I'm Back!!!

Well, all my computer issues turned out to be because of an update in programing that they did but didn't do for me, so they got my modem up-to-date and all is working nicely now

Which means I am back and can really update about the doctor's visit. Which was definitely more than just a weight in and fill session, as they always are.
I don't think I have mentioned on here about the horrible time I have been have with acid reflux recently but it was making me have to eat something every 2-3 hours or the pain was unbearable. All of which had the effect of slowing down, not stopping, my weight loss.
I was eating antacids and anti gas meds like they were candy and mostly they helped for a little bit but not really affective long term-wise. I had been to see a kinesologist and talked to him about it he gave me some supplemental pill to take with large meals. Question here.... when do i ever eat a large meal? I tried it but it just didn't do anything either, don't know that I believe that there is anything wrong with my pancreas anyway. So I spoke with my surgeon about it when he asked if I was having any reflux or throwing up problems. I told him none with food involved but I was have acid reflux when it had been a few hours since eating. I also told him what the keneiologist ( not sure about spelling on that one and spell check isn't helping so you get creative spelling till I hopefully stumble on the right one) said about my pancreas and he didn't seem to think that that was the problem said my pancreas was fine. He was interested in the fact that I have problem not when laying down or after over eating but when I hadn't eaten. Said that most of the time the restriction kept that kind of reflux from happening in lap band patients. he suggested a dissolvable pepcid if I wanted it but said the fill might take care of it too. So I went with the fill figuring if it didn't work I could get the rx for the pepcid from him next visit. So...did getting a fill work? YUP!it was so nice yesterday during my day of liquids post fill to not have acid reflux all day and this morning to not have a totally sour stomach. Speaking of nice things about having a fill and new restriction... today it was also nice to not be able to eat until ten and then to not be ravenous at noon and two and four and....I know I wasn't eating huge amounts of food but I was definitely able to eat more and with the reflux thing going on was eating more more often so it was nice this morning to eat strawberry applesauce and have it take care of me till one or so then eat a soft protein lunch and have it fill me up. I had a snack ( ok it was a frosty a small one and they have 8grams of protein) so haven't had dinner yet but will have something later I am sure maybe a deviled egg or egg salad. But it so nice to know that I will be full after the small amount of food and won't be feeling like I need to eat in two hours because of acid reflux.
Tomorrow night I see my parents for the first time in about a year...gonna be interesting to see if they recognise me.
I will post about my virtual walk progress sometime this weekend.
