My 1st Fill Experience

Hi everyone, I weight myself this morning before going to the doctore and I've lost 2 lbs. I weight 224 lbs. The same weight in the doctors office. yaah!!! I had a fill today and It was a task accessing the port. 1st of all it was a 20 gauge needle and long. I was not aware it was going to be that large; but I was warned last night by sweet Shelly. I heard her tell me that but I kinda brushed it off. I instantly remembered what she said when I seen those needles. 1st the Nurse Practioner attempted but was unsuccessful. Then the Doctor attempted several times until he got it. The initial stick, I didn't feel but the poking was uncomfortable. I already had 3cc in my port that I didn't know about from surgery then he added 2cc which was a total of 5cc. I tried to drink water and it wouldn't go down. It felt like like I had a knot in my throat. I'm sitting there saying to myself "It's just damn water why don't it go down" The doctor had to take 1cc out Dr. Cohen said it was too tight. Then I was able to swollow the water without any problems. That was my experience of the unknown for the 1st fill. Now I'm back to liquids for 2 days. Of course I'm sitting here typing eating sun flower seeds drink chicken and orange juice.

My Fruit Kick and 10cc Port

Hi everyone I have been on this fruit kick eating fruits like crazy. I guess fruits are better than fried foods, pizza, chips or sodas. I feel like I'm out of control. I still drink my crystal light and nothing else. I get a bottle of water to drink but I add a packet of crystal light in it. I've also been eating pickles and sunflower seeds. I know the salt contient is high but it keep me from eating other things. I still haven't had the urge to eat any Carbs which is a good thing. I just be glad when I go to the doctor and get my 1st fill which is Thursday 9/10/ 09. I know, I said I wasn't going to get on the scale until I go to the doctor. I couldn't resist so I did. I was affraid I was gaining weight again because of my eating benge. By my surprise, I didn't gain any weight. I am 226lbs. I'm still sad about the 3lb weight gain. But, I was running on empty with no food in my system. I received my permanant lapband card in the mail. I can order off the childrens menu if I go out to eat. I know I didn't tell you all but my port but I have a 10cc port. Well that's it for now, I have to get ready for work. Thanks for reading my blog. I know starting the end of next week my blog will be more interesting and the pictures will come. See you all later. Any questions you have please ask.

Have to make a Decision

Hi everyone, I have been analyzing what's been going on with me. I don't know if this is true but every since I got my grandkids I have stop losing weight. I have been off my exercise routine and I've started eating regular food. I also have to take into consideration that I don't have any restictions and my stomache have healed. Everything happened around the same time. I went for my follow up last month, I got the grandkids and I started eating regular foods. I haven't been eating the wrong foods just regular portions without feeling any restrictions. I go back to the doctor on 9/1o hopefully get my first fill. By the way I haven't gained any weight back besides the 3 pounds when I started eating I guess that's good. I've decided to take the kids back home. I'm not getting any sleep and it's not working out. I don't have anyone to watch them. I don't want them to go but I can't keep them. I guess I'll see what happens next week. I need to get back on a routine. Thanks for reading my post.
