Just An Update

Jul 27, 2010

I thought I would come and give an update to my fill.  I was on liquids for 48 hours.  I went out of town on Sunday, and driving down to our destination was the first that I ate solid foods.  It wasn't too solid, actually a slider, but I shared a bag of Cheetos with my sweetie. ha ha  They went down just fine (of course).  We got to a small town and stopped to have lunch.  We got some chicken strips and fries.  I was only able to eat about 2 chicken strips.  I got full, but not hurting full.  I stopped eating and was okay.  We got to our cabin, got checked in and relaxed a bit.  I had my leftover chicken strips with me and ate another one. 

I took a shower and had some wine.  We went to the restaurant where we had reservations.  I ordered prime rib with soup.  The soup was more of a mashed bean, thick liquid, which was really good and went down just fine.  The prime rib arrived and I was able to eat about 8 or so bites.  They were small bites.  I also had a very small piece of bread.  It all went down fine, but at that point with the meat I knew that I had better stop. So, I knew then that my restriction was tighter......just not what it SHOULD be. 

Yesterday morning I had some scrambled eggs and bacon.  At dinner I had some ground beef and refried beans, probably about 3/4 to 1 full cup.  I was good with that.  I did have some chips and salsa before that, although not too many. 

Today, I had a protein shake for breakfast.  I was very hungry by 11am.  I heated up a frozen dinner sort of like a Lean Cuisine and at the chicken out of it.   I had just a few bites of the pasta.  I could feel the chickn hanging in the pouch area, not stuck, just hanging in there.  I was still hungry though.   Weird sensation.  I knew I had stop eating, but I was literally still hungry, just not head hunger.  A friend of mine went to Costco and she brought me back a chicken bake.  I was able to eat about 1/4 of it....bread and all.  So, I know my restriction is not the best, but it is still better than it was. 

If I can stick to mainly proteins and good foods., I could lose some weight.  My next appointment is September 16th.....so I have over 7 weeks before I can get any more saline.  UGH.  I will do my best!!
