#%@#@!$ %:cursing:...... Today I had a long awaited lunch date with a friend of that I haven't seen since march. She was aware of my surgery and I was anxious to show her my 50 lb weight loss. She was very happy to see my weight loss and we were seated and ordered our lunch. Everything was going fine UNTIL I took my first bite. I has spent a decent amount of time thinking over the menu but opted for the roast beef manhattan which is one of the best things you can order at an Amish restaurant. I don't know what I was thinking because immediately after the first bite, I knew it was stuck. I sat and waited figuring it would work it's way down like most things stuck. NOT!! :eek: I told her I was having a little discomfort and was explaining to her what goes on with food being stuck. Thank heavens she has a strong stomach and nothing bothers her. I excused myself to the ladies room but to no avail. It wasn't ready to do it's thing. I then told her I needed to leave the restaurant and go to my car. At this point the poor girl was shoving her food in her mouth as fast as she could. I can't say as I blame her...it was tasty. I then headed to my car and just in time. :crying: Fortunately I had a towel in my car (something I will make sure I always have). After repeated bouts of sliming, I headed home. What a drive home it was.....again, that towel was great to have. I would say the whole episode lasted about an hour but it was awful. I have learned my lesson and will not try pot roast type meats again.:thumbdown: Too stringy and hard to go down. Oh, I did call her to apologize and we have set another lunch date for next week.

HAHA that is funny. Mine knows by the look on my face not to follow me into the bathroom. He can also tell when i try to burp and there is no burp but another like gargling sound and I think by how fast I move for the bathroom is a clue too.

Hey weightisover!!! Thanks for the "ah ha" moment. I'm in Corpus Christi and Ike is headed this way. I know the barometer is fluctuating but it never occured to me that it could affect my band. I had yogurt for breakfast this morning, and I felt tight. I've never had that happen before. It never occured to me that it could be the BAD weather coming. thanks for bringing that up!
