I took 3 bites and realized that it was stuck, so I pulled over and got out of my car and put my hands up trying to get unstuck . I end up throwing up :( was so mad because I was starving

That's awful. It's ridiculous how eating healthy costs so much more than junk. How can it cost more when it has less ... less sugar... less carbs... etc. It's a shame that people trying to eat right struggle to pay for it.

As to whatever situation you're going thru... I am not ashamed to admit I have been there and I can only hope and pray that better days are ahead.

You'll have to make choices for the rest of your life.

I have $1, I'm hungry and I'm out and about doing errands.

Hmmmm, the $1 menu or stop by a real store and get a piece of fruit.

Living in San Antonio, TX I deal with this a lot. Taco places on every street corner and I really want one. But, make the wise choice and this lap band journey will take you to places you've always wanted to go but couldn't.

Is it possible for you to go to a Soup kitchen to get one good meal in. It is not good for you or anyone to be so hungry.

Is there a friend you can go to for assistance or a hot meal?

Good luck to you.

Find a social service agency that helps people in your predicament. Most cities have a service that allows you to dial 211 and they can direct you to some that can help. Praying for you!

Family services is not the only option like the above person commented! Call your local churches, food banks, etc. There are a ton of free or nominal care services in my area. Some offer free food, discounted groceries, canned goods, etc. We all need help sometimes and if it's for better health, it's worth it. Your life is worth it. :) Explain you situation to the care worker, they can probably keep directing you to other people who can help. Good luck and best wishes. If you need my help looking up some information on this stuff, PM me and I'll send you a list & numbers to call in your area. :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
