Looking good!

While I haven't lost hardly any weight in the past couple months, I have gotten many compliments.

I think it's probably just clever dressing ;)

Getting Stuck

Pre lap-band I thought, I will probably get stuck once, learn my lesson and then it won't happen again.

WRONG!

For a while, when I didn't have any restriction, I never got stuck. That is of course very common. Well I'm now on my 3 fill (I have 3.5ccs in my band) and while I don't get stuck or slime as much as others, it does happen.

Being "stuck" is AWFUL! It ranges from a mild discomfort to awful, awful pain. And while I can try to explain it to others, there is nothing like experiencing it.

To slime is different. It's like being stuck and knowing the food will not eventually go down. So where can it go? That's right, up! You feel a bit of extra saliva (slime) building up and you better get to a bathroom or trashcan.

So here is where I'm wrong, its happened a few times. I make wrong choices or don't chew enough or to quickly. I guess I'm learning my lesson, slowly but it's happening. I dread to know what another fill will do for me, but I guess we will see!
