So, here's an update beings that I'm a slacker. I went for my post-op appointment and had lost 6lbs. He told me he wouldn't tighten my band. We then argued and of course he won. Doctors!! SMH!! I had to wait a month before I could make another appointment. This is when I stopped writing on here. I was pissed and discouraged at myself. I was gaining weight and thought, wow...is this really going to work for me?? Of course the day I went back, I had actually lost weight. I was kinda upset because I thought he wouldn't fill me again. I tried not to pee before my appointment so I would weigh more...hahaha...it didn't work. I went back on Nov 1st and had only lost 4lbs. He responds, "That's all?" Well yes, that's all because I told you the last time I could eat way too much!
Nov 1st was my first fill. Interesting to find out that my port is somewhat in between my boobs and no where close to where I thought it was. I must say, it did hurt a lot more than I thought it would and was kind of sore after. Lesson learned...don't get filled on a day that you have to work. I could only eat clears until the next day...I gave in that night and ate a small meal. Boy did I regret it. I was so gassy that I thought I was going to die. Seriously painful and to make matters worse was at work where I couldn't let it out...haha!
Since then, I've lost 6 more lbs. I'm happy with 6lbs in almost a month and hope that it continues at this rate. I've noticed that it's harder for me to eat first thing when I wake up. I have to eat very slow and chew chew chew or I feel like I might throw up. I'm still able to eat just about anything without any problems. So far I love it and would do it all again in a heart beat...even with the ups and downs.
