i live 2.5 hours from my doctor and he said that wouldnt happen to that extreme because they always make us drink a lot before we leave to make sure it stays. but my surgen said my local hospital could do it if i really needed them to

Your NO-NO list
my doctors told me that i can eat anything, but not a lot and not often. I am at a clinic of all bandsters under 18, so they figure the second they say "YOU CANNOT HAVE THIS", what ever it is you crave like mad. but personally, my no no is fast food, i will NOT eat it

Getting Stuck and Unstuck
BREAD BREAD BREAD. oh my goodness do i have to be careful with that. and meat, i just got venison stuck not 10 minutes ago. and i also agree with julie, i get scrambled eggs stuck too and dont drink ontop of something stuck, it just makes it worse

I need my lapfriends!
ice cream is so hard to pass up. i know exactly how you feel. i dont keep any in the house,a nd i seem to be able to not buy any at the store just because i feel like everyone is starring. I dont get it anywhere else because i dont eat fastfood at all (except blimpie, subway and soup from schlozkeys (sp??? lol)) we really have all been in the same place, you can get through this, just dont let ice cream mean that much to you. and if you need it, only have ONE serving, i know its only like a half a cup but you can do it!

August Bandsters How are you Doing So Far
