Bandster eating and BOOBS Roomies

Okay...thanks for all the comments about the bread and spinach situation.  Let's never speak of it again.  LOL.  I was terrified to eat the rest of the day.  However, after awhile I realized I was starved.  So I had 1/2 cup of chicken tortilla soup with half an avocado.  Everything went well.  Thank you band goddessess!!

Fast forward to lunch today...the same damn soup did not want to cooperate.  I really think it was the cheese being a melt blob.  What I've realized is that I didn't follow the chew, chew, chew rules since being banded.  It is now  obvious that I will need to chew like my life depends on it...because I can't even do that slimy thing on a regular basis.  I would just die.

I had popcorn for dinner.  LOL...I know, not the healthiest meal, but I wasn't really hungry.  Still not hungry.  This means I need to start on protein shakes again...to make sure I get enough protein on days like this.

I have roommates for BOOBS.  People actually like me.  LOL.   I will be staying with 3 fabulous women.  I'm sure I can corrupt them...if not the other way around.  I can't wait to Chicago. 

I'm actually heading to Chicago next week.  A very good friend is getting her Master's Degree at 53.  I'm so proud of her.  I am flying in to surprise her at graduation.  She is going to love it. I get to spend time with her and all 4 of my besties.  I'm so excited. 

Usually when I make plans for going home I plan my visit around what I plan on eating.  Not this time.  I do plan on hitting some of my favorite spots, but I'm not totally planning my visit around food.  That is huge for me.  I do plan on doing some shopping.  I love to shop!!
