Re: Did something I shouldn't have

Kem: I am glad that you didn't have to PB the fish up. That is the good

news. The bad news is if you are like most of us old bandsters, you will

make bad choices in the future too. It is so darn hard to change habits and

keep your brain in bandster gear. My band is over a year old and I have

lost 90 pounds, however, last night after a few bites my dinner got stuck.

Why?? Well, because I had been eating grapes with the skins on and my pouch

was full. Why did I try to eat dinner.... because it was time and my hubby

was eating. It is hard to listen to your body when your brain does not want

to behave. So, remember to follow the eating phase for now.. you do not

want to damage anything and every day you have to remember to listen to your

body and make that " fat brain " be quiet.

This weekend my hubby took the kids camping and fishing. He caught a

28 inch 7 lb steelhead and brought it home. He cooked it up tonight

and I ate some of it..whole. I'm still in liquid phase and could not

see putting it in a blender because the thought of it grossed me out.

Anyway, I ate about 2 oz. of it with some tarter sauce and some thinned

out veggies. After about 5 bites I knew I'd done wrong..just got a

weird feeling down the old gullet. I can't chew the fish down properly

and that tarter sauce had little chunks of pickle in..it felt like a

chunk of something was in my chest so I stopped. No PB or anything,

just that feeling of a chunk in my chest. Anyway, that was 3 hours

ago, I'm fine now but learned a valuable lesson NOT to be tempted by

eating out of whatever phase I'm supposed to be in at the time. Back

to good ol yogurt and soups tomorrow;-)

Valuable lesson learned, Kem. I learned that one on thinking I could

have clam chowder on day seven. Full liquids were OK for me, but I

figured those little pieces of clam would be " no problem " . Wrong. I

still avoid clams, though I love them, since it is almost impossible

to " chew them into mush " the way you can many other things. They're

just to tough and rubbery, and won't go thru my tight band.

One thing that I really craved when on the liquid phase was crab. It

just sounded soooo good to me as I consumed my V8 juice. What I ended

up doing was purchasing a crab charm for my weight loss charm bracelet.

For every 10 lbs gone, I reward myself with a new charm. That crab was

my first charm. And the funny thing is, once on solids I didn't crave

crab. It's funny what we crave when we can't have it. The reality is

never as good as the fantasy!

Yours was crab..mind is lobster and shrimp. I don't know what the deal

is but I've craved it for a week now! I can't bear the thought of

tossing it in a blender..oh fish imulsion comes to mind YUK! I only

have until Friday and I can go onto soft food..I'm just not up to date

on what all soft food entails so it's back to Jessie's book and the

kind information of others here;-) I'm not slipping again..not worth

messing up my band for trout! Learned my lesson..
