Got Schooled By My Band!

[Shackwacky 72]

I am on week two, pureed foods. Last night I came home from a work function....home too late, hungry, tired, not paying attention. Pulled the cauliflower puree out of the fridge and warmed it up, grabbed any old spoon and quickly shovelled in three bites.

Oops. Warning number one was my eyes watering. Then hiccup hiccup hiccup hiccup hiccup hiccup....then the feeling that I was going to vomit. Made it to the bathroom, and up come the cauli.

Lesson learned? Or does it take more reminders.

I dont do it often...but you may slip up again... but I will tell you it becomes more of a habit the longer you do it...

It will happen, I get reminded every now and then too!!

yep its funny how soon we forget then the band lets us know. While you meal is heating up I have a drink, usually Snapple which I finish much later it helps get over that old habit of shoving it in....

Oh yeah i get reminded every now and then more if i get to the point where I'm hungry. I find what helps me is to graise between meals, for you that wont help yet cuz of the stage your at but later down the road. i usually do a handful of nuts or raisins, or apple slices without the peel with a little Peanut Butter. This helps me so I dont scarf down my meals.

Aren't you supposed to wait 30 min after drinking to eat?

I hear ya girl! I get that slap occasionally to.

I have learned to SLOW way down. It is a hard lesson. The biggest thing is to not let yourself get too hungry if you can help it.

I don't know if it will help you but I started adding comments to my tracker . First of all the time I eat and how long I feel satisfied and then I also add when I have those episodes as well where I am no paying attention or have problems or even if I eat something that does really well. Best of luck to you.

pureed cauliflower would make me vomit even without the band. I'm just sayin.
