I think I need a fill.

Oh no you don't. Theresa has been getting stuck a lot lately,
  • Chicken nugget: STUCK
  • Milk: STUCK
  • Sauteed onions: STUCK
  • Water: STUCK
  • Soup: STUCK
She always manages it well and has even become graceful when yacking. A testament to her proper upbringing.
I feel for her during these times and try to be a source of encouragement and sympathy. I even find myself passing up items at the grocery store that I know are potential hand grenades.
People have WLS surgery for a reason, and that would be to lose weight of course. So, when the scale is not moving downward accordingly....panic sets in and rational thinking is out.
Here is a conversation about a week ago:


Theresa: "I really haven't been losing lately...I think I need a fill."
Me in my most gentle and understanding voice: "Are you smoking CRACK?"
Theresa: "What?"
Me: "Are you seriously smoking CRACK?"

End of conversation. Reality sets in quickly and the thought passes. Theresa's body is changing rapidly, she looks great, and she's happy. Why mess with a good thing right?

Mysteriously, her band Pearl is very tolerant of the Fume Blanc...goes right through.

That's my girl.


I'm listening!

    Wow! I can really relate to Theresa. I had to go and throw up at a luncheon yesterday. I have been sitting at the same weight for over 3 weeks! Patience is a virtue I do not have, unfortunately!

    My DH is totally oblivious to what my band is doing/not doing at the moment. Generally, his comments are along the lines of "hey, your boobs look bigger now that your waist is smaller!" Observant, huh?

    My husband could have written the exact same post, but it wouldn't have been nearly as funny.

    Your blog will be required reading at my hacienda. Ron is very supportive, but oblivious. Yesterday I made his lunch and then sat in den to read my kindle. He said " I know you don't want to eat with me cause I eat too fast and you get stuck." DUH. Yes, that and the talking.
    He could stand to "listen" a bit.
    Half way there.

    This was funny? I thought I was the only person who still asked people if they were smoking crack. Too funny!

    OH my...she can yak gracefully? How??? it is all drama at my house...everyone moans and I make obnoxious noises.

    I usually ask David if he wants a band right after said yaking sessions...he just rolls his eyes and makes a humph noise. Tell Tessie I need lessons!!!
