11 weeks post op
The longer time is passes since the surgery, the less stuff there is to blog about.
This Friday it will be 11 weeks since I had the lap band.
I‘m still very happy about the lap band. It has changed my life in so many ways.
Yesterday and today I've had blocking issues. The food gets stuck, even though I chew and chew and chew. Today at work we had chicken breast for lunch but it was dry and I could feel that I was a bit tight. I just stopped eating the chicken I just ate the veggies and potato. I don't want anyone to know I have the lap band so I have to be careful not to get BP at work.
I can have a bite of chocolate or a small slice of a cake without wanting to have more. I feel that for the first time in
about 17 years or more, I can eat like a normal person. I eat the same portions as my „skinny friend“, no wonder she‘s „skinny“
I use the „“ because to me she‘s skinny but she‘s a normal looking girl.
I also love that when there are deserts or a cake, I am at piece with just one slice, small slice.
Before the lap band, I was always hoping that people wouldn‘t take big slices so that I could have 2 or 3 or even 4.
DON‘T EAT MY CAKE! I was always worried that I wouldn‘t have enough.
Today I find my self sharing! I had some people over for dinner and I had a dessert. I actually gave them the rest to take home.
OMG that would NEVER have happened before. I would have eaten the rest alone!
Ok let‘s talk about summers. This season is difficult. People have more time to prepare stuff to eat. Always baking and having people
over for lunch or dinner. And ice cream omg!! seriously who can say no to ice cream.
I‘m not behaving well in this area. But I‘m still loosing weight and my doctor is happy about my process.
But then again, I don‘t eat like I‘m starving. I just have a taste. I bought two sorbet ice creams in May. Small boxes and they are still in
my freezer, I haven‘t had half of it. Before surgery I would probably have bought 4 or 5 more boxes or more..
My biggest problem still is that I‘m eating too fast!! And oh my the PB is terrible! I‘m finding out more and more what I can‘t eat and
I avoid that food. Because PB is not worth it.
I‘ve also found out that if I get too hungry, I eat faster and I get PB. I have to remind my self always to eat sloooooooow!
That‘s it for now J
