This is new

I received a fill in July of this year. I had not received one since November of 2007. (That's when I thought I was a know it all and could do it myself. I was losing weight and didn't need support - of any kind)

Boy I was I wrong. I had dropped 30 pounds in 2007 since my surgery in July of 2006, but when I decided to get my a$$ together I was 10 heavier. In April of 2009 you could say I was reborn. I decided that I did need help—OF ANY KIND! I started searching the web, keeping a food journal, joined a support group and went to see my doctor (for the first time since 11/07).

I rec’d a fill in July, the doc and I thought there was only 7cc in but we soon found out I had 8cc. He added only .5cc but it was enough. It took a good 2 weeks before I could really feel the restrictions.

I’ve always been tight in the morning but now it’s a bit more. I drink before I eat to help loosen things up. I can only eat half of what I used to in the morning and I’m hungry w/in an hour.

This is new; Yesterday I became concerned while trying to eat my lunch:

[/b]:%20void(0);"]Mission Tortillas - Yellow Corn Tortillas - Super Size (Approx 6.5"), 1 tortilla

[/b]:%20void(0);"]Cheese - Cheddar, 0.5 oz

[/b]:%20void(0);"]Lettuce - Iceberg (includes crisphead types), raw, 0.5 leaf outer

[/b]:%20void(0);"]Sun Vista - Black Beans -- No Salt Added, 0.025 cup

[/b]:%20void(0);"]Taco Bell - Taco Sauce - Medium, 1 tbsp

I started having heart palpitations after having 3 bits. I put my hand on my chest and could feel it move. It didn’t last long but boy is was scary. I waited a few minutes and it stopped and I was able to finish my taco.

I had another taco for dinner and didn’t have any problems.

I get stuck more often now I’ve noticed too. I need to remember to chew, chew, chew.

Wow I had that happen, twice. I found I had to wait a good seven minutes before I took another bite. I am wondering if it is a muscle thing? I just need extra time in between swallows. I even chewed even more. If it happens again I am calling my doctor that is for sure. It is scary huh!!! imaluckydog

I was okay today. I didn't have any problems but I tell you I sure was waiting for it. I chewed it all up and ate slowly today too.

I see my doctor on the 15 next month, I'll ask him about it.
