The Fill Kicked in...

Recommended Posts

I had my fill a couple of weeks ago and I thought I felt it. Dr. Rodriguez said I was swollen so he put in 2cc instead of the 4 he planned. Boy am I glad that he did.

Today I was out to lunch with my co workers at Wendy's and I ordered the kid's meal. cheese burger and manderine oranges (I love that they do that now instead of fries you have a choice) and I have forced myself to eat slowly (finally) but I could not get it down.

Two bites and I was through. I waited and waited and I knew if I took another bite up it would come.

But I wasn't hungry anyway so I stopped. Later in the day I went out to eat with my husband and I was still full. I left most of my dinner (he ate it for me) but then after working out I went to Cosco because I had this overwhelming thirst.

I bought 2 flats of propel and could hardly wait until bought them and then downed one right in the store. Thank goodness I had on my workout gear... so people could tell why I was thirsty but I think I looked a little nuts anyways.:) By the time I drove home I had drank at least three bottles. ( I know I will be up all night tonight peeing) Not hungry but thirsty... Has anyone experienced this? Maybe it's the heat...It was a scorcher here in the Inland empire today.

Bettie the knee is feeling better but I am annoyed with Kasier. I have asked for an apt. it seems like ages ago and I think because my knee guru left:( no one seems to have time. I have been taking the Glucosimine and Calcium, and now the swelling is managable. So I am not complaning:cool:

Really paula? I am glad to see that I am not alone. It is soooooo hard not to drink and eat together or to wait the appropriate amount. I was in my classroom and I had eaten somthing small like a muffin and later I drank not even a good gulp of my Water and pb all over the floor. My students thought it was hilarious because by coencidence I had just read the story earlier that week of My Little sister ate one Hare. A story about throwing up heathy things!:)

Oh, Rica, why didn't I ever have neat teachers like you? LOL I love your story and then your acting it out! Now that's dedication!

But on the subject of thirst, I'm always thirsty. I usually carry a bottle of Water in my purse every where I go. If I forget it, it's like I left part of me at home. It's become a fixed appendage. I try to "never leave home without it".:)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
