Been awhile since I got on here. To catch up, I am down some 24 pds! I have had a couple of PB's. :cursing:
On Tuesday I got my first fill. Not more than a poke; and it was done. Drank the barium and they were able to tell it all went down well and I was out of there after a glass of water. I felt the tightening as she injected the saline. I thought, oh GOOD, I will once again lose my hunger like the first 3 weeks. HMMMM....but that didn't happen. Yes my food intake is somewhat controled, BUT I am getting hungry. Hungry like before the band. With the stomach gurgling and lightheaded. What's up with that? I have been so hopeful! And ...my port or what ever it is that they inject the needle in is (after two days) swollen, sore and poking out. Is that normal? I sound like I am complaining...really I am not...but I spent my own money on this...Insurance didn't cover a dime of it. My husband is like what is up with you being hungry after we just spent 15K for you NOT to be hungry like before. :cursing:
I know I can not eat like I ate before, thank GOD! But, on the doctors websites and some people on here boast (and rightful so..if it works for you that is AWESOME! Boast and boast some more...I am sure I will be there sooner than later! please God. :cursing:) of losing 80 + pds in 4 months. I just feel like I am missing something or do something wrong....I had a bmi of 42 when I started
this some 40 days ago.
I went to the nutrisionist on Tuesday right before my first fill. She had me breath into this machine to measure my metabolism. She said it was right where it needed to be and suggested I put my servings of protein and produce on a saucer for each meal. Does any one else adhere to this type of disipline and structure? She said no starch either. ? Can that be? :cursing:
I know a lot of questions and I am praying some of you bansters out there will help me out! PLEASE HELP! :cursing: Thanks K
