Open vs Closet Bander Questions
every one knows i have a lap band now, i couldnt really hide it as i was ill after my op, i dont really mind who knows, and for the people that dont know i dont mind discussing it if the subject arises. some people will judge and automatically think it was the easy way out but i soon put them right and explain what its all about.

Anyone Have Mucas But No PB's?
its because when u have eaten ya tummy becomes blocked and the natural saliva u swallow has no where to pass to so it builds up, and comes back up as it cant pass thro your stomach

SOTC thread...Why NOT to post when your angry
god ???????? what a load of crap no such person or thing even exsists. we all make our own lives our own mistakes our own luck, life is what each individual makes it. we make our our destiny. so NO praying dont work as there aint such a person as god. god didnt make me have a lap band,i did it as my own choice as a human being, not some figment of my imagination. all this crap like i got a band because it was gods choice 4 me 2 have it, thats rubbish !!!!!! this god thing is all brainwashing. we all have our own minds. im going now as this subject is annoying me. bye :phanvan

Drinking while eating poll
i dont drink with meals because it stops the band doing its job,it either makes me sick or it pushes the food through the band so thats defeating the object of having the band so now i dont do it i have my drinks right up 2 needing a meal then i can drink again about 30 mins to an hour after a meal.

Do you ever just get weary?
Yes i feel like that 2 on some days, im 18 months banded and it is normal to feel like this ocasionally, its a big lifestyle change that we have gone through, and some times we do think back to the way our eating habbits once were, i still lapse on ocasions but get right back on track as soon i can. Its alot to come to terms with mentally as most of us are leaving our old lives behind and beging a new one. The old cravings become less frequent as time goes by but i think its just all part of the process of having a lap band and coming to terms with it.
