Just realised I haven' t updated since my last entry, so I probably should do that.
9.30pm the same night of my last post, I ended up calling my doctor after hours to meet her at the hospital so she could take out half of the last fill she put in.. So instead of having 1ml extra, I have 0.5ml extra.
(tmi) Basically my saliva wasn't even going down, let alone water or food. I ended in horrendous pain, bringing up the saliva I've swalled every 20mins or so because it was completely shut.. the pressure was unbearable.
had 0.5ml taken out - Instant relief! The next day was even better.
I have been wondering if she took out more, but she did show me the syringe... and well, I guess I was more focused on the pain I was having rather than looking.. but that's only because I've felt like I am looser than I was before my second fill.
That being said.. the last two or so days, I've kind of tuned in and realised that I'm feeling a different feeling. Not getting food stuck more, but just all food I eat is going down soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slowly.
It's great, don't get me wrong.. but it's just so hard to adjust to.
Aaron took me out for dinner last night. First restaurant meal since my first fills - I barely ate any of it. I felt horrible, because he splashed bought me a lobster! First time I've tried it... and not only did I not particularly like it (just not my thing) I barely ate any of it, and it was so darn expensive! Lucky it wasn't massive, although I did ask beforehand whether something could be taken home). He finished half of it off for me, and the rest just stayed there after I was done (so I had half a tail?) ......thenihadicecreambutthatsnaughtyandishouldntreallytellyoubutididpleasedonttsktskmeeeeeeeee. :D
When I mean I'm hardly eating anything.. I mean hardly ANYTHING! No way near a cup, like they say you should have (max).. I'm talking like... 1/4 of a cup, sometimes if I'm REALLY lucky, maybe 1/3 of a cup. Depends what type of food it is as well. Pasta type foods I can eat a bit more of, then again it depends if I'm doing something at the same time (like lunch break at work I read websites etc). The more distracted I get, the more I eat, because I settle and then go back, settle and then go back.. whereas if I concentrate on my food.. once I get THAT feeling, I usually pick a little and then stop.
Rambling, sorry!
I haven't had the guts to get on the scales yet. 1 week since the fill/weigh in.. I'm thinking maybe I should wait until I see my surgeon next in 1 month until I weigh in again.. but I don't know if I can hold off that long. I'm pessimistic as all hell, but I'm just so curious!

Oh that sounds horrible. I hope you are feeling much better. I have trouble eating most things now unless it is very slowly and chew a lot. I haven't been eating much either. Don't like the pain, and it takes so long to eat I just couln't be bothered. LOL. I dropped 1.5kg this week, I just hope it keeps dropping now. But might stall again once it loosens up.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhh yes... don't i know EXACTLY what you are talking about!! Glad you're losing, and what a nice figure. I'm still too scared to look :( lol
ReplyDeleteBut yes, SO can't be bothered. I usually give up after a couple of mouthfuls... if you could even call them mouthfuls.. bites more like it!
