One Year Anniversary Is Realllllly Close!!!

May 08, 2009

Well, my 1st year anniversary is around the bend.  I don't feel much differently than my last blog entry from March so I don't have very much to say.  I do have a couple of updates.   I had a wonderful trip to Aruba.  I do wish I was thinner for my bathing suit and shorts/short sleeves.....well that is water under the bridge now.  I had an appt with my surgeon April 9th, after my vacation and I gained 2lbs from my previous weight.  He finally did a 1cc fill.  I don't understand what the hold up was all along.  For the last several fills (actually all of them minus my very first one) were all 0.5cc fills.  I feel he just was dragging this fill thing out.  There was no good reason to keeping those fills to 0.5cc except I would be in his office twice as many times getting to restriction... cha ching...  I believe it to be true since I've lived it.  I felt that all along.  I put a lot of trust into my surgeon and I'm not sure that he was truely working in my best behalf.  The good news is, I feel nice and tight and I think I am on the road to weight loss now.  One thing I noticed is I am truely hungry all of the time.  My stomach is constantly growling.  Not sure if that is the response to finally eating less than usual or some other sort of response.  I do have the urge to snack, snack, snack because of that.  I want to also state that I don't get any feeling of fullness when eating.  Sometimes I feel "stuck" after something small or after just a few bites of something.  Sometimes I am able to eat more normal and just stop because I know I should.  I seem to "slime" or get stuck daily and it is very annoying.  I am getting better at unstucking myself but it is not always predictable.  I am beginning to completely avoid my sticky foods... bready stuff mostly but dry chicken or turkey would be examples of others.  Things that go smoothly for me are cereals,  salads, soups, cookies and ice cream (love the last 2).  Well see how things turn out!!!  I am exercising but not as much as I should.  I think I've lost 2-3 pounds in the last 2-3 weeks.  I will try to remember to post on my actual anniversary.
