Trace Curry
I am very happy to have found Dr. Curry. I have never had a doctor who makes themself so available to his patients. You email, call or post on his forum and you get an answer even on the weekends. Dr. C is very down to earth in the way he speaks to me - everything is explained in simple terms that anyone could understand. rnrnI feel like I have team support from everyone in his office, we all have the same goal in mind getting me healthy. rnrnI give Dr. C and his staff a big gold star because they are indeed super stars.rnrn

Down another 3 lbs - I'm so happy this is working even with me in the chair - I wonder how much faster I would lose if I was able to do more exercise?

This past week I've had a lot of sliming episodes.  I think I'm just eating too much.  I reach a point where I should stop but because something tastes so good I try a couple more bites then I pay for it.  Pain and sliming~ not fun!

I have another check up appointment coming up in a couple weeks - right now I don't think I need another fill due to all the slime but sometimes I think I do need it - right now I just can't tell so I guess I'll say no to another fill and when I think I need another one I will go in.

Saturday was my Birthday
on June 25, 2007 4:52 am

I had a great day! It started off a little slow -  I slept most of the morning and afternoon away.  But went shopping at Victoria Secrets didn't get any fancy undies but I bought some makeup and perfume.  I want to feel more girly. 

Hubby got me a gift cert to Glamour Shots now I just have to find some really great outfits to wear for my photo shoot.

I did go a little heavy on the sugar that day.  I had a carmel creme fapp from starbucks and then after dinner had Ice cream - so by evening I almost felt drunk - too much sugar seems to do that to me.  But it was worth it I enjoyed.  We went to dinner at one of my favorite places Mitchell's Fish Market.  Had a very tasty salmon with spinch and skipped on the rice.  

I was feeling really great that day.

Lost another 2lbs very happy with that. Being in the wheelchair and not getting much activity and still losing that is great news for me.

I need to focus on the way I eat - I think I might not be chewing well enough or I'm eating too much.  I think it might be a little of both because after I eat I always have this feeling that everything might come up and I get a little excess saliva going on.  Not a full out slime but more than normal. So I guess this means restriction - its about time.  Now I just have to figure out is it at the "sweet spot" or do I still need another fill.  Not really sure how you can tell.  I guess I'll post a message to the board to find out a little more.

Also started PT on Monday for the foot - this is going to be a painful process.  I'm starting to think that the PT people are similar to dentists - they like to cause people pain. (No offence to all the PT and dentists not that you really like to cause the pain but your in professions that cause pain)

I'm all wet
on June 16, 2007 8:08 pm
Had my very first sliming episode tonight.  I wanted chicken wings for dinner so I ate the first one and it got a little stuck then my mouth just started watering like crazy I had to keep spitting out the saliva because if I swallowed it that made the stuck feeling worse.  The feeling past and I decided to try again so I peeled the skin off the wings and that helped but by the fourth wing the saliva started back up again - so gross really.  I was almost hoping something would come up to rid myself of the stuck feeling and the crazy water works.  I tried chewing up some papaya enzyme. I don't know if it helped or not but I tried to stay as calm as possible because I noticed the more stressed I felt the worse things felt.  So steady breathing and kept spitting then things got better - I don't think I'll try wings again for a long time.  

I believe we have restriction - maybe not sweet spot - but we have something going on.  

I will say that the stuck feeling felt kinda like the pressure behind a dam that need to break free. It was extremely uncomfortable.  I do not want to have that happen ever again.

I got a weight
on June 11, 2007 3:36 pm
I was able to get a weight today ~ 268.8~ 

At work in the shipping dept they have a large floor scale - I wheeled up on it with the chair and then we just weighed the chair  ~ subtract and I got a weight.  I really thought I would have been down a little more based on how my clothes feel but hey I'm still moving down scale so that's a great thing.

NSV: I think its time to purchase new undies - their just too big.undies

3rd Fill
on June 7, 2007 3:06 pm
Today had my 3rd fill 0.5cc - which puts my total at 2.5cc.  Right now I'm really hungry since I can only have clear liquids today.  Feeling a little spacey. Can't wait till tomorrow to be able to eat purees.  I really hate the days that I can't eat food - it always makes me feel a little off.

Doctors office really wants to get a weight on me but due to the foot surgery I still can't get on a scale - I can't wait to be able to weigh myself too - I really want to know how I've done.
