Last Tuesday I went in to see my surgeon and because I have increased how much I can eat, we decided to add .3 cc to my band. I did talk to him about what I thought was acid reflux which was happening if I ate just before going to bed. On Tuesday, when I got home I decided to groom my poodle puppy and did not eat until 10:30 pm. Normally after an adjustment, you eat soft foods, and what did I do at 10:30 pm? I ate pot roast. I paid for it all night long. Every time, I started to doze off to sleep, I would feel like I was choking on stuff... I then would start coughing and would cough up stuff.... This happened all night! I now have a new rule: Do not eat after 8:30 pm. As long as I follow this rule life is good!
But in the mean time, the scale has moved. As of yesterday morning, I have lost a total of 50 pounds. The equivalent of 50 pounds is:
- A Costco size bag of Russet Potatoes
- 5 -- 10 pound bags of flour
- 200 cubes of butter
- 3 and 1/3 of 5 gallons buckets filled with laundry detergent
- 1.25 bags of wood pellets
Even though my band is a little on the tight side, it feels so good to be loosing this weight. I've decided I like it that way. I read about people who have lost 25 pounds in 6 months and I certainly don't want to be in that position. I figure if I keep in contact with my surgeon and keep the restriction tight that I will get to my goal sooner than later.
Life is good and it feels wonderful not to be lugging around 200 cubes of butter every day!!
