The trip to Riga was great. I’ll be honest though, it isn’t somewhere you’d want to go if you want to ‘do’ things or see amazing sights. But it’s fantastic if you just want to relax in an outdoor café sipping a latte or downing a beer while listening to live music.
Our hotel was rather quaint if not slightly bizarre. The room we had was located in the roof! Reception was located on the third floor of the building .. our room was on the seventh floor … and the best part? The lift only went to the fifth floor! Ha! What’s that about? LOL!
On the Saturday, we were wandering around this amazing parkland in the heart of the city when we happened upon several wedding parties. Oh. My. Gawd! The fashion was so bad it made you want to belly laugh! It was soooo tacky! Think 80s … think taffeta … think leopard print. Cringe! We had such a laugh quietly poking fun at these poor, unfortunate souls (I know it’s probably really bad karma!)! People, if I’m ever seen in similar clobber … contact your local fashion-nasta for my immediate arrest! LOL!

Of course, over the past seven days I have had a couple of ‘chokes’. It’s bound to happen at least a dozen times (or more!) … I mean, prior to surgery I inhaled rather than ate food – so it’s going to take me an age to learn these new eating habits! ‘Choke’ culprits have included pecan nuts, yoghurt (what the!?), chicken and salmon. The yoghurt and the salmon were because I ate too fast. The pecan nuts and chicken were because the food was way too dry … it just seemed to get caught on the way down.
I am eating less now than before surgery but not as little as I should be. My restriction is minimal - I only really feel it in the morning. Come evening time, I can eat a normal size meal without hesitation. Sigh. So guess what?! Ah huh. I’m off for yet another fill on Saturday - hopefully, this third fill will result in some serious restriction and precipitate weight loss ... finally!
