A blessing in disguise...

I was so bummed a couple of days ago when my surgeon's office called to say that they had to postpone my fill from this Friday to next Wednesday. I would've been getting my fill right NOW, but I am so glad right now that I'm not. I woke up this morning w/terrible cramps and sooooo bloated. Yep, my TOM is here w/a vengeance. I can't even get my rings off if I wanted to.

 

I've heard that water retention and bloat like this can make your band feel tighter so I am so glad I am not getting my first fill right now. And, I usually only have PMS type symptoms the first day or two so I should be totally back to normal by Wednesday for sure. :thumbup:

funny you should say that. I got my fill on the 21st...expecting that TOM to arrive any second. i am eating mushies for the next few days and right now i feel like a balloon!! no way cold i take off my rings.

I only got 1.5 CC, so in total i have 4.5CC... i hope this gets me closer to my "sweet spot".

My next fill is no 2 months... my goal is to loose 8lbs by then....trying to keep it real
