Getting Back on Schedule

Jul 17, 2009

Life is  life....always hectic. My journey has been long with some bumps but I'm doing ok. The first year I stayed pretty sick and didn't lose that much weight(about 30 pounds). In November, I had the Essure procedure done where the doctor puts springs in your fallopean (?sp) tubes and you grow scar tissue to prevent pregnancy. It's a small procedure done in the doctors office and you are fine the next day. During the first 3 months of this procedure you're not protected so he gave me the Depo shot. I was starving and at the time couldn't understand what was going on. In January, I went to OB doctor for my check up and he scheduled the follow up. I did not get another depo shot but got birth control pills to make sure i was protected until the radiologist cleared me. You have to go to the hospital and the radiologist puts some fluid in you and makes sure the tubes are closed. Well mine were and I don't have any more birth control. Also in the end of January I went and had a fill done, I lost 35 pounds over the next 6 to 8 weeks. More from the birth control than the fill I think. Plus I started exercising at Curves again in February. I was doing good but just miserable because I was overfilled and couldn't eat anything. I was sick all the time. No one wanted to be around me because if I had to eat it was going to be horrible. In May, I went and had an unfill. It was wonderful at first because I could eat. I didn't realize how much I had missed food. Well, I have gained about 5 pounds back. I want to get more weight off and have scheduled another appointment for a fill. I don't want to get as much as last time but need a little more. Oh how I wished I would have just had the RNY, I don't enjoy messing with the fills. I plan to be more diligent and always struggle with healthy snacks. I need more variety but have always been picky. I welcome any comments or suggestions. I hope my story helps someone one day. I'm going to try to do better updating and tracking my progress. Reading others stories always helped me.....Christy
