I need some new shirts. Everything I have is either way too big or too small. The stuff I have inherited is all women's clothing, so while the pants fit, the shirts are ridiculous. I put on a women's button down shirt yesterday that fit me fine around, but my long arms were sticking out 4 inches past the cuff. I have really wide shoulders, so shirts are hard for me. I need to go shopping tonight because I have a new (to me) suit that I'm happy to wear (as it fits) but I have nothing to wear under it.
Yesterday was extremely busy. I was working and on the go until 9PM, and my mind wouldn't stop racing with all I had going on. I couldn't sleep last night, and I was up most of the night so today I'm dragging. I should have purchased a coffee on the way in.
Speaking of which, I cannot eat and drive. When you are banded, you have to be able to eat slowly. If you take too big of a bite, the food gets stuck and it's very painful. You can either suffer through it or spit it up. I know, gross. (Not as gross as being 200 lbs overweight, though)
Yesterday I stopped by Dunkins on the way to a meeting, and I purchased an ice coffee and a turkey sausage multigrain flat bread for lunch. I didn't realize it, but they gave me a turkey, bacon and cheese flat bread - not what I ordered. Oh well - I didn't have time to get anything else, and I started to eat the sandwich while driving. I was in a rush, and I wasn't thinking, and all of the sudden, I had a giant golf ball feeling in my chest (technically, my esophagus).
It wouldn't go away, and it was very painful, and I ended up having to spit up my food into a bag that almost started leaking all over my suit. Nice. Very nice.
So, I must plan to be much better about planning to eat when I have time (which isn't always possible), and no more attempts at eating in the car when I am distracted.

OMG...I have never met someone that has to make themselves go shopping. Most people that lose weight love to shop. Get on some new heels and kick'em up at the mall.
I have to make myself shop too, natch...
TJ's met me I think -
I hear you on not liking/wanting to shop but now that you're thinner, it should be fun... I get it that you don't want to spend too much money on clothes now since you're not at goal though. It feels like a waste but it's a nessessity of course.
And your shoulders are a lot more narrow than before -
Just buy a few inexpensive shirts that will last a few weeks or a month and you'll be fine.
Thanks for sharing the gross DD story - ick.
Dresses fit much easier
stoops
You mean stoop, singular -
TJ's the one who told you to buy a dress, not moi
Just sayin
I'd pay to see that! Sorry bout that painful episode! Thankfully you COULD get it out!
