Not very pleased with myself right now...I had to call my hospital this morning and go in for an un-fill :(
Last Monday I got a small fill of .2, as some of you might recall I wasn't sure if I needed this or not, but since appointments are so hard to get, I decided to go in and get a small fill while I could. As of last Monday, all I had basically eaten was soup and ice cream (not good choices!) This morning, I brought some oatmeal for breakfast, and got stuck! I decided enough was enough, and this wasn't getting any better, so I called and they got me right in. When I got there I was up 1lb, from a week ago....not to bad considering I ate ice cream everyday lol. She offered to take out .1 or .2 it was up to me. I decided to take out the whole .2 since I figured my tummy was probably pretty mad at me. The n.p had me lay there for a good half hour sipping on water to make sure that she took enough out and I was going to be OK. I feel good now, and am happy I went in.
I just want to make sure I let everyone know....what I did was BAD! I should have known better, that I was already feeling tight, and just because I had an appointments in the books it didn't mean I had to get a fill! I know this is a giant learning experience, but I need to learn to listen to my body, and realize when things don't feel right.
Good to know. Thanks, I appreciate you sharing because I will listen! Hope you can eat today... :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to judge if we will be to tight or not. Glad they were able to fit you in! And hoping you are able to enjoy dinner tonight
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't have to go too long being so tight!
ReplyDeleteI have said this before, but I think we all have to experience being greedy with our fills just once! And then we learn are lesson! I am glad you didnt wait any longer.
ReplyDeleteMan...now I want ice cream!
Kristen,
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better and that your NP was able to get your in so quickly. I may be in the same boat myself. I had a fill on Wednesday (1 cc) and am having some stuckage issues myself.

PS: Just an FYI, I never did get the clothes that you were going to send. It's okay if you didn't get them sent. Just didn't want you to think that I was being rude by not saying "Thanks" for the clothes. Make sense? LOL
Glad you are feeling better!! Hope this helps and gets you back to feeling good about your restriction! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAs a newbie, it's weird to read about how such a teeny amount makes such a big difference. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Kristen. I'm not banded yet but will be in a week and its the stuff I read here that will help me get through! I hope you are feeling better already.
ReplyDeleteThis was a totally helpful post! Thanks for sharing!

I'm totally with you! I had to have an unfill as well. I did get some if it put back in today.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that you are feeling better now after the unfill. Sometimes we just get too ahead of ourselves, no biggie. <3
ReplyDeleteWe've all been there - it's so tempting to ride it out. I'm glad you got in and got some relief!
ReplyDeleteAw, sorry Kristin! That sucks! I feel like my fill progression has been so perfect so far...just waiting for the one that puts me over the edge!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better!
Hi Kristin,
ReplyDeleteI just read your blog from beginning to end. In between the laughing, crying and cheering I got to thinking about my own journey. I'm scheduled for my lap band in August and praying I will have at the very least a successful journey such as yours. Please keep updating and I wish you much success. Genise :)
