Yikes


I was eating some scrambled eggs this morning, like I do many mornings and all of the sudden I thought I was going to die! Okay, that was a little dramatic, I didn't think I was going to die but the feeling I was getting was not good and I was worried. I must have not chewed a piece well enough because I think I was getting that "stuck" feeling that people talk about. You know when the food you eat is having a hard time passing through the band. I'm not really even sure how to explain how it feels, it's kind of a tight feeling and it's like a pain in your chest. I was sitting down and it seemed to be getting worse and worse so then I thought "I always hear people saying it's better to stand up" so I quickly stood up and after a couple of minutes the pain went away. Holy cow people all I can say is chew chew chew chew chew! I mean chew to the point where it's the consistency it would be if you had just put it through the food processor, no joke. Believe me it's not something you want to experience. Not only did it not feel good but it was kind of scary honestly. On a side note, I have not weighed myself recently, I'm trying not to get scale crazy so I think I will just weigh myself on Fridays from no on. I'm hoping I lost another lb but I'm not expecting it, you know most doctors say that they don't expect you to loose much of anything before your first fill. I feel great with the 13lbs I've lost so far though!
