So I went for my fill this morning, and I told her that I am averaging 2.5 hours between meals and having no problems tolerating anything - I could basically swallow half a steak and never know I did it. Then I got the lecture about how I'm not supposed to FEEL restriction, it's about satiety and if I can feel it, then I'm too tight, and I'm all "no worries", and then she asks me if I'm eating more than a cup of food at a time, which I truthfully tell her I am, and then she tells me to not to. So I say ok. Then she says "oh you live in ... ?" and I say yes I do, and she says "ok, well then I'll give you .4. I was only going to give you .3 but since you're close, I'll give you .4 but you have to COME IN if you're too tight, which I solomnly swore that I would. But it made me secretly go yay, because maybe that means she thinks I'm super close to sweet spotness. Which I really hope I am. However, she also very sweetly told me that the big thing is that I have not gained. Woohoo. And that's that.
So I just ate (drank) a Tim Horton's large coffee and then I had a cup (yes...a CUP) of Tom Yum soup, broth only. So we'll see what happens...
I hope this one gets you to your sweet spotness Gilly! :) My Dr. always asked me the same question.."Are you eating more than a cup of food?" Answer: "Yep" Reply: "Don't" Answer: "Oh, um...Sure..yeah, yeah OK" Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteTill you hit the 'sweet spot' it's next to impossible. I'm glad you are not hungry though - that's great! 2.5 hrs. is pretty great.
Here's hoping this is 'the one.'
What did you think of the jeans? I hope I did the forms right and you didn't have to pay a billion dollars in custom taxes. I mean they were free, used jeans. C'mon!!
I hope this gets you to your sweet spot. That's awesome that she gave you just a little more.
ReplyDeleteI just read your blog and got all caught up. Your blog has really helped me! I am in the process of waiting for approval from my ins co but am already on the pre-op diet. I have a pretty harsh pre-op...no dairy no carbs no sugars of any sort. There's a ton more "no's". Reading how you did with your pre-op, which I think was harsh, too, has helped me! And it was a pleasure to read your progress and get all caught up. You have such a cute personality!
I look forward to seeing what tomorrow holds!
Of course we want to know these things. Yay Gilly - here's hoping!
ReplyDeleteI hope it works this time. I'm starting again next week, because I can eat almost anything right now. Bring on the weightloss. We deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI hope this is it! Best of luck!
ReplyDeletethe swlc ladies HATE the word restriction, i should have warned you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a fill. Can't wait to hear how it does for you.
ReplyDeleteHope this does it! If not, go right back for more!
ReplyDeleteI hope this one does it for ya, girlie. I go in tomorrow for #3. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteMy verification word was 'sucka.'
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that maybe this one will be "the one"!!
ReplyDeleteI hope this is the one that will kick Mona's arse into gear. (That's how you guys say it, right? Arse?)
ReplyDeleteWell, how's it going? Is this it? I haven't had my surgeon ever give me a difficult time about a fill... or words (like "restriction")... but I always worry that I'll say the wrong thing. Soooo... I'm just keeping it to "I feel like I'm doing this myself".
