lapband update 083109

Wow, much better! I had 1 cc taken out today and I already feel much better. I actually ate 1/2 bagel for the first time (without problems), in a long time! And I didn't want to keep eating!

Had a small helping of chicken supper and was also able to eat that without that terrible stuck feeling!

Back to the Vikings/Houston game. GO VIKINGS!

take care,

Lapband update 083009

Made a dr. apt on Friday to have some fill taken out. I'm excited I can get in tomorrow! I should have gone in a long time ago, but....It's just one of those things.

I'm looking forward to being able to eat healthy foods and i'm not scared with thoughts that i'll over eat. That was a feeling I battled for a long time!

Take Care

Lapband update 082709

I hate this.......Stuck again, dang it. I have had a couple bad nights. Part of the problem is because It's very difficult to sit down and eat a full meal, we lapbanders tend to eat a little, do something, eat a little more, do something.. so what happens with me is I end up eating before bed and for some reason the last couple nights my food got stuck, it wasn't a stuck feeling like alot of times where I need to go and push it all back out into the toilet. (it's not throwing up in my eyes because your food hasn't gotten to your stomach, it's sitting in your esophagus)

I went to sleep and did NOT get good sleep. There are different "stuck" feelings too and it's too hard to explain the difference. I didn't feel I could make it come back up, plus I was too tired!

It hurts too, btw. Oh, I should tell you what I ate, since I figured it wouldn't be a problem. Night before last it was a small amount of chicken along with some broccoli, kinda mushy so I figured I would have no problem. Wrong. last night I ate corn and chewed alot, that ended up being a problem too.

Tonight, my dear hubby made me stir fry and so I sat here doing some computer work and ate very slow.......nope, I had to let it come back up! So then what do I do? Eat food I know won't get stuck, ice cream!

Well, I've been wondering if I should go in and have an adjustment. I'm sure you're asking why WOULDN'T I do that. answer: Fear that I'll over eat! That's why......but I think I'm going to try, I'm just not able to eat healthy. We always joke about being able to eat candy, chips, all the good food, but can't digest all the healthy food.

BTW, I did start exercising again, it feels so great.

I'm sitting here still stuck and it's frustrating. Definitely going to call the doctor tomorrow!

Enjoy your week end!

Time Management

Hello, you want to know how many times I've told myself to blog and forget to. Too many!

I started this blog to keep you posted on my Lapband status and i've failed to do that. I could beat myself up over that, along with the fact that I haven't worked out since the Fargo 5K back in May. Along with the struggle of eating healthy. Guess what? rather than sit and feel like crap about it, I'm gonna put a stop to it! Cuz I'm tired of being tired all the time. Sure, I'm tired anyway because of my work hours, but I can not remember being as tired as I have been the last month. And it SUCKS! I end up telling myself i'm too tired to work out so I take a nap.

Sigh, I do not like this feeling of having to start over again. I will do it!

Time Management, I am going to google it now!

gotta run, stay cool!
