:clap2: There Yoda i started my own thread.I know it's about time.Does anybody get the hiccups when they eat? I eat slower and still get them,then i slime quite a bit after hiccups. I think this is my sign as i have to quit eating.

You are doing really awesome Loriely!!!!

Thanks Cloe i am on a plateau right now.235lbs for last 3 weeks.WILLPOWER NOW. You are doing great too.

I thought i would buy benefiber for the constipation to try.what a great product.I put in in my cereal and the is NO taste to it. no grit whoa

I used Benefibe for a couple of weeks and did not find that it helped much. I then tried Milk of Magnesia (MOM) and found relief.

milk of magnesia is the most awful tasting stuff i've ever tried, i'd have to be reeeeaaaalllly constipated to drink that again!

For me, the benefibre worked well only if I drank a ton of water. I liked the idea that you can put it in anything and not taste it at all.

the MoM is so disgusting; I tried it once and I swear....NEVER again...no matter what!!

I do use Benefibre in my Protein drinks and therefore I don't taste it. However when I've tried it in Water (nothing else)...I do find it quite gritty and to me it tastes gross....but as I said ...in my Protein Drink I don't even know it is there!

Mr Loriely can't get his ticker to move but he has lost 25 lbs so far. He is please too.

How do you sign up for canadian lapbanders? I have been trying for 3 months now and starting to get pissed off at it .

Loriely, you should PM Mandi, she's an expert. I find the whole website totally confusing!!

Let me know if you're successful signing up for the Canadian lap band site, Loriely. I tried once and wasn't accepted and I can't even contact them to ask why (because I already applied. Go figure.)

Me too!!! Me too!!!, i even spoke to Marie at DR.Cobourn's office, she said she would talk to the moderater for me, still nothing, i guess they don't want us there, or else they need to get a new moderater.

Maria:)

HMmmmm I don't get what the problem is. I signed up for that site wayyyy back (before I was banded even) and I was on it immediately (okay, well a few hours). Of course, I haven't been back since about May.....WAAAAY non-user friendly!!!!

I hate the fact that it is sooooooo not user friendly. I gone there so many times trying to get a grasp of it, FOR NOT!!! It makes me sooo MAD!!

Yah, I tried to get into Canadian Lapbanders and...fuggedaboudit! I got into a computer loop.
