    FLHgal got a reaction from John Hicks in What To Do When Food Gets Stuck?   
    PB PB PB....when it happened it is because I did not chew or the bite was just more than I needed.
    Th e slimes are the worst. I agree; I rarely go out to eat; can;t eat enough to make it work buying A TACO at the Tex Mex place. Had a stuck while out with friends, they thought I was choking and asked if I needed help.

    Oregon Chai makes a sugar free Chia mix that is to die for. Mix with Skim milk and vanilla protein powder; the best shake I have had to date.

    I want to remind everyone that it is important to have your personal physician monitor your medications as you travel this new journey.
    On 7/11 my husband passed out and fell hitting his head. After a trip to the ER; we learned that he was dehydrated severely.
    The problem was he was till taking the dosage of BP med and Fluid med were fine when he weighed 325.....but now at 221....the meds were TOO much. Medication readjusted; and a new family doctor has been choose.
    Yep; my honey has lost 104 since 11/29/11. So very proud of him. ME ? Well I'm still puttin along..slow but steady...88 pounds since 11/30/12.
    Please stay on top of this issue. We have all worked so hard to be in better health, don't let a situation like this TAKE YOU OUT.

    me too. I'm a size 22/24 pants and I would love to be a size 16. I remember last when I was a size 16 and I was unhappy being that size, I dropped down to a size 8 by pretty much starving myself and that's when my yo yoing really began. Up and down , Up and down and then just up up up. So I feel that size sixteen is doable and maintainable with the help of the lap band.

    Get to your dentist, I had to get new dentures as I was unable to chew meats and was living on hard boiled eggs and tuna.

    I have lost over 110 pounds in less than 6 months, so yes, I would do it again in a heartbeat. It's the best decision I've ever made for myself.
    You hit on a major point- it's not a magic bullet. Too many people go into this seriously uneducated to the facts and expect the band to "fix" them. It doesn't work that way. It's a tool, not a sprinkle of magic fairy dust. You have to change your eating habits for a lifetime no matter what type of WLS surgery you decide to have.
