Well , since my last adjustment, where I was ratcheted down to teeny tiny. I can not eat much. I can eat refried beans with onions, I can eat guacamole and chips, a very small amount. I can eat vienna sausages because they are mushy. I can eat fat free chicken salad on a cracker.
I have to drink when I eat anything of substance just to get it down.
I went out after church with my besties to a local hangout and we ordered cheese fries. I tried to eat two tiny little bites and wash it down with water. I felt like I was drowning and had to excuse myself . It was the worst yet. I did not like that. So I will be sticking with the refried beans. I have found that Taco Cabana makes their beans in store, and it comes in a 8 oz cup and they will add onions and cheese.
I have got to start eating more calories because I feel my energy level going way down, especially in the afternoon.
Don't get me wrong I still think this is the best decision I have ever made in regards to my health and weight loss. I think it is still an adjustment. I do not miss food as much as I thought that I would. If I see something that I want, I look at it and I just know " I will NEVER be able to eat that...if I even try it will be painful!"..so I just walk away. It is the restriction that I need!! I could never before look at something and "think" first...it was, See it , Buy it, eat it, then feel guilty about it later...Now I do not have that option. Thank God for my Lapband!
I am down about 33 lbs and several sizes. Yesssss!
In Him

Thanks for the update. Is it scary when you can't get the food down or you feel like you're drowning? Or does knowing that you won't die/choke/drown help to keep you calm?
What about fruits & vegtables? Will you eventually be able to eat them?
I could puree anything in my Magic Bullet blender chopper. I am going to attempt to do some veggies and some other stuff today...I am sure I can do it. Knowing that I COULD drown is definately a factor in what I eat or do not eat now...that was a scary experience...It is good to hear from you! Are you staying away from that fires out there??
I didn't know you felt like you were DROWNING? I thought you just felt sick... girl that is so scary! No more cheese fries for you! We will figure this out... and I LOVE Mexican so you will not hear complaints from me about guac and beans places :)... love you.
I'm Krista's sis-in-law. The only fires up here is "Texas Krista"!!!
Ok this is "SheShe", I'm on Krista's computer & just realized my post is REALLY going to confuse you
just checking in on you-- Hope you are able to keep your nutrition up with the veggies etc-- although-- can you drink the nutrition? anyhow... I'm up for guacomole or beans from taco cabana anytime! LOL
