First fill/adjustment 21-9-2010

So yesterday I had my first adjustment. It was really scary to have someone touch my wounds after I have guarded them so fiercely. But all went well. She said my wounds were all healing well and that everything seemed good.

 

But the best part.... I thought I had lost 9.9kg/21.8lbs (according to my scales), BUT, when she weighed me it turns out I have lost 10.4kg/22.9lbs. I know it's not a huge difference but I was getting frustrated not being able to get over the 10kg mark, and it turns out I already was!

 

I also asked her about creams/lotions that would help with skin elasticity. I shower with a moisturising body milk exfoliater and use Palmers Cocoa Butter otherwise. She said that most people end up having to have the extra skin CUT OFF. The thought of another surgery.... :thumbup:. I don't really have any issues with skin yet, but I guess I have to become comfortable with the idea that I MAY require another surgery to deal with it at a later date. BUT, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

 

Anyhow, back on fluids for the next 5 days, and hopefully the weight-loss speeds up a little bit now.

 

Cheers.
