I had my first big FUCK with the band today.
See, it started at breakfast. I tried to eat an apple. I warmed it up in the microwave (I like warm apples, it is nummy!) and I tried to eat it. It was harder than the apples I’ve had around, and even though I chewed, either the skin (which if I try apples again, I will cut off) or the apple itself didn’t sit well with me, and it was uncomfortable. But after some vigorous walking and Wii bowling, it passed.
A few hours later, I was still hungry, since I had only eaten and gotten down a few bites of apple. So, I figured I’d have something easy, that I’d been eating all week – Grandma’s leftover meatloaf. Its nice and moist and soft. It went down ok, but it sort of hurt sitting there. But I took a nice long walk, and felt better pretty quickly.
Then came my cousin’s birthday party. I had eaten a few chips with salsa, which I knew were ok, as long as I eat in moderation. Then, my aunt brought over a new thing she cooked – bits of chicken wrapped in bacon. I *knew* it was bad, but tried one anyway. I though I had safely nibbled, but somehow, everything got stuck something awful. I was in so much pain, and felt like I wanted to throw up, but couldn’t. I had seen someone on a lap-band forum mention her doctor suggesting a little soda or other carbonated beverage to help open things up, but that didn’t work either. Just came back up.
I felt so so bad, and I was on the damn floor curled up over the trash, heaving and such. Eventually it started to subside, and I walked around the house, bouncing a little. I know it sounds silly, but somtimes the bouncing helps.
Any way, eventually things subsided, and I was finally able to eat some of the spinach artichoke dip in thing flaky dough my mother made, and then I had a bit of ice cream cake (What!? It goes down easy! And its nice to have a little treat now an then.)
Anyway, I’m feeling much better, but not totally happy. I did not like that.
Other wise, exercising has been going well, the weight is coming off nicely (227.8, woot!) and I’m feeling wonderful. In fact, I felt my ribs today!
