Oh my gosh!!! I can't believe it's been since 4/9 since my last update! I am sorry! I have quite a bit to go over. In my last post I mentioned that I had gotten .4 removed from my band because it was too full. At the time, I felt like it was a good spot but I ended up getting almost everything I ate stuck. It was not the best feeling to have every time I ate. I tried really hard to make sure I was chewing my food thoroughly but things were still getting stuck. I had my follow up appointment with my nurse the following week so I wasn't too worried about it.
On 4/15 I went to my follow up appointment. My weight on that day was 178.6. This was down another 1.4 in that week. My total in 2 weeks was a loss of 6 pounds. I was very excited about that part but I wasn't excited about not being able to eat. After talking to my nurse about what I was eating and what things were getting stuck, we decided to take out another .2 CC's out. The following 2 weeks were good when it came to eating. I didn't have much getting stuck.
I had another follow up appointment on 4/29. I didn't gain weight, but I wasn't down either. I was still at 178.6. This was a little frustrating because before I wasn't able to eat anything and now I could eat but wasn't having any weight loss. I talked to my nurse about it and we both decided to try putting the .2 CC's back in that were taken out the prior visit. Since then I have been working extra hard at taking small bites, chewing really well and eating slowly. It seems to be much better this time around. I am able to eat things but don't feel hungry very often. I'm hoping that my next appointment will have a good loss and then I will feel like I finally have my band in a great spot.
I know that I said I was going to get pictures up, but I keep forgetting to have my husband take them! I will make sure to have them by my next appointment! I will also do better at updating every couple of weeks instead of once a month!
