Lots to tell!!

I had a crazy busy week last week and it just keeps on coming!!  I have a lot to tell so I am going to do some bullets....
  • I got my fill on Wed afternoon, I waited 2.5 hours in my surgeon's office but I was NOT going to leave without some more saline in my belly.  I was at 4.5cc in a 14cc band, she said she gave me a whopping 1 cc, but I kind of feel like she is lying.  I don't feel anything, I eat my 1/2-3/4c and I am STARVING two hours later.  
  • I spent the rest of Wed and all of Thur on liquids, but when I had some grilled salmon and brussel sprouts for breakfast on Fri, I got a wicked nasty pain in my tum-tum.  As soon as I would swallow I would get a stabbing pain that lasted for 10-20 sec, then go away.  Another bite and another stabbing pain.  I called Dr. H and she told me that I could either come in for a slight unfill or go back on liquids for a couple days and wait it out.  I went back on liquids until Sat dinner time, I got a little bit of a pain with the first two bites (nothing like the day before) and then I was fine and no more problems!  Weird!!  
  • Friday I cut 8in off my hair and colored it.  DARK auburn!!  I love love love it and Peaches thinks I am a hottie, even more so than before.  We celebrated my new hair-do this weekend....several times!
  • Sat night I went dancing with the ladies, sporting my new hair and my new SIZE 18 JEANS!!!!! (I started my pre-op on diet on 03/18 at size 24).  While we were out I ran into a friend of Peaches' and he told me like 20 times how good I was looking.  He also texted Peaches and told him how good I looked.   


  • Sunday morning I got up and made breakfast and then played in my yard!  I made a tower of pots that I just love! 



  • Sunday I went to see Snow White and the Huntsman, I have a serious girl crush on Charlize Theron and I was a little saddened to see her in the old lady scenes, but the movie was great!!  Not for kids but a good movie.  Even Kristen Stewart's mouth-breather face couldn't ruin it.
  • Lastly I returned to work Monday to a little present from one of my best friends!  She said she saw this magnet and thought of me. 
  •  I took my two month bandiversary pictures and will be posting them soon!  I just need sometime to breath.

  4. Where is the stabbing pain? Wondering because I have it on my left side recently after I eat. With liquids plus my vitamins (there are many), it is quick and passing. With solids it hangs around a bit longer. Especially at night. Wondering if it means I am truly close to actual restriction!

  7. You look fabulous! Love the pots! And it takes time to get to a good restriction level...remember...patience is a virtue. :)

    P.S. Sounds like you've got a little first-bite syndrome going on. I wouldn't mess with an unfill...I've struggled with this as well...just gotta go REAL slow with the first couple bites. Good luck!
