First PB and Potato Chips...

Well...I had my first PB and it was just as awful as everyone has described it to be... :think However, I am glad that I had that knowledge so I was prepared for what it would be like...

 

It all happened after I came home from work yesterday and I was just starving. My plan was to have a snack of hummus and pita chips, and I am always so careful, but I think that my hunger got the best of me and I must have been eating too fast, and too big of bites.

 

I felt the food get stuck in my lower esophogus, it felt like my esophogus was "filled" and I knew that the food was going to come up, but it was stuck and that is what was so terrible. My eyes starting tearing, I felt like I could hardly breath (even though I really could out of my nose) and I panicked. I was all alone and I calmed myself down. In just a few minutes the food came up and all was well. So...chew chew chew, slowly slowly slowly....

 

 

 

Along with feeling bad for not being careful enough and having my first PB, I am having an issue with potato chips....:rolleyes:

Um...yeah...my boyfriend loves potato chips, Dorritos, Sour Cream and Onion, Cheese and Sour Cream, etc, etc etc....well, and I really like them too and for sooo long they have been in the house and I have not touched them...They have been "calling" me from the kitchen cabinet and I ate and ate and ate....they went down so well and tasted sooo good and I felt sooooo terrible... :cry

 

I cannot even bring myself to tell my boyfriend about it, not that I need to, but I usually confide in him and I am too ashamed too. I suppose that I can ask Joe to take them out of the house and he would with no problem...but why should that be necessary??? I should just be able to not give in.

Well, this has happenend two days in a row now and after it happens I feel so full on the few handfuls of chips that I have that I cannot fit anything else. Therefore, I dont eat the nutritional food that I had planned on eating....it is so embarassing...:paranoid

I had this surgery, have gone through so much...and now I am doing this...I really cant believe it...:angry

I am so disapointed in myself:(

hi ... sorry you had to have a PB :P

about the potato chips - dont beat yourself up. you realized what you did and you can use that as a learning tool..

a couple weeks after being banded, i had THREE huge donuts. i forgave myself and actually havent had a donut since (cause i know if i have one, i will have 3 or more).

those Pringles & Doritos 100 calorie packs are great. they taste exactly the same just small portions. just something to think about if you HAVE to have some.

good luck

Thank you for the support, I really need it today... I hope I do use it as a learning tool...I really cant have just "one." Plus, I dont even need that one! Thank you for sharing your donut story, I really appreciate it! That is a really good idea about the calorie packs, thank you!
