Missed my band....or damm that sleeve!

[burnsun 27]

Ok my band has been missed several time....the 40pounds I gained after it was gone in 6 months...... course nursing and I always gain weight after the birth!

But in getting ready for Adrian and ELiza's big birthday tea party...... I can eat cookie dough and icing way too easily (ironically that never fit though my band nor did I want to eat it!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i was)

The fudge cut our flowers were not an issue....fit down easy... but I only wanted one..... but the Cookies and the petite four (which eating cake was always a waste of time before with my band)

SEND ME SOME GOOD THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!! At least the cut out cookie flower pops were absolutely adorable!:biggrin0:

I was shocked the first time I realized that my sleeve wouldn't restrict popcorn. I have felt restriction with Cookies, but that was early out. I think the trick is to eat them with other things that will fill up your sleeve.

I know...... and the band did n't do pop corn either! (at least for me)

I have found there isn't anything I can't eat with my sleeve. With the band, nothing would go down. I prefer being able to eat and exercising a bit of control than not being able to eat at all. Although, we all have those moments when we do lose control. But, I think that is okay too, because it will never be like it used to because we can only eat so much with our sleeves.

I do notice that eating sweets makes me feel sick. It's easier to stay away when I know the feeling that's going to come afterwards. I don't know if that goes away in time.

I want to be normal as possible. Normal people sometime eat in the way that they shouldn't. The difference is, they get right back on track and their bodies don't fight to keep them at a really high weight.

So, it's not like I want to be able to eat an entire small bag of Kettle Korn at the movies every day or even every week. But I'm glad I can do it once or twice a year.

Now I am craving kettle corn. :drool5:

I don't like Kettle corn as much as regular popcorn. I am glad the sleeve does not let me eat as much popcorn at the movies as my band did.
