I notice a real difference with this fill. It was tiny, just 0.1 cc, but it's like night and day in terms of what I can and can't eat. Which is good - my volume is way down, and bad - can't do much in the way of vegetables.
I've stuck mostly to liquids to be on the safe side, but there's some weirdness happening. Yesterday I was able to eat a moist turkey burger at a lunchtime bbq (I know, crazy, right?) but got stuck after two bites of scallops last night at dinner. This morning my tea took a while to drink and I had blended turkey chili for lunch to keep things going down easy. Tonight I had a bite of parmesan cheese, it got stuck and now I'm sliming.
I've had a lot less sugar and a lot more exercise, and guess what? The scale isn't moving. So I'm frustrated.
But I tried on my pretty new dress this afternoon and it looks nice. I'm trying to be positive even though I'm feeling kind of pissy.
I am thinking less often about food, and not feeling much hunger, now that I think about it. So that's good too.
At my appointment, I talked to my surgeon about my trip to the Bahamas later this month, and how nervous I am that I'll get too tight and spend the whole time getting sick. After I told him my mom and sister are both nurses, he gave me a syringe and needle to take with me so if I have an emergency they can take some fluid out of my band. It's extreme, but it's a huge weight off my shoulders and now I don't feel like I'll have to get an unfill before we go to make sure all goes smoothly.
OK, I think whatever was stuck has moved on. No PB this time. WOOT.
catching up on blogs..can we return to the shopping post for a minute..I do wish that you had been more satisfied (i have never tried a personal shopper), but I love what you got! especially the goldish top...very sexy and you look great in them! hope you feel great too!
ReplyDeleteGlad that your fill is making a difference! I just got 0.2 taken out because I have been getting nervous with a lot of pb'ing and don't want to hurt my esophagus but now I feel like I can eat anything...i need to work on a lil discipline!
glad your worries about the bahamas have been relieved a bit! time to put those tops to work!
Hi Kristin! On my way now to get a slight fill and hoping it does the trick for me. In a major plateau for the last couple of months and I think about food way too often.
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin - where in The bahamas are you coming to? I live in Nassau and have a GREAT surgeon who I'm sure would see you in event of an emergency. If you have any questions about where to go, what to do while here, just holler on my blog
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a 0.1 cc fill tomorrow. I so hope it works out and doesn't get me too tight. But I want to see the weight go down too. I've been at that sweet spot and want it back.
ReplyDeleteI hope your fill smooths out a bit and your able to eat consistently soon!! And I'm so so so happy he gave you a syringe that your mom or sister could take some out with if the need arose. I bet you were able to just heave a big 'ol sigh of relief at that one. And watch, now you won't have the slightest issue while on your trip!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all you wonderful people (you and your commentors that get this .1cc fills and unfills - when my dr thinks anything less than .5cc is a complete waste of time. Thanks for reminding me yet again what a tool he is.
