Oh No!! Not Again!!

Jun 20, 2009

  I am having band troubles.  After my fill, I seemed to be doing great.  Monday I ate real solid food and did just fine with it.  Tuesday, DH and I hit the road for Vegas.  We stopped at Flagstaff to grab lunch.  I had 3/4 of an egg roll and some of DH's salad.  I didn't feel the need to PB afterwards...and wasn't in any pain, but when we got on the road I could certainly feel the food sitting in my pouch, heavy.  I just thought to myself, the food will go down eventually, it didn't feel stuck and I didn't have the urge to PB.  Looking back, I should have tried to force it back out I guess.  

I have been miserable ever since.  The same thing happened when I went to Sedona at Christmas time.  Soooooo, I am praying that my irritated band will heal itself again.  I have been staying on liquids, and some days, that's not much at all.  I was able to get some soup down yesterday and more water than before.  However, last night I was throwing up gastric acids most of the night.    NOT a pleasant thing at all!  Most of my vacation was like this.  Other than being in pain, being exhausted and weak, I had a great time in Vegas.  Seeing my family was great and seeing the THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER was awesome!!!     OMG, those guys are GORGEOUS!!  YUMMY!!!  I have my picture with them and will scan it in and post it later.  

With not being able to eat, etc...I am down to 170 now!!  LOL   I would have loved to see the 160's after all of my pain and suffering, but I won't complain.  Just pray with me that my band is okay, it just needs to heal from the swelling.  I really don't think it was the fill that did it.  I know some fills kick in later....but this ONLY happened after I ate.   It wasn't feeling too tight earlier that day at all.   Pray with me!!
