Week 9 - First Spit
-12Kgs
OK - so meals are straight forward and small during the day - but at night I'm really hungry, and finding it hard not to graze like a cow.
And tonight my first punishment for not listening to my surgeon.
- Eat slow she says - eat slow. Yeah Yeah - I thought she was telling me this so I'd enjoy my meals more.
WRONG
I got home and shoved about 4 or 5 Pizza Shapes (Dry Savory Biscuits) into my gob. - Chewed fairly well and swallowed. Got some bolognaise sauce out the fridge (mostly tomato) and had about 4 quick tablespoons (DON'T ASK ME WHY I DID THIS).
And before the last mouthful went down - BANG Something was wrong.
It wasn't pain as such, but it was very VERY uncomfortable. It felt like reflux with a vengeance. I spat out the food in my mouth and draped myself over the kitchen sink waiting for a spew. I couldn't swallow my spit - I just let it fall out of my mouth.
It was like someone had jammed a garden hose down my food pipe and turned it on full.
3 mins later in an instant the discomfort completely went away. 15 mins after that I cautiously ate tea.
Lesson Number 1 - I'm a dickhead.
Lesson Number 2 - Listen to your Surgeon.
Lesson Number 3 - Confidence makes people do stupid things.
Lesson Number 4 - It was a NASTY sensation that I don't EVER want to have happen again.
