This past week and half has been, how do it put politely, ok, hectic to extreme. We had a disaster at my mom's house where I live with her and fortunately a builder we knew has offered to buy my mom's house as is with the probs that have happened, disaster to say the least, and we are buying a new home from him that he is building which will be done in 2 months. So in the next 2 months I have to pack up an entire house and move again, did I mention I just did this a year ago when I moved in with her. Hopefully will drop some lbs in the process. Anyway, getting back to when will I learn. This morning the realtor and builder came by and were here during my breakfast time and then some and before I knew it it was past 11 and I was famished. The quick go to thing was a toasted bagel, well I must have taken a too big of bite because I GOT STUCK and I mean boy did I. It was ugly, no PB'ing, I'm talking puking and wretching, I know not good for the band. When will I learn, DONNA SMALL BITES!!! sheesh.

We all slowly learn; had it happen to me with a piece of dry chicken breast I ate 3 days ago !

Donna it's just something that happens when you are distracted.. I know I forget sometimes that I have a band.. wanting to eat like everyone else... but luckily I was reminded by a burp or hiccup so I slowed down.. best of luck on your next move....

(((((hugs))))Donna! I can't give any advice you don't already know. Best wishes on your very busy next 2 months. take care of yourself. Look at this as a new adventure and a better home for, both, you and your mother!

thanks everyone, yes my mom and I are very excited, especially her, we get to pick out colors, flooring, carpet, countertop, the whole deal. I will be one busy girl packing.

Greek yogurt is much more forgiving if you eat too fast. A bagel is a poor choice for a bandster all carbs no protein. And it needs help like butter, cream cheese or jam.
