KC - WOOHOO!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!! So I had a bit of episode last week: After Hawaii I decided that I needed to lose the 3lbs before going to have my much needed fill...now do I really need a fill. On Friday I went to Costco and had a sample of Macadanian encrusted Mahi mahi and when I put it in my mouth it was like 1000 degrees...I did the worst thing....it was instinctual - I swallowed it whole. Well that irritated the crap out of the band so much that by Friday night I couldn't swallow my spit. It was horrible. I went to the ER and my dr. took it all out. I am on my own till next Monday....I am going to do everything to not gain a pound!!! So be warned about the damn Costco snacks! Sunday & Monday - way too much to write...amazing how much you can eat when band is empty!! Too much candy!!! Today: B - Coffee S - 1/2 slice toast L - 1/2 slice of bread w/PB and 1/2 banana S - Trader Joes granola bar 150 calories D - some of the mahi mahi (really really good), salad Thanks for reading! Exercise - spin class

Also posted in general ?.. Hi - Was banded in October - all has been okay. Today at costco I sampled Macadaian encrusted mahi mahi...and it was HOT. I w/out thinking swallowed the whole thing. I felt a bit stuck but nothing that time didn't help. About an hour later I ate a small Peanut Butter cup...slimed it up. An hour later a Protein shake - couldn't finish it. Two hours later, I was hungry and ate a Fiber One bar...it was feeling VERY uncomfortable about 20 minutes after eating it. I have been sliming now for a couple of hours...did I just irritate it? Someone please tell me what is going on. I am freaking out!!! TIA
