New Year....New Outlook on Life

Well it has been too long since I have updated this journey through "Bandland" so here goes.....

I have good days and bad days. Thank goodness I have more good than bad. I used to wonder what the process would be like for me when it came to finding out what I would be able to eat and what would be "off-limits"....

When they say that you will just have to try things and find out...they weren't exaggerating. You will literally not know what is going to happen(or not)

until it goes in your mouth...and either further or not.

I realize this is Not a pleasant subject but I promise never to sugar coat anything. It may seem that things are ok and then look-out!!!!

GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!! OR.... things will be just fine. I have discovered that after many attempts to eat bread....It is no longer my friend.

On the other hand when you find out what you can eat without difficulty....you may find yourself eating the same five or six foods all the time because it is easier than getting sick.

I find that I get impatient with myself and have to be reminded that I am JUST 2 months post-op.

All things will work out in time..

I have NOT ONE OUNCE of regret for the decisions I have made so far and with the help and encouragement of all of you out there..I am making improvements every day !!!

PS Next fill is Jan 25:thumbup:

hi I am almost 4 months out and having my 2nd fill on the 21. Boy do i need it.

I have good days and bad just like you. I have not yet ventured out and tried bread. But i have tried out toast, tortillas. I have had only to episodes where the food (rice) went down fine till i had the 4th bite and BAAMM!! what a nasty feeling. Thankfully the 2 times where in my house.

The weight is coming off slowly...and i have to remind myself that "if it took me 10 yesr to gain 100 lbs, i cant expect my body to loose it 1 year"

To be honest i am not sticking to the dieat 100% bad habbits die hard. But im hoping that with each fill i will be getting closet to that "sweet spot".

Good luck in your journey!! this website is great!
