3rd Fill

Nov 20, 2009

I went for my 3rd fill today. The doctor was planning on giving me 1cc, but after I let him know that I've been "starving" all week he decided to do 1.5cc. All week I've felt so hungry between meals and I'm able to eat about 2 cups of food at a meal. I try to eat just a little bit and wait a little while to see if the hunger subsides, but it doesn't. I'm still having trouble going to the bathroom and so he gave me a prescription for that. It seems I'm not losing much because of this. He recommended that I stay on a liquid diet for the whole weekend to be safe. If I feel stuck or unable to drink anything I should call and he'll come in for an emergency unfill. I don't think I'll need that though. (fingers crossed) I had about 4.75 cc in the band, so now I'm at about 6.25cc. We'll see how this plays out.

Now, about a month before my surgery I fell down my front porch stairs and messed up my back and SI Joint. This week that's been bothering me a lot and I haven't been able to be very active. I need to get moving again so that I can work this weight off. I know I was on the smaller side to begin with and I wont' see much of the dramatic loss that some people do, but I just want an avg 1-2 lbs a week at least.

I hope you all are doing well out there. Have a great Thanksgiving!!!
