First Stuck
· LuuLuu · 06/22/2010 16:31
So - for a split second I forgot I had a new belly and shoved a piece of deli ham in my mouth. Chewed about 2 times and swallowed as I hurried to do something. Then I remembered and was like, "noooooooo!" Even asked hubby to reach down and pull it out!!
OMG. I thought my stomach was going to rip thru my chest like an alien. The pain was excruciating and the retching was horrible.
After about 30 min I made it onto chat and Crimmy and the folks told me to walk, jump up and down, and put my arms in the air. So I did - around the block. Neighbors were LOVING that I am sure.
But it worked!! I am still alive and no ham came UP so I am assuming it went DOWN. I am told to have pineapple juice and papaya enzyme on hand for next time.
PLEASE don't let there be a next time!!
Thanks everyone!!

First Fill
· LuuLuu · 06/11/2010 01:55
First fill at my first follow up. Easy Schmeasy. Although, I am glad my port incision is still numb because if I had had to FEEL what I SAW out of the corner of my eye I would have passed out. lol
So, down 37lbs from when this all started last fall.

· LuuLuu · 02/26/2010 16:04

There is just no reason.

Hehe - here is my belly 1mo post-op and 1 day post-fill. There are 7 cuts.
As an extra bonus, you get to see the elastic marks from my bra and jeans. And NO - my left boob is NOT purple/bruised...just must be the lighting.
Not too shabby huh?? I show them off like battle scars to anyone that will look. Dr. asked me if I'd come to support group and show them - SUUURRREEE!
