Alert the media. The fickle bitch I call my LapBand is back in business. Just when I thought that my restriction had tapered off and I was just dieting on my own, the bitch rears her ugly head with a surprise PB to remind me that she's still here. You know, God forbid I pride myself on losing a few pounds on my own without feeling any restriction. This bitch wants all the credit.

I can almost hear her laughing as I wait for this hot tea to gurgle on through.

Tammy -

I read about your constipation - are you alright now? I was worried about you! have you been doing enough liquids? Girl, you hang in there!

StrawartS, you make me laugh everything I read your posts. When I get things stuck I find it helps to either stand or sit up really straight and dry swallow HARD. If you aren't in a public place you can also put your arms above your head. It helps me. I find that if I drink a lot to try and get the offending lump down, I barf up the liquid and the lump stays.
