Sweet relief! Just got back from doctor's office, he took out 0.25 cc's so I'm back to 5.5 cc's in my band. He was nice and concerned but seemed to be feeling me out to see if I just wanted to have an eating party. I told him I thought the simpler and more likely explanation is that my band was too tight. I would have preferred him to take 0.1 cc's and he suggested 0.5 cc's so we compromised on 0.25.
I'll be taking it easy but now at least I feel like as long as I'm careful I won't be throwing up. Please dear Lord don't let me throw up anymore.
I'm a little worried that I'll gain weight, but I'll just have to be extra careful. I hope that by taking some of the fluid out I will be at or near my sweet spot rather than into the red, overfilled zone.
I lost two pounds overnight, I'm sure from getting sick but I'm officially in the two-teens (by a half pound, but still...). For now, anyway. I'm counting it.
So glad you feel relief from the unfill...it is so miserable if you are tight. Here is to being in the green zone!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally count the loss...you earned it!! Glad you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThank Goodness you feel better which is so much more important.. it is nice to see the scale drop.. but the red zone scares me too. Doctors are funny about having patients second guess their fill judgement..but isn't the first rule of medicine "Do no harm".. so they should listen to the patient.. anyway.. glad you are feeling better
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling better. So here's the deal, when I was overfilled, I lost 3 pounds in two days. Gained 1/2 of it back when I got a bit out. It's okay, you'll lose it just drink lots of water since you're likely dehydrated and you'll be back on track. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some assistance with things! HOpe that does the trick for you. and yahoo on the 2lbs down!
ReplyDeleteGlad you feel better too. Drink lots of fluids and you'll be back to normal soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you do better with this "unfill/fill". This is the part that scares me. Good luck that this one hits the spot!
