Well I had my FIRST painful experience tonight .... icon_cry.gif I was going to do curried chicken for dinner but decided to just cook up the chicken and cut up salad stuff and along with hommus and aoli spred flat bread and we had wraps ......YUM !!! everyone LOVED then my sister and my son came for dinner along with daughter and hubby ...

I FORGOT that I should chew chew chew little mouthfuls .....like a RABBIT icon_e_confused.gif I was so hungry and looking forward to my first wrap since banding I must have swallowed an not so chewd up mouthful.. icon_eek.gif .At first I just sat quitely just waiting for the pain and the lump to go down...no such lucj took myself to the Loo and although I did not throw up I felt like I would feel better if I did ..I burped regurgitated a little and spat out , waited with sweat popping out on my face like I was in labor icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif anyway I went and waited a bit and the pain went I continued VERY SLOWLY and CHEWED CHEWED CHEWED EVERY LITTLE mouthful and finished the wrap no problems ...I think it may have been a bit of Tomato skin or a bit of unchewed flat bread that clogged me for a bit but from NOW ON I am NOT going to forget to eat like a rabbit ...no matter how hungry I am...... LESSON LEARNED................. icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hi again,

Just read your post about your Tuesday and planning on making the curry for dinner. Sure sounded good to me!

Sorry you had that "stuck" experience. Unfortunately, I have been there also!:w00t:

I read, on this forum, chewing up Papaya Enzyme whenever you have a "stuck&slimmy" episode. I found some at the local Walgreens Drug Store and bought 2 bottles:one for home and one in my purse.

Sometimes I get a stuck feeling with the oddest things. Lately it has been prune juice....I guess I drink it too fast. Anyway, yesterday morning I commented to my DH that I couldn't figure out how I could get "stuck" on prune juice.....he replied "it's the pits"!!:) Then started laughing!!!! Oh well, I have always loved his sense of humor and soon was laughing myself!!!

Sorry you had to go through that experience, but I imagine we all do it at some time or another...just hope your episodes are really spaced out!

Thanks Diana, I hope not to have one again or at least not too often , it was something I definatley will not be looking forward to again..:w00t:..BUT at least I now know I have a band before that I had had no problems even after the operation , I was wondering if the actually put it in ..:)..

Its a Sunny Sunday here too hot a day for Autumn , I am relaxing with hubby and the birds ...We are going to place another possum or bird box in one of our trees later today ...

I love watching the birds by day and I feed the scraps from my birds to the possums by night ....

Hope your enjoying your weekend ...

Marion..

Our Possums are cuter loking than the ones I have seen from the U.S.A...:unsure:

Here is a picture of a Mom with her baby...

Majj - Your possums are much, much cutier than in USA. Great pictures.

We started this journey about the same time. You are braver than me, I have not tried a wrap. Fear still dictates much of what I try, but I know I need to branch out to learn to make friends with my band.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
