So, this last 2 weeks since my last fill became torture...ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS EAT! AND YES, I WAS HUNGRY! :tongue2: This last week was riddled with failures. I ate half of a steak house burger and fries for lunch one day and that wasn't the only time I fell off the wagon, but on this day I decided this is a bunch of crap after I feed my emotions with half of a snickers bar! HOW FOOLISH I HAVE BEEN! :frown: Lucky for me my doctor is the best! They scheduled me for my first day off that I could get there. Went in today and the PA did my fill which scared me. Dr. K is so good at it that I was afraid he would hurt me. It did hurt more going in, but as you see I survived it :smile: He added 1.4 cc's, and I think this time I definitely feel some "real" restriction. :wub: I kept my July 1st appt. just in case I feel like I need more. When he added 1.5cc's I could feel the water he had me drink nearly stop in my throat and felt the funnel effect, so then at 1.3cc's it went down every easily so 1.4cc's it is! This was the first time of any of my fills that I felt the slowing/stopping feeling. I liked feeling this because now I feel like i finally got a really effective fill. oh well, we'll see! The nurse said i now have 7cc's in total. I hope this does the trick. I want those ICKY hungry, cravings feelings to stop for good!:thumbup: BTW, I weighed in at 177. I was happy to hear I lost 5 pounds from the last fill but it definitey WAS NOT from eating right. When i messed up, like with the hamburger and the snickers I took an Alli pill with them, helps keep your body from absorbing all the fat. (I used this successfully before surgery on 2 different occassions to lose weight, but of course you stop, you gain it back) I worked my butt off at the gym to try and make up for the food failures. Looks like it worked, but I can't and won't continue on like this! Family reunion is coming up on July 22nd my goal weight for the reunion is 169...will I reach it???! I'll keep you posted! :smile:
