Yes. Annoyed while simultaneously being happy. Oxymoron? Maybe. But its very much how I'm feeling right now. Let me start off by saying that I am 100% sure I want nothing to do with another fill. I think my band is doing its job as much as it possibly can, and if I did get another fill, I think it would be too much. I say this because I had my first episode with food getting stuck. I thought I knew what it as like before. And I'd think its safe to say that there are different multitudes to food getting stuck in the band... but if there were a scale- 1 being a little stuck, and 10 being SO stuck its not going down, I had a level 10 stuckage today. And I vomited. Something I haven't done in YEARS! The whole thing was just terrible. But, quite frankly, I deserved it. This week alone, I've had a lot of issues with not paying attention to my eating. I haven't been chewing my food like I should, and I have been eating way to fast. We're talkin' level 8 and 9 stuckage here. Really naughty. So I'm kind of glad I got this level 10 out out of the way. I think it was just the right punishment to get me back on track with slow eating and much chewing. So this is why I've been annoyed. Really annoyed that I hadn't learned from the pain all week.
Happy. HAPPY!!! Really happy, because I have lost 3 pant sizes since beginning this whole journey! My husband and I were bored today, and made a trip to the BX or "mall", and I decided to try on some jeans. The ones I wear now, I can literally grab a hand full of denim because they are so big. So when I tried on the first pair I picked out, and they fit... I of course had to leave with them! Yay for new jeans! Happy happy happy! I love non-scale vix!
Yay for new jeans! I had level 10 stuckage last...and the stuckaged suckaged very much! Mine was from one little piece of ham...didn't chew it well enough. Lesson learned.
ReplyDeleteAwesome on the new jeans! Wow.
ReplyDeleteYeah being stuck is no fun, but it's good the band is doing its job and reminding to be careful with what you eat and slow down. Congrats on the new jeans!
ReplyDeleteLevel 10 stuckage is NO BUENO!! Congrats on the new jean size, Whoo hoo! way to go.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new jeans and sorry about being stuck, at least you know what to do to help the situation. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOuch, level 10 sounds heinous! Yay on the jeans though!
ReplyDeleteHmmm ... this sounds so familiar. I too am eating too fast and not chewing enough. I haven't had the stuck issue but still ... oh, and LOVE the jean piece of the post ! You have really done well with the band - keep it up for 2012 !
ReplyDeleteStuck episode is never fun, if you are careful it should be your last :p and congrats on the new jeans! That is always fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year :o)
Thank you so much ladies, for all the congrats on my new jeans!! It's also helpful (in a weird way) that I am not the only one going through this crazy stuckage! Ughh! YUCK!
