I don't think it's going down. Now, please, anyone have any ideas for making me vomit or pb or whatever I should do. I have only vomited a couple times in my life and I'm not very good at it!

Ah, that sounds like an idea to try. I will do that right now. I already drank coffee and that didn't do it. Thanks

I don't think it's dissolved because I still feel it every time I swallow

OMG, I was wondering about that! It's called paranil, a liver and colon purifying complex, supposed to kill parasites or anything else one would not want hovering inside them.

Oh, I forgot, but I also ate a pudding right after when I felt it stuck.

Thanks for the info! I get tired just reading about your exercise routine!! That's an area I am trying to improve on. I do my PT and ride my exercise bike, but need to increase time and days on the bike! You should be inspiration to lots of people!

30 pounds. Thanks!!

Hmm, I do believe the high was right around 72 on Jan 16th. I was a bit chilly going out in the morning, had to run back for a sweater!!

LOL, It's not funny, I know. But, when I read her post and looked at the photo I was thinking she maybe took a picture!!!!!!! I sure hope you're feeling better. I think you should be ok. I would ask the Dr., but from what I was told, you would have to do that repeatedly to mess up your band.

That's incredible!!! I want full details of your daily eating and exercise schedule!!!!!!!!! (if you want of course lol). Congratulations!!

Sounds like you've chosen a healthy way of eating!! I was banded on 11/24 too!!

I was told no OJ post op due to the acid in it. I hate apple juice and the other options so I didn't drink juice.

Wow, That's unbelievable. Be happy, Gloria, that your follow up care was minimal. I hope you find a very good Dr to work out the problems you are having with your band.

I found it 2 for 1 on ebay. I like using the gel too!

Don't forget a small amt of good oil each day!!

Peanut butter is actually very healthy and you can buy organic sugar free. Often people stop losing weight if they are not getting any good fat in their diet. I try to remember to cook my eggs with olive oil.

What is spin class??

I am having a bit of a problem with it as well. I know it's not shakes with me as I seldom indulge, and I doubt it's protein as I was on a high protein diet for several yrs with no problems. Perhaps it's the fast initial weight loss or the low calorie intake the body is adjusting to. I'm not sure.

You shame me! You all probably do! I keep talking to myself about more exercise. I do a bit each day. I just need to put it all together!!

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
