My problem is an eating problem. When I start eating, I can't stop. My "I'm full nerve" is absolutely broken and not working. By elliminating eating, I would be removing the underlying issues related to my eating......even if I don't understand what my eating issues are. Eventually, I could return to eating, but continue to use an Optifast style diet as a tool to maintain a steady weight.

I was considering trying my luck on Optifast(liquid meal replacement) instead of Lapband surgery. What do you think of this idea? I was considering that my problem is mainly an eating problem. A liquid diet might work, because it totally eliminates the act of eating from my lifestyle. Does this make sense? please be brutal and tell me what you think. thanks Tyler

When the $100 every 2 weeks that you used to spend on lunches at work is now being used to top up your retirement savings plan.

Can you please provide details on how you drink Water? ( hehe - that sounds like a silly question) ie how often? how much? when do you drink it? I'm asking because I have read that water will wash the food past the band, so what is the general recommendation? do I drink lots of water 20 minutes befor eating, then avoid it during my meal, and avoid it until 30 minutes before the next meal?

Does anyone know of a life insurance company that might insure me even if it is for a smaller amount with a higher premium? ( I am obese, and I have diabetes Type 2) Any recommendations would be appreciated. I'll do the homework if all you have is a Company name. Thank you Tyler

LOL you guys are cracking me up. ROTFL

You see a 5 year old eating a candy bar and think, "I can take him".

when you realize that your favorite eating utensil is a toothpick

when you find yourself having medical discussions with your doctors, nurses and pharmacists and easily keeping up with them or outpacing them!

You go to the mall to walk instead of shop...

when as a newbie, you convince yourself that everyone wants the last half of your water bottle because its still cold.

when you realize that you aren't the only compulsive obsessive on the internet.

when people that know you think you aren't eating enough, and people that don't know you think that you aren't eating enough, too.

You spend an hour trying to get your "ticker" to work right!

I once said to my friends " I know that if there was something you could say that would help me, you would say it. For that I feel blessed. Otherwise most of this talk is often annoying, insulting, or embarrassing." Some of them never mention it anymore. And, I've accepted that the others are trying not say anything anymore.

1.3cc now holds more meaning than 883 cc(harley davidson sportster)

your remote control now doubles as a food tray

LOL please help me out, I'm running out of ideas.

the problem with doctors is they are very busy. I got cancelled today. No problem though, my plans are for Sep, and the place I have contacted is taking bookings 5 weeks out.

...when someone asks you to donate food and your response is "I gave at the office."

...............when you see some spilled ice cream on a countertop and think........hmmmmm.....a tablespoon and a half.

when you go to church and the communion wafer causes you to miss your mid morning snack

when you go to a restaurant and ask for the doggie bag before you start to eat!

you get annoyed when you can't find a nutritional label on your bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey
