I also asked if when I come back in 2 weeks do I get a fill then..and he said that if I keep doing what I'm doing I won't need a fill.. What..?? So I lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. I have worked to lose that! Sighhh. I really have been working hard, I have not been eating as much as I was last week, and working out every day. Keep in mind I am very motivated for my vacay next month and I have a personal goal to reach. So I'm torn, do I eat when I really want to, and eat more calories than I have been, just to show that I'm not losing weight to get a fill..?? Um, no. I don't think so. He said that sometimes people lose a lot of weight, without ever needing a fill. Pffffft. I have this tool, and I am using it. I guess I feel a little duped because I assumed that everyone got a fill at 6 weeks, at least! I can't help it if I'm really busting my bum to lose weight.
So, I'm done ranting for today.
A positive of today..I got moved to solids, so that was good. I am very excited about that.
I got a swimsuit in the mail today that I ordered..but I am waiting till the morning to try it on..but it is very cute.
oooo this reminds me of something that happend to me! When I went for my 1 week check-up I told my surgeron that it felt like I had fishing line sticking out of me...and he said oh thats just a stitch, and yaned it out with some tweezers. Didn't hurt or do any damage, it was just more annoying then anything. Sounds like your doing good, just try and be persistent that you feel you need a fill. Only you know your body best, be your own advocate and tell him what you want!
ReplyDeleteI meant to say *yanked* it out of me lol
ReplyDeleteYeah I would not be crazy about my doc telling me to keep dieting my butt off cause I didn't need a fill. I think you are gonna have to pull the "I can eat a 12" sub in one sitting" thing. That normally gets them of thier butts to get you a fill! You are doing really great though, I can understand wanting to use the tool you had installed though. Hope the suit works great!
ReplyDeleteI agree, if you are working your butt off to lose weight, and not losing weight because of the actually BAND, then what is the point, lol? Just be persistent with him.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Southern Belle. It's no fair for him to expect you to diet with a band. We got these things so we don't have to diet!
ReplyDeleteHey Athena.. I have just nominated you as one of my favorite beautiful bloggers.. congrats
ReplyDeleteI think its pretty awesome that you are doing so well without the fill. If you don't get the fill at your 6wk can you call after that if you feel like you need one? If not, maybe he could just give you something small? Maybe the reason you've lost so much is because you haven't been on solids....
ReplyDeleteGlad your incision is normal!
I am in agreement with everyone else. You went through alot to get this tool so you want to be able to use it...but you should also be very proud of yourself too for losing weight when you have no restriction....do we get to look at the suit???
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara! I will practice my smile and wave in case I win :))**
ReplyDeleteI will show the suit yes. I have to install my inserts first tho, give my sisters some lift!
