I'll be honest

I notice you attack me every time Reverie. I am obviously losing weight and my tests result come out very healthy. Why don't you lay off already? Good grief!

Banded,I'm going to side with Reverie on this discussion. The information you suggested is potentially harmful... if you are too tight & quickly drink cold Water,or any Fluid hot or cold,you could aspirate the Fluid into your lungs.This is a serious risk! I know you are trying to be helpful& these forums are filled with many posters giving opinions or suggestions without the benefit of medical training. I am an RN,BSN with almost 40yrs. of experience.

O.K.,,,,, my 2 cents only! Join myfitnesspal.com it's free, and it tracks your calories, Protein, exercise, and keeps it in memory. Most of all it's free !

I use it all the time, and i keep a eye on calories, and Protein mostly. On the home page you can chat with people from this site, a lot of us are over there, and it is a good thing.

I know what your talking about, when it comes to not being able to swallow Water, "THE RED ZONE" I been there too. They looked at mind under Fluoroscope, and filled me to my fill line. I'm fine !

If it's necessary, then maybe your surgeon will consider that, do to your fear. It is SCARY! That will work, another thing is to fill you, and with the needle still in the port, have you sit up, and drink Water. He will put in Fluid untill you say stop, or it comes up. Then he will back it off, and you should drink fine. That's another way.

So Good Luck on whatever you do, but like I said,,,,, there are ways to get around it.
