Morning Everyone. The scale said 271. That can't be right, I'm sure it's wrong!! How many of us have said that???
Oh well, I had a great loss last week and it's the end result right??? Hope everyone has a good week.
JayTee. Love the new picture. I finally got mine uploaded.
Lili, Glad to here Lisa is doing better. Please keep us informed. Prayers still coming your way!!!
Found out today that I should have called the Dr's office the same day I had my first fill (5/21) to make my next appt for 6-8 weeks out. Well, now I have to wait until 8/20. Luckily, I don't have a hunger problem.
Question - Is a fill every 6-8 weeks for a year the norm???
Today is my first post on Friday Weigh In. This week I've lost 6.5 lbs. Woo Hoo. I'm finally able to walk without pain.
4/10 - 9 lbs,
4/17 - 1.5,
4/24 - 3,
5/1 - .5,
5/8 - 2,
5/15 - 1.5,
5/22 - 3,
5/29 - 0,
6/5 - 1,
6/12 - 6.5
I had my first fill on 5/21. When I asked how much he put in he said "alot". I asked again and he said it was unimportant. Asked why he wouldn't tell me and he finally said 4cc. He said it's like putting air in your tires, you don't usually know how much goes in, it's the end result that's important.
Thanks from me too. I haven't been posting because I've been so discouraged. I've gained 3 1/2 lbs since my first fill. I'm always under 1000 calories but always get my Protein.
Could my body be in starvation mode???? Since my fill, I have trouble eating solids.
Tish, I'm prone to hernias and knew I'd have more after surgery. I had such pain in the port after surgery, at the post op appt, we found that it wasn't actually the port that caused the pain, but a new hernia next to the port.
Are you my twin. (profile icon look familiar???) My first fill was this am too. I was empty and he put in 4cc. It took him about 15 pokes and manual manipulation to get it in. Because of the new hernia next to the port, it's sideways. I was in tears from the burn and pressure. He almost said uncle and then tried one more thing. Thank the Lord.
OMG are you freakin kidding me. I'm hoping my Dr. is as lax as usual. His office has given me such contradicting handouts I've been winging is for weeks.
JayTee, How did your fill go. We had surgery the same day and I go tomorrow for my first fill. I haven't been posting, because my weight loss is less than mentionable. I can't walk distances because of the "new" hernia, so exercise is minimal. Hopefully the Dr. will give me an answer about additional hernia surgery.
