So I found out this weekend that cake and I no longer get along. We were having a nice family celebration on Sat for my birthday which is this Tuesday.

Hubby bought me a bakery cake nice canola filling. Normally I would love this, and I have had cake before since being banded, but I really wanted ice cream cake this year. The hubby thought that was kiddy cake and wouldn't my guest like a real bakery cake better, but you know my whole week prior had been packed full of stress and emotional roller coaster ride my band is feeling mighty tight.

When I tense up under stress my band tends to tighten up along with the rest of me. So I had a couple of bites of what was a really amazing cake and guess what...yup it got stuck. I didn't want to get "sick" in front of everyone so I suffered with the pressure as it kept trying to pass by. I knew the only way that cake was going was back up and out in the most obnoxious way possible. UGH what a pain literally!!

Thank goodness soon after the cake everyone departed and I made a beeline for the ladies room to evacuate the cake. I think that was enough cake for me for this year! If we have anything on Tuesday night it better be ice cream, cause I am NOT going through that adventure again. Who cares what others think or like I am a kid at heart anyway and it's MY birthday :)!!!

I was thinking of having them take out a tiny bit of Fluid, but I think most of the time I am OK and when I am not tense and stressed out I'm feeling pretty good about my restriction....

What's your thoughts?

"I love cake" one of my fav 70's show episodes.

I've never been stuck on cake and I'm seldom around the stuff. For me, it's still dry meats and real sticky sushi.

I have gotten stuck once on cake. It really took me by surprise. I try not to eat it, but if I do, I'm careful.

How about one gorgeous truffle instead, with a sparkler in it......you are very sparkly! Happy, happy birthday tomorrow. I hope you get the gift of some serious downtime and relaxation. You deserve it!

Awe, Thank you Bandista! I like the truffle idea!! I'm not into having anymore cake that is for sure!!

We had planned to "escape" for the weekend after everyone left on Saturday but as some left more straggled in after so we had to cancel our get away plan. Maybe this coming weekend we can get away and hide just for a day or two :)

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
