Fill #11 was a No Go!

I went for fill #11 yesterday. I thought I would walk away very tight, not. You see, about 4 or 5 days out of the month, I have the perfect restriction. I finally figured out that this perfect restriction is when I'm ovulating and on my monthly. The rest of the month, I'm open. So anyhow, yesterday, I woke up, TIGHT. Not too tight, but tight enough that I had to sip on my coffee. So I went to get my fill and I told my doc that I would be leaving on my cruise on Friday.

 

Well, since I was leaving on Friday, and since I had good restriction, he would not fill me! He said he felt that if he filled me I might get too tight and I would be in the middle of the ocean with no doc around to unfill me and I might be sick my entire cruise. He thought I would enjoy the cruise more just the fill level that I was. So I left the office being restricted, but no fill. By yesterday afternoon I was wide open again. grrrrr. I am so frustrated.

 

He did tell me as soon as I get back from the cruise he will get me in and I don't have to have an appointment and he will get me a fill. He aslo gave me some appetite supresants for the cruise so I don't gain a bunch of weight.

 

So, fill #11 was a no go for me. shucks! I'm to the point now that it is just going to take a few drops to get me to a good restriction level, and I'm sure during my ovulation time and monthly I will be extremely tight once I get my fill and I might even have to be on liquids during that time.

 

Well, I'm off to the Eastern Carribean tomorrow, Its about a 22 hour drive to Florida - there are 20 of my family members going. We're going to have a great time I'm sure.

 

Here is my itinerary:

Sunday, June 29, 2008 Miami, Florida--

Monday, June 30, 2008 Nassau, Bahamas

Tuesday, July 1, 2008 Fun Day At Sea-

Wednesday, July 2, 2008 St. Thomas, U.s.

Thursday, July 3, 2008 St. Maarten

Friday, July 4, 2008 Fun Day At Sea--

Saturday, July 5, 2008Fun Day At Sea--

Sunday, July 6, 2008 Miami, Florida

 

I'm so ready to get away from here, I am going to try and focus on relaxation and having a great time and not worry too much about my weight!

Have a super time. I did the Eastern last year and it was truly beautiful.

Just remember to check the dance floor for slippery stuff.

Appetite suppressants? what did he give you?

He gave me "i think they are called" Adapex? 37.5 mg. I haven't went to the pharmacy to get the perscription filled yet.

Thanks for the tip of staying off the slippery dance floor. I'll make sure I do that this time. lol

i had those adapex diet pills- NO appetite at all in the beginning, will force you to drink more fluids from the severe, extreme dry mouth. after getting off of them because they spiked my blood pressure i ate RAVENOUSLY. hopefully they will not have the same effect. good luck with those...
