GOOD AND BAD.... Advice

So.. I have been SO good with my eating... even being away in New York and trying to eat in the car there and back.. I did really well!  Last night Mike and the kids decided to order pizza for dinner.. a treat that they really don't have very often anymore. (to be considerate to me)   I decided to rationalize why it would be OK for me to have ONE slice of pizza with just chicken and veggies on it.  Well.. it was a bad idea.  About four bites in.. it came right back up.  I don't know why I continue to try things when I KNOW they are not going to work for me... sigh.  And as a reminder.. when I was throwing up... I burst all the little blood vessels in my face... it happens every time and stays for days :(  NO FUN.  Anyone else have this problem?


Its actually a lot darker in person.. almost like a bruise.

Anyway... good news.   My husband weighed himself this afternoon.. and I weigh less than him by 7 pounds!!!!!  That has NEVER happened before!  I feel small lol.. even though to look at us you wouldn't know it... it may be silly but it makes me feel good!!!!!!

Is it that it is just too much food, or is there something particular about one of the components of pizza that is hard for you? Something I've seen some people do for a treat is eat just the cheese/meat/veggie toppings off of a slice and not bother with the crust.

ya im pretty sure it was the crust.. it was pretty doey.. i thought if I really chewed and took it slow it would be ok.. but no way.. im really bad with breads of any kind..

I was looking forward to weighing less than my husband too.  I actually felt more feminine because of this. . . . . I didn't realize that being smaller than him would effect me so much. . . .but it does.  I love that feeling!  Enjoy.

Sorry about the pizza puking. . . . that can't be nice.

I can relate to the bread problem. Im not really complaining because toast and jam was a weakness of mine. But i was in agony the last time i tried eating bread.

I think it's great you were sick, lol don't mean that in a mean way but I think it would help me to keep on track. So the pizza gave you a black eye lol. Fiesty food. lol

And that is awsome that you weigh less than your hubby now, I will feels so great when I get there too. I get the point about feeling more feminine being smaller. I don't have any illusions that he will ever be able to carry me. lol lol (mental picture lol)

i am pre op so i dont have the vomit problem... but when i i vomit i do break all the vessels in my face... when i was prego with my daughter i was so sick.. i had a women walk up to me in a store telling me i dont have to live like that they can make it safe for me and the kids to leave and he will never find us...LOL she thought i was battered

Sounds like it might be a good idea to give pizza a miss for awhile.

Hi Amy,

I did this myself about 2 weeks ago.  Took a few days and the blood vessels disappeared.  Mine were mostly around the eyes and I felt like a dork!  LOL  Mine was fish sticks.. not a good plan for me apparently!   I have tried pizza, but only had cheese pizza.. just ate the topping off of one piece  (aka the cheese!  lol) and patted all the grease off the top with a paper towel.  It was still yummy though.  Had the taste of the pizza sauce and I loved it.

It was probably the crust that got you.  I can't do the bread thing.  Tried those skinny bagels today and ate just over 1/4 of it and it sat in there for over an hour very uncomfortably!  Oh well.. another thing off my list maybe!

Awesome about weighing less than your husband by the way!  I'm totally jealous!

When I had the evil Lap Band in I was vomiting at least 5 times a day - I constantly had burst vessels on my face, and sometimes my throat.  I know that closing my eyes when vomiting made it a little better though.
