The Never-Ending, Ever-Changing, Learning Curve

Are you still constantly amazed by foods which will go down without a problem one day, but will trip you up the next? I am. Hence this post. Who would have thought that a (rather large) bite of chocolate packed full of air bubbles, could ever get stuck?!? Actually having said that, although chocolate is classed as a slider food, I still find I can only eat a certain amount of it (ie 3 or four chocolates from a box, or 6 or so chunks from a bar) in one go; whereas pre-band I could have eaten 3 or 4 boxes and 6 bars... But, back to the point, how is it that something as slide-tastic as this can get stuck after just one bite? I'm sitting here waiting for it to go down so I can take a slurp of the good, strong coffee I made to accompany it.


PS, the photo above is not of the bar I'm eating; the one I'm eating is smaller - honestly!

  2. I can get chocolate down no matter what. I think the problem with yours is the bubbles. Just kidding. Hope it goes down soon.

  4. Bad thing is, I know which kind of chocolate that is! I had one piece of it last week, and made myself give the rest to my granddaughter.

    I still have days where my stomach is swollen and I can only do liquids. I had a sleeve back in Nov. so I am hoping that is because I'm still healing.

  5. Oh goodness, that chocolate looks good. I'm sure it doesn't feel very good at the moment though :( Hang in there!

  7. I'm amazed that I can eat an ENTIRE salad with grilled chicken on it, but a few bites of a baked chicken nugget this morning made me think I would die for a few minutes. This band thing is fickle, for sure.
