Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you know I am still around!! I've been very busy lately with the girls & a trip to the beach, etc. I have been trying to stay up on your blogs; sorry I haven't commented much.
On the band front:
Well, I DEFINITELY have restriction. How do I know? Well....I just PB'd my few bites of a healthy choice meal in my office trash can! EWWWW!!!! I had my door shut, so I don't think anyone noticed. But, OMG the pain I had. I litterly took 3 bites of a chicken/cheese/rice mixture & was in severe pain. I had to stand & walk for a bit to get some relief. Then up it came! I still feel a bit stuck & gurgly. This stuck shit has happened a few times in the last few weeks. I am never sure what will stay down & what won't anymore. DH tells me to chew the hell out of my food. Well, duh! I do, but sometimes it just doesn't matter. I can tell you what food is out for me as of now:
Bread (couldn't get through even half of a bologna sandwich yesterday)
Hamburgers (tried one at the pool on Monday - had to stop after a few bites)
Soft Pretzels - Again, had a few bites at the pool - No Go :(
Cooked chicken - like in my frozen meal today.
Baked Salmon - had a bad PB on this - not sure why - it was moist.
Steak - buh bye
I wanted to feel this, I hoped & prayed for it. So I will remain positive & keep trying to work with my band.
Take care bloggies!
Slow and Steady wins the race

I'm sorry you've been PB'ing, but I hope that this means restriction is yours! :)
ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for, right!?! Congrats, I think!
ReplyDeleteIt happened to me after my last fill...but definitely subsided and its much better.
ReplyDeleteI think once you get used to it, you'll be more cautious. You may be able to some those again eventually.
ReplyDeleteChew, chew, chew...do I sound like your DH? I feel your pain though...I have found that I do much better chewing, slowly when i am home. I get distracted when i am out with friends and thats when I usually get in trouble.
ReplyDeleteSorry you're having trouble...I can't offer advice because I haven't been where you are yet. I just had my 2nd fill and finally have some restriction but not to the point of getting stuck. Here's hoping that was just a quick phase that is now done.
ReplyDeleteI missed you!
ReplyDeleteme and the toilet bowl are best friends at the moment; I'm like you in never knowing what will or won't stay down, and the odd thing is that one day a certain food is fine (pasta) and another day it gets stuck. Sure is a learning curve!
