Feb 28 204 lbs

Tuesday

204 lbs!!! I am officially down 25 lbs in 16 weeks! I had a nightmare of a fill on Saturday. Done under flouroscopy my fill doc (who will remain un-named) supposedly added .4 to bring me to 1.9ccs. I swallowed water fine but by the time I got home I was completely shut and spitting up slime and foam. By sunday I was desperate and in pain. I called Dr. Sanchez and he met me Monday and when they (he and Dr. Susanah both met me) drew out fluid I was filled to 2.4 ccs. That fill doc had put me from 1.5ccs to 2.4 ccs and it just slammed me shut. I am so upset and will never go back to that fill doc again. I went 48 hours without a bite to eat or a sip of water. I was in worse pain than I was post op. How the hell could he make a mistake like that? I know I swell after fills, I was swollen shut after surgery requiring an extra night in hospital, and I let fill guy know that I wanted to take a conservative approach on fills. He read my charts before flouro.... I went from 1.0 to 1.3 to 1.5 and had wanted to go to only 1.7ccs this time. He said that he wanted to add .4 and take me to 1.9.....but I had 2.4ccs in my band. I absolutely love Drs. Sanchez and Susanah for driving 3 hours to meet me and do an unfill!!!!!and they didnt charge me a penny! I just dont understand how my fill doc could make such a mistake....needless to say I will never go back to him. I am now at 2.1 and taking off .3ccs was instant relief. It felt so good to drink that cup of water that I dont even mind being on liquids for a few days.

b..... oatmeal with some flaxseed

l......Cream of chicken soup

d.....chicken with mushrooms and some sauteed zuchinni with squash

I had no issues at all with breakfast or lunch and went for a normal supper and had no problems. I guess the liquids and mushies arent as necessary after an unfill.
