ok so i had my surgery almost 3 months ago and happy to say that i am down 35 lbs!!!! i have been sooo motivated and eating all the right things and, although there is always temptation, i have told myself time and time angain that this is my new life, and a new way of looking at food....

 

on that note, i had my first epispde of GETTING STUCK.....WOW thought i was having a heart attack...ate a crab ragoon and 10 mins later had massive "chest pain" (as i like to call it) and really felt like i was gonna die :thumbup: I have NEVER felt that way b4 ...even while in labor AND the delivery of 3 kiddies over 9 lbs (not all at the same time...) WORST pain of my life...thank god it was over in 40 mins....

 

well, last nite i had TERRIBLE pains which felt like post-op gas/swelling we all know too much about....after about 8 hours of dealing with this, I realized it was gas pains and that I had been drinking from a straw for the last few days...(I'm in loooove with unsweetened ice tea from WaWa or Dunkin donuts) Then I remembered NO STRAWS.

 

WOW.,....never thought a straw could do soooo much damage.

 

moral of the story....STAY AWAY FROM STRAWS and REALIZE EVERY OUNCE OF FOOD THAT GOES INTO YOUR BODY......lesson learned:thumbup:

Sooo true.. 3 weeks post-op and I picked that up last week when my gas *suddenly* came back.. But I refuse to not use a straw in public, I'm just strange like that.

Wow, really? I had no idea! My friend has lap band surgery in April and I'm pretty sure he uses one when we all go out to eat but I could be wrong. I'll have to remember this for when my time comes!
