I'm staying on plan today because I'm HUNGRY and probably need a fill.

I didn't post in that thread, because ALL I could think to say over there to the OP was to go blow it out their arse, and that's not very nice, so I thought I'd vent a bit here. I feel a little better now.

OK, what the hell is vegemite, exactly??? I've heard a little bit about it, I've even googled it, but I'm still confused about what the stuff really is....

LMFAO! I just read a post that we're all here just to scare people, and blah blah blah, if we spent as much energy on fixing our problems as we do bitching about it, we'd all be happier people. WHATEVER. I've learned more about the REALITY of life with the band here than I've EVER learned from my surgeon. Don't get me wrong, I love my surgeon, but as far as just getting raw information, this is preferable to calling my surgeon's office every other minute of every other day. Even if we have to sift through a few pages of bullshit to find something useful.

Go for it if you must. Be aware that it has a laxative effect, though. It even says that right on the packaging, so don't overdo it. Personally, as long as I'm not having very much, I just have a little bit of the real thing.

Save the Mt. Dew for when you have something stuck. You can drink some and it cures the PB!

All that pouty crap she does gets on my nerves. The girl can sing, but I can't stand her.

I think that is probably a very normal fear. I wasn't self-pay, but I remember worrying about that, too. If you aren't having symptoms of a slip, though, try not to stress too much about it, because even though slips do happen, they're fairly rare. If you're searching on LBT for threads about it, and it seems like there are a lot, even that isn't a good gauge of how often it happens, because in MANY cases, people don't search out online support for something that isn't causing them problems. When they do start having problems, they'll go out looking for a place where they can ask questions and get support. I hope this helps. If it doesn't, call your surgeon and tell them about how you're feeling, and maybe they can help put your mind at ease.

Ummm....I can't eat anything or drink anything right now, even water is hard to get down. I just had a fill 2 days ago. Has this happened to anyone else, and am I too tight? I've lost 10 lbs in 2 days, so I really don't want to go get an unfill. What do you guys think?

*snort* You are one funny lady! Welcome to LBT!

Oh, it'll be ok, just go on liquids for a few days.

I'm staying on plan today because I'm so close to dropping down in to the 220's....

I don't even click on those threads anymore out of fear that I won't be able to censor myself.

MMmmm... Who woulda thunk of using a chip dip for chicken salad? Sounds wonderful! It will be great on wasa crackers, or anything crunchy.

Good for you, not allowing someone else to plant negatives in your head about something that can be such a positive in your life. I'm also very glad that she had the good sense to walk away instead of standing there and trying to talk you out of it anyway. Good luck on Tuesday!

Can anyone tell me why people can't read the word TICKER without their brain adding in an L, transforming the word TICKER into the word TICKLER? I mean, what the bloody hell. I saw 2 brand new threads TODAY asking how to get a tickler. It's becoming one of my biggest pet peeves.

WTH are we all doing on here after midnight on Saturday night? Shouldn't we be offline doing something fun?

I can puree things in my mouth with spit. It's the same as a clear liquid, right?

Weee! I was really getting frustrated there. Let's hope that NEVER happens again! LOL

I'm getting pissed off that LBT is so freaking slow today.

What if you CAN? I don't think anyone here would have resorted to WLS if they could be successful dieting, and keeping the weight off. And remember, you're never a failure until you quit trying.

My surgeon wants me getting around 60 grams of Protein and 64 oz Water every day. You said that meats are hard for you. What is your restriction like? Hard Proteins are ideal, and if you can't get them down, it might be that you're just a bit too restricted, which can hinder weight loss. A SLIGHT unfill might do the trick.

My stomach growls a lot when I'm not hungry. To quiet it down, try drinking some water, and wait a few minutes before you eat anything, and really think about whether it's hunger or just noise. :wink2:
