We survived the flight, but the sipping I did on the plane came back to haunt me and I slimed my way through baggage claim, running back and forth from the claim belt to the bathroom, trudging through an under-airconditioned JFK outside to find my husband, who was waiting in a different terminal because Delta switched us at the last minute but neglected to tell anyone.
I slimed into garbage cans, sweating and trying to keep the kids on the sidewalk and the luggage cart from rolling into traffic. When we finally found Hubs, I sat miserably in the car for 45 minutes until I finally threw up into an airsick bag I nipped from JetBlue a few months ago (Delta didn't have any). It was awful.
Last night I sipped a couple - literally, a couple - ounces of tea before bed. This morning I've had a few sips of tea again, but it's not going down easily. Thank God I have an appointment today.
The thing is, I'm at 5.5 cc's, which historically has never been a problem for me. I'm sure the combination of elevation, flying and ridiculous humidity at home is exacerbating the situation. I wonder, though, if I should ask for a fluoro just to make sure everything is OK. I haven't had one since my first fill.
I weighed in a 205.4 today, which is a recent (but not all-time) low. On one hand, it's nice to be back in shouting distance of Onederland. On the other hand, I am exhausted, starving and irritable. All I can think about is being able to eat again.
I'm so sorry you are goign through this. I learned the hard way that anytime I have to fly, I HAVE to get a small unfill or I will be miserable. 3 weeks ago, I thought I'd be fine, sure enough I was tighter than Scrooge McDuck's wallet. It passes in a few days (try Prilosec OTC), but I hate that you are so miserable. At least you're home now!! Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteUgh! Too tightness sucks! I'm sure it's a combo of everything you mentioned that creating this miserable situation for you. I would probably just go with an unfill and then if you're still having issues, as for fluoro. I'm sure you're just smidge too tight but if you're worried, it never hurts to ask.
ReplyDeleteKristin.. I write this with caring and love in my heart.. but you should not be experiencing this at all.. I had a small period of perisistent slimming but it was truly associated with eating too fast and bites that were too large.. you have had such persistent issues.. I feel for you.. but I really think your doc needs to get an esophogram or shot of where the band is situation.. its just not adding up.. .I iwshi I could help you some way .. some how.. be persistent with your doc.. hugs
ReplyDeleteI agree with Barbara, you have had way more than your fair share of trouble. I got my first un-fill and man do I feel better, it sucks to be too tight. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteSounds awful, hope that you get some relief after your appointment.
ReplyDeleteFlying does me in. They think there might be an air bubble which changes when I fly. I got so tight last February that I needed an un-fill. Hope all works out for you.
ReplyDeleteMiserable! I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine sliming through airport security.
ReplyDeleteyou poor lady!!Makes me nervous to fly!
