22 mos

Jul 23, 2009

07/23/2009 - I'm late posting this month. This past month has been a doozy. I had a UTI infection from hell, gave into the pressure of my family and friends and had some of my fill taken out, was increasingly hungry and had to have more put back in, etc. UTI infection was pretty bad. I ended up having to have IV fluids because I was so dehydrated. The whole thing was a nightmare for about a week. I hate being sick and have no patience for myself when I am. The unfill was a huge mistake I think. I was feeling okay but my mom calling me and telling me I was going to end up like Karen Carpenter or collapsing like Courtney Love was becoming irritating. Not to mention all the other comments from friends/family about how I don't eat enough to maintain my weight and that if I lost anymore I was going to start looking bad. It's been a pretty consistant theme for the last couple of months so I gave into the pressure and asked my dr to take some out. That was a mistake! I've woken up hungry for the past week, was able to eat bread.....bread for goodness sake! All my dr took out was 1.cc and it made all the difference in the world. I was dieting once again. Luckily I did not gain but I wasn't exactly comfortable either. Went back to the dr and he put .5cc back in. So know I have a bit more restriction. I'm going to see where this leads me. I don't really want to loose anymore but I don't want to gain either. Gaining terrifies me.....I'm not talking about 2-3 fluctuating pounds but the steady increase of poundage. I'll have to wait to see what this restriction level brings.
