Feb. 8th

I slept last night for a few hours and each time I woke up to go pee..

I was able to stop by the fridge and have some gupls of grape juice.

Plus this morning arouns 7am when i got up, I have been able to gulp two cups of chocolate milk so far.

OBVIOUSLY that Shot really really opened me up. Even before my last fill, before this fill and before my menstation.. I COULD NOT DO THAT EVER upon waking or in the middle of the night upon waking.

This is a good thing, by the time it wears off, I will be off my period. (I didnt bleed all night but I had hella cramps, it should be all over by today)

It has ran accross my mind that my stomach 'unswelled' SO much that my band has slipped oFF.. BUt that doesnt seem possible or realistic.. BUT its still a scare when I am sitting here able to eat.. I just know if I try to have some soup (chunky kind) It will go down.

IF I dont restrcit back within this day.. I am going to be real worried.

I am NOT taking any extra prednisone like he prescribed me to do when I opened up.. The shot is ENOUGH!

When I tighten back up.. What I am gonna do is take the prednisone at night starting at 40 ml, (he gave me 60mg a day to take) (I already have took 20 ml plenty of times (for my back, when I have plans to go out) and it never made a difference.

I will see if this helps with morning restriction.. and If it does, and the side effects arent horrible.. I will go in for another fill. I will test this for atleast a month.

I DONT know though, IF my primary care doctor will support 60 miligrams a day.. OR 60 everyother day.. OR whatever dose I find is good.

HE only gives me 5mg a day, but thats cuz I was over 400 pounds and I had diabeties..

MAYBE my diabeties is better (GOTTA get the lab done,) DOUBT IT.

But I have lost like 70 pounds or more and HE did prescribe me more prednisone to go on my weekend date last month..

If not, maybe I can continue to get it from that Urgent care Doctor.

I PROMISE to monitor my blood sugars!!!! I guess it can make you suseptible to infection. IF I do this right, I will be in control of my weight loss. Right now, thats all I can do.
