    Drano - Hot Coke, add some lemon juice about a ounce and about 4T spoons meat tenderizer mix together and go to bathroom and it will come up as soon as is goes down and bring whatever is stuck with it. Do it twice if you need to. It might still feel like something is in there for a few minutes.

    Be sure and remember it will come right back up no time to run to bathroom be in there.

    I have been Banded over 3 years too. Just don't stress over it chances are it will heal but you can do nothing now so just pray it will heal. But too much stress and worry is not good for you and may even slow down your healing.

    As far as the diet every doctor is different so it won't hurt to give it a try. Hang in there you been through a really rough patch but it will get better.

    Just start over. I have been banded over 3 years and I start new all the time. Forgive yourself and move forward. Just think if we stopped at 10 lbs when we all first started gaining we would never have needed the band. You can lose 10 easier than 15, 20 or more. Don't wait start over. We are all doing it too you are not alone!

    LizzyWildflower glad to have someone join me. Today was tough but it is so much easier when you can make your own moves than to keep up with someone else's. I like to listen to Christian music and make it a prayer and praise time too. See ya tomorrow!

    I have stopped working out about 2 months ago. I can start to feel it now (tighter pants). So I hate to workout with tapes like Zumba and etc. only because I can not keep up with them.

    So today I promised myself I would start working out a again. So everyday from now until New Year Day I am gonna promise to put on some music and do my own dance for at least 30 minutes.

    But it would help to have some others doing it too. I know we could drop a few pounds. So if you want to join me it makes it easier to know others are doing it too let me know.

    If you really want to have a change in your life and most likely weight too . . . sounds like you need toughen up and head for that counseling chair. You will be surprised how much we hold inside and let bother us for years. You said you could not afford it I understand that but have you checked? Some therapist work on a sliding scale and some even offer free service.

    You stated "you don't want to go there" that makes me think that you know inside something needs to be fixed. Why would you spend all the time and money to have this surgery but not want to fix yourself on the inside? Counseling lets you let out all the stored up problems, pain, dissappointment, and shame that some feel. I did 3 years of counseling and loved it. Sometimes I left there swearing I would never go back, or saying to myself "How dare her say that" only to get home and a few hours later it hit me wow thats what she meant.

    You also said you didn't want your family to know, who is going to tell them? Probably you after you unload whats bothering you. You might be handing out business cards to those you love. It is scary facing life's problems and even harder to carry them around inside your mind and heart. I hope you will just check into it and see if it is something you can do. I would rather be fat than to load back up all those thoughts and feeling I carried around for years. I too will be praying for you.

    The best thing for being stuck is what they call “drano”. I was stuck about 4 days last Thanksgiving. I was not too tight just stuck. But I could still drink some liquid slowly. Another Bandster told me take some hot coke and mix some meat tenderizer and lemon juice. Go to bathroom and take one big drink and it will go down and right back up with whatever is stuck. It works trust me, in 3+ years I have only used this twice but works fast. You must be ready cause it will shoot back up lol

    I have a Total Gym that I love. If you buy a scratch and dent one from website you get newest version ½ price. It took me 6 months to figure out the small imperfection in mine - a scratch, not rip on padding. Love it.

    I also have an incline treadmill. I am not always as disiplined on treadmill but love the Total Gym.
