Why Must I Learn The Hard Way? Seriously....

By Domika03

Follow up to my first fill yesterday....

 

As I mentioned in yesterday's blog, apparently my band is 14cc, a large one. It even sounds embarrassing, geez.

 

Oh my gosh, so last night, I was supposed to eat only soft foods...which I mostly did. Key word people: MOSTLY! I made myself a nice flounder with herbs and a little cottage cheese on the side. Good, right? Well, I made chicken parm for the family & wanted to taste a tiny piece. BIG MISTAKE!!! I took a tiny frigin' piece, like not even 1/2 of your pinky size,thought I had chewed it up well, and the damn thing was just STUCK. Pardon my french, but holy ****, that was soo not pleasant. I didn't feel nauseous or get sick, but the middle of my breast bone hurt for a good 30-45 minutes, maybe more. I walked a little around the house & just used the heating pad. Yes, eventually it passed, but I was soooo NOT happy.

 

Needs to say, I was afraid to eat anything today. I was trying to feel it out & figure out if & when I was full. Not sure I like this learning curve!

    I once ate too fast, same feeling. Had to walk around the house many times. Never again will I eat fast. The experts know their business. I go for a follow up next week. Maybe a fill, don't know and maybe stage 5 of the food plan. That would be nice. I miss salad and pasta.

    Good luck.

    Kinda crazy, isn't it? Now I'm watching every single thing that goes into my mouth. I'm afraid to try anything that's not soft food. But, I'm guessing that at some point I will get there.

    Good luck to you too. :-)
