Boo Boo Kitty's PS Journey

EbonyRose you sure have a way with words! My feelings about BBK's sharing too!

BBK....I no longer can claim TOM due to being a hystersister! LOL

I know I have had many issues going on and the gain is just a bump in the road...

So...I just have to look up! My doc puts you on THREE DAYS of Clear Liquids after a fill so I am sure that the 3 lbs are gone gone gone.....what was your doc's after a fill routine? Just curious??? I am doing fine here on day 2 so, 1 more to go...I'll be cleaned out that is for sure!!

Take care of yourself...how are you anyway????

I am doing better thanks. This hunger though, sucks. I am back to protien bars to fill me up. :crying:

My Dr does 1 day liquids, 2 days mushies and back to regular food. Not too bad. I usually have to take a few extra days of mushies. My body is very sensitive to fills.

That is interesting...I am DONE with liquids this time...mushies or food in the morning...although, I usually do a Protein Shake for breakfast.....an old habit which works with my schedule...

Protein Bars are good I just have to watch the carb count...I try and stay under 15 grams a bar or less. (after subtracting the fiber)

Well, I am glad you are hanging in there...I think I may have finally gotten some restriction...I'll keep my fingers crossed...

How are your scars doing? My port one is VERY ugly and still maroon or purple??

Am--scars are nasty, very purple. I hate them! :mellow: I was going to spend some dough and get some cream from the plastic surgeon but since he is going to have to completely revise me, what is the point? :tongue2:

Plain--it is better, thanks. :cool2: Doesn't hurt now unless I bump it!

Hey all

I wanted to share this picture I took yesterday with all of you. This is me now without any binders, Spanx any of that. As you can see with clothes the PS looks quite nice. :tongue2:

Thank you. I have to say that dress was so close to the body, I felt naked. BUT I pulled it off and then was happy I did it. DH zipped me in it that morning and I freaked and wanted it off. He wouldn't unzip it, so I had no choice. By the end of the day, I owned it! :lovechoc:

GREAT NEWS!

Hello all, well week 3 unfilled is OVER and week 4 is about to begin. Well I have not gained weight, in fact I have lost 2. :thumbup: My worries were unwarranted in that regard.

I also can call this week to schedule the fill to see if the slip has fixed itself.

But the post itself is now completely healed I believe. It sticks out only a small tiny bit now! WOOO HOOO! I can feel it and it is about the size of quarter or less. It no longer hurts to touch and the spot under the ribs where it came from has finally settled down as well. I am very happy with the new port itself. I guess we will really get to see how it functions when I get the fill.

I have been able to keep myself away from my demons, like Hostess King Dongs. I am so proud of myself. They have been on sale everywhere I go...rotfl.... :mellow: NONE for me! :wink_smile:

BBK: Congratulations! I hope that all is well with your band! Are they going to do your fill under floruscope? I had mine filled that way this week and it was great and btw my band is fine, too.

BBK: It's definetly worth it. They can see how your band is sitting and how it reacts to a fill, plus they can fill you to a better place because they can see the restriction. I hope it works out for you!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
