Just got back from my appointment with the doctor...drum roll please!
In the last 28 days I have lost an additional 11 pounds! Yippee! That brings my total to 35 pounds!
He went ahead and "filled" my band today, I was worried that he wouldn't because I had lost more than ten pounds. I think it was because I have been hungry betweeen meals and was able to eat chicken, he said it was time to fill. Being hungry between meals is not a good thing with the band it, like over eating, stresses out the band. A fill is when they insert saline into the bandto tighten it a bit and make the stoma between the upper and lower stomach smaller so you are not able to eat as much. So each time a fill is done a little bit more saline is put in in decreasing amounts. When the surgery was done a little was put in to test it so today he removed what was in it and was surprised to see .5 ml (evidently it was more than he thought he put in) but since I already had that much in he added another 1.2ml to it for a toatal of 1.7ml. Normaly they start fills with just the 1.2ml. For the rest of today I am back on liquids and tomorrow soft foods but then I have no restrictions on eating except I will need to chew chew chew it and take the small bites and no drinking with eating. YEAH!!
The past week has been an adventure in stress but with it ending like this I am ok with what I have had to go through! But I will write my thoughts and feeling on that later right now I am getting ready to go to a SA dance so will go dance some stress away with some more pounds!
