Week 20 Post-Op....Setback...Sigh!
This week brought on a new challenge! Had to have 1cc removed from my band. So now I am back to 4.9cc's in my 10cc band. My sweet spot is 5.9cc and I have established that pretty early. I am one of the lucky ones who don't really need too much in my band.
Well...here we go.
On Friday I had a Real Estate seminar I had to attend. It started at 9am and ended at 1pm. They served breakfast and I knew they had some things that were on my approved list. So I grabbed some soft scrambled eggs, a small piece of melon and a small piece of sausage.
There were people who have not seen me in over a year so many were shocked to see me 75lbs lighter. I was quite the buzz, I might say...giggle.:wub:
Well, I sat down, started to eat, chewed and chewed and chewed then BAM! I took a small bite of sausage, someone walked up behind me and said...OMG LAURA IS THAT YOU? It startled me and so immediately I swallowed!!!!!!!! HUGE HUGE MISTAKE!
I knew when that bite went down I was doomed. I had not chewed that bite at all.
So as the seminar went on I got sick, sicker then OMG :ohmy: I was throwing up every 15 minutes...just slime.
After the seminar I called my doctor immediately and they had me come in. At every single stoplight I prayed it would turn red so I could lean my head out the door and toss my cookies! Oh...and the pain...it was horrible and hurt so bad. I was praying, crying, driving and throwing up.:confused:
So I walked into the doctors office and they did not wait...I was ushered into a room and they unfilled me immediately. OH WHAT A RELIEF! Thank God!
So now, they want me to to stay at my 4.9cc's until two more weeks because I was throwing up so much I had to have irritated my tummy!
Five more pounds and I will be 200lbs. I can almost taste it, but with the unfill I don't have much restriction. :mad2: I may be able to keep my portions in check but I dread feeling hungry between meals. So I am a bit sad.:sad:
I know in the scheme of things this is not a HUGE issue but being so close to onederland/underland is so exciting and I did not want to slow this down.
So right now....liquids for another day then soft foods for three days, then a refill in two weeks. *SIGH*
I have to say....if I had to choose between losing slower and being stuck...well I'd take the losing slower.
Thank GOD that is over. I wish that on nobody!
So there is my crazy story! Until next time.
