Week 12 - Reflux Treatment
-15kg
Ok - so I told the surgeon about the reaching and the discomfort. She had a box full of Esomeprazole Packs. Basically a 7 Day course to reduce the acidity level in the stomach to promote healing and recovery. - I took 1 pill at 5 pm, the next day I felt like a $million bucks.
Problem being, I got my appetite back. - There is a risk I might put on a bit of weight if I'm not careful.
What I've noticed is I can be satisfied with tiny meals if I eat real slow and get up and walk around before I complete my meal. If I just sit there and scoff it - I'll knock off over 200grams of food with ease. And depending on what consistency is, maybe more!
The point is with the band you don't get huge binge temptations - and you can't really "binge" anyway. If you do it you're not only endangering your surgery but you'll suffer pain straight away - check out my First Spit post.
So from a week of not eating much at all - to eating 3 small meals a day - I have to be extra careful from, this week onwards to keep my physical activity up and the meal quantities nice and small.
Also I've been going to the gym - and have noticed a huge increase in stamina and strength.
- oh and there is a new Brazilian Instructor! :D
