... Even if I don't have anything super interesting to say. Sorry about that.
My band is still fairly tight, but I'm able to eat solids and trying to do the protein thing. Got on the scale this morning and it said 211 point something (can't remember what because of the shock of 211). I hopped off and back on again and I miraculously lost six pounds in 45 seconds. The scale was consistent in the 205 range as I jumped on and off a few times. But then I was paranoid so I went to our backup scale which agreed with the 205 reading. Whew.
I had lunch the other day with a friend whose mother-in-law had lapband surgery a few years ago. "Do you throw up at every meal?" she asked. WHAAA? NO. WAY. I told her I get sick maybe once every three or four weeks, and it's almost always a traumatic and miserable experience. She said her mother-in-law had lost a lot of weight but gets sick at every meal. Even if she just gets sick every day rather than every meal, can you imagine the toll that takes on your body over a period of years? Egad. My esophagus is sore just thinking about it.
Do any of you get sick every day? I do think I keep my band on the looser side because I'm such a wuss about the getting sick part, and I'm sure that has slowed down my weight loss (well, that plus the lack of exercise. and the chocolate.). But I cannot imagine getting sick every day. I feel awful for her.
