OMG...Dilated Pouch

Last week I went to my lap band doctor to have my band checked out because I hadn't been able to keep anything down. I thought or felt like something was wrong. My doctor determined that I was too tight and consequently my pouch had dilated. He removed 1.5 cc's and I am scheduled for a check up after six weeks. If all is well, then I will be able to get a fill. Although I was happy that my band hadn't slipped and I didn't have to have another surgery, it has been tough being able to eat so much. For the past week, I have been devouring any and every kind of food imaginable.

 

Since then, I have gained 10 lbs. Yes, I went to the doctor last Wednesday and by Tuesday morning, I had gained 10 lbs. The scale read 171 lbs. and I had been around 160 for the past year.

 

I am sick...what sane person allows food to kill them? Who can gain 10 lbs in a week with a lap band? I can and I have...

 

Tuesday morning, I was determined to put an end to this madness. I woke up and went for a walk before preparing for work. At work, I drank water. I increased my protein and decreased my junk food intake.

 

I know that I need a lifestyle change and it begins with my commitment to myself.
