This morning I woke up hungry. I tried to keep it at bay with some tea, but the hunger persisted so I had two bites of tuna/apple/cranberry salad (I know, disgusting - I would never have eaten this in the am pre-band) and a slice of turkey. The tuna got stuck. Just for maybe two or three minutes, didn't come back up, just sat there and hurt and then went through. I was still hungry, so had some more tuna and turkey to finish my breakfast.
Last night I do believe I could have eaten an entire pizza. Don't get me wrong, I didn't. And I haven't tried pizza since my last fill. But I had a decent-sized dinner (leftover beef bourguignon, about 2/3 cup, 1/4 c of brown rice and two mini peppermint patties). And I could have eaten more if I really wanted to.
It's amazing to me how different restriction can be from one point in the day to the next. I'm also finding that my restriction has eased a bit since my fill. I think it's because last week I still had the sinus infection with all the attendant yuckiness that comes with it. That probably made the band tighter. I'm making an appointment for a fill in a couple of weeks when I get back from Utah. Jen warned me to stay away from meat on the long flight and the rest of the flying day so I don't get stuck. I will be taking her advice for sure.
Finally, my period is MIA. (No, I'm NOT pregnant. Took a test to make sure on Saturday.) I expected it last week. Hmmmm.
I had a hungry day yesterday too. Honestly, it's so weird but I feel like this last fill did nothing and I need a bit of a bigger one the next time I go in. Back to the basics it is for me, I'm about 3/4 of my way through my 1.5 liter of water for this morning. Goal is to have at least two before I leave for the day!
ReplyDeleteI was just saying on Vanessa's blog how wonky my period was just before and after LB surgery... Your body is messing with you, I tell ya!!!
ReplyDeleteRestriction is also wierd.. one day yes, the next day, notsomuch!! Hang in there!! You are leaving this week for Utah, right?? So jealous!
1/4 C Brown sugar? Like just the sugar? I'm not laughing (hee-hee) because I've eaten some mighty weird things when I get hungry. Just curious actually. :-)
ReplyDeleteOMG, BG! I meant to type "brown rice." The beef bourguignon was served over brown rice. Ha! I guess we can tell where my head is right now... (I'm going to fix it now.)
ReplyDeleteYeah the whole restriction thing can be darn confusing - one day we have it.. next we dont. Keep going chicklett - you are doing SO WELL!
ReplyDeleteHey Kristin,
ReplyDeleteThe Oscars were on here about lunch time (the red carpet and an edited version...) but I think it was a few hours earlier say 9am if we are looking at real time.
Later that night ayt 9.30pm they put the whole thing on again and it went until midnight. I stuck through the whole thing. A really good one this year too, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin were great hosts! Some of the best we've had!! Did you watch it too?
