So my band taught me my first lesson today. I have been eating pureed/chopped foods now for a week. I was running late for work, so I thought I will just grap a banana and have that for lunch. I was thinking it isn't the protein I need, but it will tide me over.

 

So lunch came around. Wasn't terribly hungry, but thought I better eat my banana. Well I did. All of it. What the hell was I thinking. About 3/4 threw it, I felt a little pain in my stomach. Well I have so many unexplained pains and growns and gurgles I don't know what is what. Well I should have listened to this one. My band WAS NOT HAPPY with that banana. I continued to finish it. I thought, well this is all I am eating for lunch, so come on, give me a break. I am going to eat all the damn banana. It weighed less than 6 1/2 oz with skin!

 

15 minutes later, I am in real pain. Burping pretty nastily (nothing coming up thank God). although that might have given me some relief. I couldn't even sit in my chair. I had to go walk around.

 

Bottom line, 10 hours later, my stomach is still punishing me, but getting through it. I learned my lesson. Listen to my body. The problem is, when you don't know what your body is saying, it is hard to listen :angry:

 

I don't think I will be having a banana for awhile and I will slow down and pack a lunch.:confused:

Geez - I wouldn't have thought a banana could make such a problem. By the time it's kind of chewed, it's like puree! Thanks for letting us know that we really do have to be careful and take our time with just about EVERYTHING!
