      No :( I'm going to talk to a doctor. And also find some natural medicine to help. I hope my doctor can find out what's wrong. I sometimes can't eat anything at lunch because of this.

      I will have to survive. Need to get it out of mind. I was testing this special Christmas drink that we have (non alcoholic) and well nope. For the first time in 37 years I will not have it for Christmas. But yeah I will learn to do without. I'll find something instead :)

    Today I celebrate my one year Surgical Anniversary! On Monday, July 28, 2014 Dr. Alan Leslie Schuricht performed a gastric sleeve on me at Pennsylvania Hospital where I weighed 343 pounds (my high weight was 363 pounds) and a year later I am 143 pounds lighter and weigh 220 pounds! Thanks Dr. Schuricht and Penn Bariatric Medicine! Thanks to the following: Dr. Sara Slattery and the team from Penn Medicine Fitness Now; Beth Marks, www.GetFitNowNJ.com and Kennedy Health Bariatric Fitness; Personal trainers from the YMCA of Burlington and Camden County! I am also thankful today to my beautiful wife, Jan and my great kids Liz and Matt!

      I want to explain, I couldn't eat because my muscles wouldn't allow the food to pass because of the anxiety

    1. lapband78

      lapband78

      Yeah normally we should only eat for about 20-30 minutes but I could hardly get a bite and the amount of food I had on my plate was very small.

      lapband78

      Yes, it's my best friend, my band. I tried eating lunch and it took me one hour to get it down (had to reheat it even) so no way I'm gonna cheat on my friend.

      My first panic attack since I had the surgery... so this is a new lesson
