My fill went great today. The needle prick hurt a little more than usual but I think it is because it has been 4 weeks since my last and I was use to going every 2 weeks. It is fine now though. I had been wondering why I was so hungry at 5.5 because I don't recall being this hungry back in Sept. when I was at 5.5 (before my ER Unfill). I talked to Corinne (my fill doctor), and she said that back in Sept. I weighed more and a fill feels different when you gain/loose weight, so I guess it makes sense as to why I don't feel the same this time around. So anyway, she said that because I've been so hungry and could eat an entire meal at a restaurant if I wanted to lol, she would give me .5cc. So I am up to 6cc now and am on liquids today, hopefully for once I can actually stand not to eat for an entire day. I usually do have something small even ont he day of my fill because I feel so sick from not eating that I just can't take it. I got like a good Starbucks drink in order to put something of substance in my tummy. Seems to be working so far! I will let you all know what I am feeling at 6cc in a couple days when I am back on normal foods. I have a little bad news though, well not really for any of you except for Kristen because she has the same fill doctor as me, but Corinne is leaving Lahey Clinic!!! It seems silly to be sad over my Nurse Practitioner leaving but she has been giving me my fills all along and has sort of been a cheerleader for me. Honestly we talk more about life when I see her verses the Lap Band. She got an amazing position offered to her at another Hospital and is leaving the beginning of February. I see her on February 3rd, right before she leaves and I really want to get her something in appreciation for this "new life" I feel that her and all the doctors have given me. Does anyone have an suggestions because I have no idea what to get for her?
Yay finally tomorrow is the day for my next adjustment I feel like I have been waiting forever for this! I have been fluctuating like crazy over the holidays and I have finally gotten myself back down to my 217lbs, thank you Jesus! I was feeling so gross and bloated. I have been eating small amounts every 2 hours starting at 8am and eating the last of my food for the day at 6pm. It seems to be working well for me and I am ranging anywhere from 1200-1600 calories. I seem not to be too starving because of this. Hopefully tomorrows fill will also help with the hungry horrors I am having. I have no idea how much of a fill to get, I am just going to tell the doctor how I am feeling and let her decided. I'm all about going slow now, but I also want to actually feel something. Right now I am still feeling absolutely nothing, like I have no band at all and this is frustrating. Ahh but at last I feel hope on the horizon, I love fills haha.
