Yes, I am being optimistic. This morning's fill was my fourth; I got 1cc bringing me to a grand total of 10cc. Remember, I have a 14cc band. Both the surgeon and the program coordinator said they'd be really surprised if this fill didn't bring about a decent level of restriction. I am so hopeful! Last time (when I was at 9cc), neither of them made such comments and were much more "Everyone's different." I think that based on my symptoms (two PB's and a little sticking) and the level of fill, I have got to be close!
I want to go eat something right now to find out!
But I won't. No solids until Thursday. Or tomorrow if I rebel against the rules (clear liquids today, full liquids tomorrow, mushies on Thursday, regular food on Friday).
I took the rest of the day off. About to go do some laundry, work on a logo design for my maybe-photography-business, and take a nap before I go get the kids. Later, my find banded friends!
Good luck with this. My fingers are crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the restriction! I can't wait until my appointment this Friday!
ReplyDeleteEven if it is perfect you will be much closer! I noticed the fill right after I started getting a couple stuck episodes made a huge difference. It still isn't perfect, but things are so much better than they were. Right now, as long as I don't let myself get way too hungry it is pretty easy to stick to the plan. Even when I do get that "big" hunger I can't that much more than I should. It isn't perfect, but I still love it!
ReplyDeleteI hope this one works for you! Even it's it not perfect just stay positive and think you're getting closer.
ReplyDeleteHope this one does it for you. You sound like you're due for some real restriction!! PS I wrote about you today in my post. Your words yesterday on FBS was awesome and I ran with it!!
ReplyDeleteI hope this Fill is the restriction you were wanting too!!
ReplyDeleteI just read your post from yesterday and I too feel like I have FBS!! Thanks for writing about it and explaining it! It totally makes sense.
