Real Food Taste Soooo Good.... Maybe Too Good

So, last week I went to my first Lapband support group meeting. It was very interesting. I asked two questions... 1. How do you know when you are blocked... Answer: You'll know, you get this feeling like you are having a heart attack. 2. How do you know when you are full. Answer: You will know.

So, a couple days later, I was able to start eating real food again. I don't have any restriction so volume is pretty much not an issue. Because I can eat way too much, I have to be careful not to gain my weight back. I have had the blocked sensation several time... so now I know what it feels like. It is very painful and not pleasant at all. I get it if I eat too fast, don't chew enough or eat white bread. We had pancakes over the weekend.... not good. I have been able to avoid the blocked problem now for several days... YEAH!

My weight loss has slowed down because I am eating food again, but happy to say I lost 1 pound this week. So, my total weight loss is 19 pounds, 10 pre-op and 9 post-op. I am starting to have difficulties with my clothes fitting properly. low cut tops, are now way too low, and my jeans keep falling down. What a great problem to have!!

I am looking forward to next week when I get my first fill.
