10 weeks, 14

[Miss Meg 199]

I can't believe that today marks 10 weeks since my Lap-Band Surgery. The time has just flown by and I am feeling better than ever.

This week sees another .5kg loss for me bringing my total weight loss so far to 14.5kg. Again it is another fairly small one but I am okay with it... I have clocked up another year on the calendar of life this week as well (42!!) and although I haven't over-eaten, I haven't counted calories either. I have one more celebration (and my Mum's birthday as well) this weekend and I don't intend to count those calories either. After all, that's what life is all about - we still need to enjoy these times.

I also had my first 'stuck' episode last night as well - on chicken - which I had been warned about. It was quite chewy chicken and I know that I didn't chew it properly either. Was a little bit (a lot bit) uncomfortable but I was able to 'remove' it fairly quickly and painlessly and I was able to enjoy the rest of my meal. It is one of those things that was always going to happen at some point but boy did it make me sit up and think and take more notice of the way I eat. I would really like to avoid this happening to me again.

Anyway, life's good and I'm feeling great and I look forward to checking in again next week xx

You're doing great ! Congrats. Those stuck episodes are rough, but mine are fewer and farther between these days. Live and learn, right? Keep up the good work!

Congrats! That's awesome. I know what you mean about taking another look at who you eat. I have had only 2 stuck episodes. The first wasn't so bad, just very uncomfortable and hard to breath for a minute. the second one, just a few days ago, was so painful! So not fun, but in a weird way I am grateful for it, too. It is a reminder that I really do have this tool inside my body now, and it really is working. But I definitely want to take it to heart and not do that again if I can help it!!!
