Funny this thread was the first one I saw this morning! Here is why..I take abot 12 pills ..yes 12 in the am and around 14 in the pm! I HATE it but thats the way it is. For a year now I have been getting sick taking my meds and I got plain sick and tired of it last night! Only 3 of my meds can be crushed, none come in liquids .. well I said the heck with it and CRUSHED all my pills to a fine powder and put them in pudding to take. Two big swallows later I was done no gagging ...no sliming no throwing up! It was wonderful! I did not know what the effects would be...but the only thing that happened was the side effects hit me faster and I fell asleep really fast. Other than that I was fine..I wish I could crush all the time! I am going to call Walgreens this am and see how much troulble this could cause if I did it on a regular basis. It was soo nice not to get sick on pills! Oh well we will see!

I see... very interseting.Thanks for your input. Good luck in your practice!

I had a history of bulimia prior to getting my band. It had been treated and under control for years. However since having this band it has reared its ugly head again in a very strong way! I have not had good luck with keeping things down since day one. Food and medications get stuck with every meal.When things get stuck.. I am bringing them up. This is happening soo much I have to keep a cup handy to purge in just in case I cannot get to the bathroom. Yes a vomit cup..no house should be without one! ha! [i have to make fun of it or I would cry.] I do not get it! I take my time, take teeny bites and chew till goo! I finaly got so frustrated I resorted to soft foods which has..for me meant weight gain not loss! Everytime I go for a check up they do a Floro and say my band is fine! I have a 4cc band and have 1.8 fill. But the bottom line is I am spending way too much time with my head over the toilet again! The ability to purge so easily based on my history is not a good asset to bring to the table. My old habit is not helping an already very bad sittuation! I am seeing a therapist about my bulimia, so at least you know I consider that a priority. What do you think I need to do? Thanks!

Dear Ousooner! Once again Thank you for my Anti Frosty! Have a very Happy B- Day!!

WalMart sells a cost effective one called one EAS Advant that I like and I am fussy.

Welcome to Bandland! Sounds like the normal trials and tribulations of a true bandster!:welldone2:

I have not seen mine in a while they hide under my arm pitts..I think I am still the same cup size...LONGER! Ha! Sorry but it's true!

Not No but ....HELL NO! If my heart and personality was not good enough before it sure is not good enough now! If all they care about is my physical beauty then I do not want them! I will tell you what..it would be a whole different world out there if all we ever looked at and cared about was a man's WHO_HA! Men would be alot more humble.But Geeze! What a nightmare that would be? But back to this... I sware it is sittuations like this that make you want to give up trying to date and just be alone with dogs and cats! Just my take on it.

I guess it is the stress of the holidays and the fact that my depression {bipolar 2} is so much worse this time of the year...But I am having a very hard time controling my bulimia. The urge to purge everything I eat is almost overwhelming. I am working with my therapist but it is still bad! Anybody else fighting the eating disorder deamons right now? If so what do you do to cope?

For anybody even THINKING of xenical read this thread!

I figured I would get this back out there...important for newbies and wannabies.

I used to have to wear the scary mask ..the whole 9 yards because mine was really bad. I lost 20 pounds and I no longer need to sleep with all that stuff. I still snore ..but the apnea is basicly gone. Good luck to you!

Because you wont be able to see your Who-Who without lifting up your lovely tummy first! And even then it takes a minute down there! Ha! Sorry but ya know it's true! I cannot remember the last time me or anybody else for that matter saw mine! Should I file a missing Who - Who report?

Florida has been smoke free for awhile now, you can finaly call it the Sunshine State again because you can see the sun again now that the smoke has cleared! ha! There is a loop hole in our law. You can still go to The Hard Rock Seminole Indian Reservation Casino in Tampa and puff all you want!

:rip: Peter Boyle who played the father on Everybody Loves Raymond died today. he had been sick with multiple melanoma and heart problems. He was also famose for being Frankenstein in the movie Young Frakenstein. The acting world had a bight star burn out today! Our prayers to his loved ones.

OMG do I wish that were the case with me! Count your blessings, chocolate goes in the band VERY easy! I fight my cravings everyday! Sometimes I do not win sad to say.

I have been banded a year now and am still struggling because of my poor choices! I am on the right track now and I will succeed THIS time around! But honest to God the band is a great TOOL and only a TOOL! It is only as good as the choices you make! It is better to walk into this with you eyes wide open than with rose colored glasses on. Good luck to you!

Tis the season for major stress! Listen to your Dr's they have your best intrest at heart. You must be soo careful not to give in to the urge to restrict so severly. I know it is hard to do when you want the weight off so bad! I go thru it daily trying not to purge my food! I have learned that if you will be kind to your body and it will reward you. Pick up the phone and call that dear friend of yours and tell them how much they mean to you. Before you know it you will start to feel some sence of peace. You take good care! We are all here if you need us!

:(Talk about going from the frying pan into the fire!!! What do you mean you have changed to anorexia? I do not mean to be rude ...BUT HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? It is not like switching toothpastes! You do not just decide to switch an eating disorder. For your information Anorexia , that you so casualy speak of , will kill you faster than bulimia! The disease is killing thousands as we sit here! I may catch grief for what i am about to say but so what it would not be the first time. I do not think you know what you're talking about! I think your just using the word anorexia for the impact it creates...in other words to get attention. That makes me angry when you play around with such a deadly disease that soo many people ARE actualy suffering with not to mention dying from! I hope what I am saying is true for you...that you do not know what your talking about! FYI... I lost my best friend to anorexia 3 yrs ago and I would not wish this disease on anyone!!! That is why I am soo passionate about this! So I truly hope you do not know what your saying. If you do and are actualy sick...God help you! You need to be in a treatment clinic where you can get the love and care you need. But it is my gutt feeling just by reading your words that... thank goodness is not the case. Next time think before you throw the word Anorexia around..especialy when it comes to saying you chose to have it! Good Luck to you.

Everything will fall into place once you bet the ball rolling and you will be a member of Bandland before you know it! I will say this to you about the band. It is not a miracle cure. You will not become banded and have all your issues with food taken away. Everything that made you over weight will still be with you! The band will allow you to eat less, but at best it is only a wonderful weight loss TOOL. The band is only as good as the CHOICES you make while having it. So being successful with the band takes alot of hard work, both mentaly and physicaly. You have to be ready to really change. Thank goodness the band is always ready when WE are! I have been banded a year and am still trying to get it right..and I will. I just wanted to convey how important it is to know that the band is only as good as our actions. Good luck on your journey!

Okay I hate working out with a passion..the red hot passion of a thousand suns!!! I do not like it Sam I am! But I know in order to get this disgusting fat off my body I am going to have to do it. I have a membership to Planet Fitness and....AND Bally's! But will I step outside my house and go? No! Hell walking to get into the car to go to the gym would be more exercise than I am getting now!I have tried everything else but working out regularly.. so something tells me that might be my answer! Duh? So how did you push yourself when you got stuck getting started like me?
