Hiccup.

So, I got my first fill on Thursday. Was a very strange experience. I could feel it closing around my stomach. Felt a bit nauseous at first...but I was able to swallow a glass of water.

Weighed in... officially down 21 lbs! Woohoo!




Tonight, however, I barfed for the first time. I almost barfed at lunch...in a restaurant... but I managed to fight it off. Good thing too. The bathroom was NASTY.

Felt a tightness in my chest... ate too fast, I guess. Tried to wash it down with a bit of juice. Didn't work. Just made it worse. So, I barfed. Immediately felt better. Later, I made a smoothie for dinner. Gotta be more diligent about chewing. Noticed some only partially-chewed linguini in the toilette... (too much info?)

I find crunchy things are easier to eat than pasta. I can really pulverize the hell out of a bagel chip.

Anyway, off to Miami tomorrow for a big conference. Can't wait to hit the beach. YA!

Oh... and today, I bought myself a trip to Cozumel. June 20-26. I'm gonna snorkel the hell out of those reefs. Goooooodbye, stress!

Hi I read your blog----I am thinking of having the surgery--at nyu----I have started the process--send me an e-mail (kasa_jewelry@hotmail.com)

I really enjoyed your candor. It would be good to have some one to talk to about this ---who has gone through it.
The "boardwalk" you talk about is that in Brooklyn Heights? I am in Fort Greene.
Just to let you know I am not crazy--I am 35 --at 305lbs--and I also have a great boyfreind who better give me a stuffed animal!
