Not sure if this is the result of the 5 Day Pouch Test but I am so tight I can barely eat solids. This was not my problem a week ago. Yesterday I went to brunch with a dear friend and after a few bites ended up in the bathroom sliming and hurling (I know - TMI). It is hugely embarassing. This friend does not know about my surgery and I am starting to run out of convincing excuses for major swaths of time being spent in the loo. Today, my lunch does not want to go down. The frustrating thing is that if I cannot eat anything healthy, I start to look for sliders later to get something down. I guess I am just going to have to replace the unhealthy sliders with healthy ones like yogurt and cottage cheese. Some days this band is so frustrating!
On another note, I have been thinking a lot lately about why it seems so much harder to lose weight in my 40s than it was in my 20s and 30s. Other than my lovely perimenopausal self, I have some theorys and plan to write a blog about it soon. So, stay tuned. (That is if there is still anyone out there interested in my rantings ;-)
