Two steps forward - one back

Its been a long time since my last entry so we have a lot of catching up to do. After my last fill nothing really happened except work became a lot quiter and I had a shitfight with a dickhead at work. So I ate. We then went on holiday.... so I ate some more. I went back up to 104 before my next fill which was last week. Needless to say the doctor was disapointed but I told her that I could easily eat a 3 course meal. She gave me another .6ml bringing me to 3.1 ml and asked me to drink some water. I drank it without any trouble at all and she said that it is unusal for someone with as much fill as I now have. She concluded that I must have a small stomoch (you wouldn't know it) and/or my stomach wall is thinner than the average resulting in the band not giving me the expected restriction. The solution was to be a bit more agressive with the fills. I have to go back in 2 weeks for a another go.

 

Since the fill I have noticed quite a bit more restriction. The first couple of meals after the fill I had to bring some food up. The message is clearly that I need to slow down. I now think I know why people say they can no longer eat certain food like bread. Up until this week I have not had trouble with any food really.

 

Anyway, the day after the fill I had a god almightly migrane and ended up in hospital. I didnt realise that the band would virtually stop me from vomiting. It was very stressful not being able to bring anything up. For the next two days I felt sick and even more restricted which I guess was from the swelling from the vomiting.

 

I have just taken some measurments:

Weight 100.9kg

bust: 112cm

waist: 105cm

Hip: 129

I'm so thrilled to see you back - it sure has been a LONG time since I read a post in your journal :welldoneclap:

So sorry about the migraine -- I can't imagine - I get them on rare occasions and just fought one for 7 days two weeks ago -- and I'm not banded --

Interesting about the fill - in your picture you look 'tiny' statured?! Maybe you do have a tiny stomach so it is great your doctor is working with you on those fills - PBs are so not fun from what I read - so I'm sure you hated those moments --- why does the band keep you from vomiting? Because your stomach is so restricted?
