....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.

but i really just need to know if this has happened to anyone else.

anyone??????

It happened to me too. You're not alone. I didn't go to the Dr though, I just drank 5 Mt. Dew's and it cured me....all better!

Just eat whatever you want as long as you cream it first ok?

Ummm....I can't eat anything or drink anything right now, even water is hard to get down. I just had a fill 2 days ago. Has this happened to anyone else, and am I too tight? I've lost 10 lbs in 2 days, so I really don't want to go get an unfill.

What do you guys think?

as long as you are loosing (heh) weight, you are fine. liquids are entirely overrated.

SURE! DO whatever you want as long as it is liquid. Try 3 beers a day. You should feel GREAT! :wink:

Testing my tickler.

Is pizza considered a liquid if you chew it very well? I ate pizza the day after my surgery because I was so hungry. I chewed it very well though. I could only eat half the pizza instead of the whole thing, so I know I didn't hurt my band.

oh, you'll be fine. i've been banded for almost 3 years and i know and have seen it ALL.

Would this be ok for the mushie stage? Couple pieces of pumpkin pie, 6 dollips of whip cream, 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, Nothing has to be fat free because it's going in the blender, right?

What about sticky buns? Half of one even? Is that considered a healthy choice?

What if I wash it down with ice cream and Mt Dew?

Save the Mt. Dew for when you have something stuck. You can drink some and it cures the PB!

it cures Peanut Butter??? :confused2:

What about vegemite?

LMFAO! I just read a post that we're all here just to scare people, and blah blah blah, if we spent as much energy on fixing our problems as we do bitching about it, we'd all be happier people. WHATEVER.

I've learned more about the REALITY of life with the band here than I've EVER learned from my surgeon. Don't get me wrong, I love my surgeon, but as far as just getting raw information, this is preferable to calling my surgeon's office every other minute of every other day. Even if we have to sift through a few pages of bullshit to find something useful.

What about vegemite?

OK, what the hell is vegemite, exactly??? I've heard a little bit about it, I've even googled it, but I'm still confused about what the stuff really is....

Yeah that one was ironic to me. Here's an obese person who's not banded, telling us we need to do something to fix our problems. I like that ironic bit of sagery. Like you can "do something" about having a port that's hard to access. Perhaps the OP is a proponent of self-surgery?

Vegemite (IPA: /ˈvedʒɪmɑɪt/) is a dark brown savoury food paste made from yeast extract, used mainly as a spread on sandwiches, toast and cracker biscuits, as well as a filling of pastries like Cheesymite scroll, in Australia and New Zealand. It is similar to British Marmite, New Zealand Marmite and Swiss Cenovis.

Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacture, and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste may be described as salty, slightly bitter, and malty - somewhat similar to the taste of beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky, much like peanut butter. It is not as intensely flavoured as Marmite and it is less sweet than the New Zealand version of Marmite.

Vegemite is popular with many Australians and New Zealanders, who commonly consider it a "national food." It is considered an Australian cultural icon and can be found in shops around the world, particularly where there are large populations of Australian expatriates. It has not been successfully marketed in other countries, apart from New Zealand, and has failed to catch on in the United States, despite being owned by U.S. food giant Kraft Foods. When seen in the United States, the Vegemite label often does not contain the Kraft logo.

My "second mother" growing up was from Australia and used to put that or Maramite on toast. I think I got used to it and liked it but now I don't remember.
