So happy I PB'd!

So yesterday was my 2 month bandiversary and last month was quite difficult for me. I started anew at the beginning of this month and am doing much better. I've already lost a few pounds. I got my second fill on the 30th and was hoping it would do something for me because I previously had no restriction at all. Well, last night I went to Boston Market and got a chicken dinner with mac and chesse, sweet potatos and cornbread. I was able to eat about half of it and I felt sick I was so full. I went and stood over the toilet for a minute because I got this rush of saliva and couldn't stop spitting and then the food just came back up. I didn't even try, I gagged twice which I was worried might make the band slip, but I'm so happy I had that reaction. It means I finally have some retriction. It was like I had taken one bite too many and my body said "No."

I also learned that I need to eat more solid foods. I hadn't realized it until I ate chicken and bread, but I've been eating lots of soft foods. Like stage 2/3 kind of foods. Fish, puddings, Jello, Beans, soft vegtables, potatoes etc... and the food goes down too easily. I ate chicken and got full fast. Anyway, here's to a much better month and hopefully watching the scale go down!

I know exactly what you mean. I had my first fill on Friday and up to that point, I didn't feel like I had any restriction (well not since I had been able to eat regular foods) but on Sat. night I ate one too many bites and my body told me no way! I never did have anything come up but my mouth was so full of saliva like I was going to get sick that I just kept spitting and spitting. In addition to that it hurt! So I was so glad too that I finally knew what it felt like and to know that I really had some restriction!
