Thanks. I've just ordered the book from Amazon. After my initial loss of35lbs, I have gained and lost the same 5lbs for about 6 months. I have avoided another fill because, although I can eat more than I should be able to, there are still many many occasions where my band clamps shut, making it difficult even for liquids to pass. I have developed the habit of eating high fat/high sugar junk and it is shameful. cheese, chocolate and nuts/seeds. Ridiculous. But those things pass through - even bread is ok with me, though I slather it in butter to make it "go down easier"!!! I am hoping that this little confession will serve as the line I draw under the past few months of nonsense. :smile:

AirKuhl: I think photos are necessary. For scientific research purposes, you understand ... :devil:

No. But I had a sip of Champagne and my stomach erupted like a volcano! :eek:

The PBing on peanut butter probably irritated your stoma and made it swell. Happened to me once.

I would really like to see this study. Citation please?

That is EXACTLY what I experience :cursing::cursing:

I would never admit this anywhere else but on this site :thumbup: ... I keep some of those sanitary bags in my car door for emergencies! You know, the ones with that lady carrying a parasol on the front? I pinched a few from the toilets at work. Ssshhhh! :crying:

I'm gonna try this!

My PBs are always like that. The full retching, heaving and loud shouting "Huey!!" :w00t: I don't get the stomach acid though, so I guess I'm just a dramatic PBer... Does concern me re slippage though, as these episodes can be quite violent. :scared2:

Discovered these both by accident: 1) Run vigorously up and down stairs. Discovered when running to the loo to vomit up a piece of chicken which was stuck fast. Doesn't always work, but I do try it now at the first sign. 2) When above method not an option because driving a car, seek out some speed bumps and launch car at them. Dislodged a duck wrap last week using that method :biggrin: Any other "alternative" ideas?

Ditto. And the gurgling can sometimes go on for ages after I've stopped eating...

Ah, thanks. I was wondering if a "cup" was the same size as an average mug available everywhere in the UK...?

Anyone?

I've always wanted to know this: How big, exactly, is this mythical "cup"? :smile2:

Had a go at one of those montage thingies. Before and after shots from Dec 08 through to now. 31lbs total.
