Okay, well, I'm almost done losing all my weight... I lost 65 and I look and feel great.

Here's the thing. I've let all the saline leak out of my band (I don't need it, the band is PLENTY of restriction for me... I'm one of the lucky few)... not a lot gets stuck, and I can't eat a lot in one sitting, either. It's nice.... like...

...I can't eat bread, pasta, carrots or... ummm... well, when my fiancee and I are... physical... orally... and I... swallow... it gets stuck a little bit and I have to drink pineapple juice afterwards and work through it. What the heck is this?? It's freaking weird and a little gross!

(by the way... just so no one thinks I'm a slut... that's as far as I go until we're married, so, I'm not that bad.)

Don't judge, just tell me if it's ever happened to you and/or what the heck??!?

I would sure hope not!!

Finally! A valid excuse for being a "quitter"!!! I hate that stuff and the way it tastes more than ANYTHING on the planet!!! UGHHHH!

Okay, for the record, I've tried EVERYTHING. Having him drink pineapple juice as a dietary staple didnt make it sweet! I dont know WHO made up that lie! LOL!

It's really not a lie. It does work for some people.:thumbdown:

Lol@ this topic, it made me laugh!

Yea, it's pretty nasty.

Ok, I've said it before, but I'll say it again:

God Bless all you wonderful ladies, LOL.

Well I had heard once from a calorie counting gooroo that it counts as 25 calories. I'm not a quitter.... tho... just prefer a snot like substance not running down my thoat!!

But you would think it might sit at the top of the band stiring up PB juices!!! Hum....FOOD FOR THOUGHT!! MUHAHAHA!!

My DH keeps trying to convince me that the Protein content and texture would be band friendly...... Ha!!

File me in the "quitter" section.....

File me in the "quitter" section.....

Me too... and my husband never complains, he'd rather save it for better places anyway.

OMG TOO FUNNY!!! I would imagine all men would think this should be our National Anthem!

My thoughts exactly!!!!

Well....first of all, I am not sure about the comment of letting all the saline leak out of your band, to where you have no restriction. The saline should remain in there indefinitley, until removed with a needle, if it leaks out, you have a faulty band, port or tubing. If you are still unable to eat bread and the other things you list, I believe you still have adequate saline in your band and it is functioning as it should.....not having frequent fills is not indicative of it leaking out. I lost all of my weight with 2 fills done within 2 months of my surgery, never to have another when I reached goal, and it was all still there when removed for surgery (TT).

As for not being able to swallow ejaculate....seems pretty strange, if you are normally able to swallow things of similar texture....possibly an emotional gag reflex? It would not be unusual. We used to tease a friend that she had a disease called "weeniegagaphobia"!!! LOL

Personally I have never found it an issue....but I approach it with a different attitude, and have found it a benefit of my marriage as opposed to a job. To each their own......and NOTHING I do with consent, within the confines of my marriage with the man I love makes me a slut....unless I want it to!

Very good points, Kat!
