is moving again!!!!

i got a fill on thursday weighing 219 (well that was my lowest, i was fluctuating between 219-226) anyhow i dont count a gain unless its more than 5 lbs. (ok 6 )

they added .3 cc's bringing my fill level to 3.7 cc's i left the office wondering if i had restriction as i was able to pretty effortlessly kill a bottle of Water.

Anyhow...I AM RESTRICTED!!! more so than i EVER have been.

i am really tight in the morning hot liquids go down slowly but cool ones dont at all, they just sit in pouchy.

i ate some snackage saturday night right before bed. BIG MISTAKE...tight chest feeling doesnt let you relax enough for sleep. last night i made a choice not to eat 4 hours before bed time to avoid food in my pouch when i am sleeping. new thing for me i used to could eat at bedtime if i wanted

meats well i think i am tight enough that i may have to cut some out, i brought homade beef stoganoff (YES i cooked it!) for lunch today... i pb'd :sick...i think it was a tiny bit of beef. i also cut the beef in tiny chunks before cooking...i THOUGHT i chewed good enough

ok and heres the BIG ONE!!!!!

i am down 3 pounds since thursday from my lowest post op wieght!!!! i am now 216!!!!!!!

only 16 lbs from my original goal and 26 lbs from my new goal!

LOVE YA'LL!!!!!!

Congratulations on being so close to goal, Michelle. Man, if I was that restricted, I'd think there was something wrong for sure. You are certainly a veteran bandster. Hope this fill does the trick for you. It looks like it is! :Bunny

Looks like that Damn scale is moving in the right direction!

Way to go! You will be at goal in no time the way you are having restriction..

Congrats!

luckily i think i pb'd from my error! i had almost finished eatin when the phone rang, someone was at the office and i decided to go on take another bite. CRAZY!!! i need to concentrate on my chewing till i get used to this fill!

i have successfully been able to eat chicken breast, bacon, and some steak. ohhh and Pasta and bread i had some of that too.

michelle

WOW that damn scale is really being nice to me!! i weighed in this AM at 214!!!!!!

on june 2 i made a post that i was 225 from THEN till LAST WEEK (4 months!!!) i fluctuated from 226-219. i think that qualifies as a plateu! that sucker is BUSTED now!

Wow, you are really on a roll! Congratulations!

Nancy

Wow!!! At this rate you'll be in onederland in no time!!! Congrats!

CONGRATS!!! Your scale needs to talk to my scale

michelle

MIchelle who did you go see for the plastics consult? I might want to store that info away for future reference. Thanks.

hey penni!

i went to dr shack he is the head of plastic surgery at vanderbilt. his # is 615-322-2350.

he was very nice and proffessional he took the time to answer ALL my questions. lol i get to start calling my ins co in a week and bugging them. i really hope my stomach is approved. the dr said no way it has to hang below the 'sunshine' and the lady who handles ins. approvals said she thought it would be approved. i am going with her answer because i like it better! we'll see!

Thanks Michelle: Good luck with the insurance issues. Keep us posted.
