OK, so the past 2-3 weeks I have had some serious eating issues. I feel like I have a goofy situation, but here goes.......
1) I'm really restricted in the morning......which the dietician said is perfectly normal, so I'm not worried about that part.
2) Whenever I eat, the first 5 bites or so always seem to get stuck. So I sit there for about 5 minutes or so waiting for them to either go down or come back up. The weird part, is after it comes up (cuz that's usually what happens) I feel much better and then I can eat normally. And when I say normally, I mean, I can eat quite a bit. Not what I used to eat pre-band, but definitely more than I have been able to eat 6 weeks ago. For sure more than a cup and a half. So, do I need a fill? I would say I do, but the part that makes me doubt it, is the fact that the few first bites get stuck EVERY time! Any suggestions?
That's the whole "weird" situation. The other part is all my fault. I've been snacking, I haven't been getting in my protein, and I haven't been taking my daily vitamin. I feel like I'm slowly going back to my old habits and I'm scared to death. How do I get back on track???
You have "first bite syndrom." Lots of us do. I seem to suffer from it about a week before TOM. My advice. Take extra small bites (like crazy small) and chew the hell out of them for the first few bites. Then I'm usually OK.
ReplyDeleteNo good strategies from me about getting back on track. I've been lost for a couple months now. Here's hoping the new year finds us both back on the wagon. :) Merry Christmas!
Go back to bandster rules- that is my plan since I have been struggling too.
