....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

Yuk, doesn't it? I'd rather be on liquids than hurl. Ewwie. Do you know when you're about to PB? I was going to make a smart ass DS comment but am refraining.

SNT, I always know if a PB is coming. It feels like I swallowed a cinderblock, my eyes start watering and my nose starts running. Pleasant picture, huh? Luckily, the learning curve on what your band "likes" is pretty steep.

I haven't PB'd many times, but I definetly know when it is coming. I usually feel like I have swallowed an elephant...sideways. Then my mouth starts watering a bit...and up it comes. It isn't like a normal throw up incident though. I have never had the acid...just a lot of really thick slime.

Mmmmm....this conversation is as yummy as that god awful 12 food sandwich Froggi posted!

Umm, can someone please explain this to me, cause I don't understand:

"Regurgitating...that's fine. That's a tool you'll use on your journey in re-learning how to eat.

I do it often and sometimes daily...and I'm on maintenance."

How is that fine? To me that is either too tight or Anorexia/Bulimia?

Plain and Salsa: rofl - verrrrry attractive!

I guess I was just trying to make sure that one can make it to the RR and that one doesn't just projectile blow!!

Susan - wouldn't that eat up your teeth too? Again, ewie!

I think a little of all three with a side serve of stupidity.

Who BRAGS about it? Seriously?

You'll have plenty of notice (or, more accurately, I do). The thing is, a PB doesn't (or at least shouldn't) happen very often. It's usually when I try "new" foods or get in a hurry that I sometimes PB. It's certainly not a daily, or even monthly thing.

Yeah, that is just insane, and she is telling newbies that it is ok? That is just scary.

Whew! Y'all don't scare me into NOT get banded!!!

Yeah, that is just insane, and she is telling newbies that it is ok? That is just scary.

Ok I'm about as new as new comes but HELLO, what person w/ a shred of common sense doesn't know that a lot of vomiting is bad for you; much less bad for your band? Hello peeps!

OMG, are you kidding me??!! I just read her warning post. Thank goodness I didn't read it prior to getting banded or I never would have had it done. I got the band to get healthy, not be sick all the time, fatigued, etc. I mean seriously, how many people have had those problems? Since getting the band I have experienced the exact opposite of what she is warning people to expect because I am eating healthier and exercising.

Ok, rant done.

But, she is a "Sucess Story"!!!1!

I would get slapped on the hand for saying what she really is.

Ha! What if she discourages people from banding? That would be so sad based on one whack job. :-(

Oh no, she is in chat and I can't not believe some of the stuff she is suggesting.

Froggi - You are a dog. I about busted a stich when you quoted her in chat. You went WAAAAAAYYYY up in my book girl!

okay... I couldn't stay in the chat room. She is an f'ing idiot. No way in hell a doctor would approve her diet...and if they did they need to be stripped of their medical license. WOW I though my doc that told me that it was alright to pass out as long as you were within 20 feet of the bathroom was an A #1 moron....I guess there is actually a stupider one out there. I guess it would make a good patient/doctor fit. OY VEH!
