..nail biting time..
After some appointment rearranging and rescheduling, I managed to squeeze into a slot this afternoon with my surgeon, my original appt on Thursday I had to cancel because I am away this weekend. I am so nervous because I want my fill soooo badly, it's been 6 weeks since surgery. (well tomorrow is 6 weeks) I have lost 5-6 lb since my last appt, so I'm wondering if he is going to deny me again!!?? Although, I have hit a plateau, and haven't lost anything in several days. So do I tell him the truth, that I notice that when I eat solids I don't lose, so I have been eating a lot of liquids and mushies..? Do I beg? Do I try to come up with a way to flourish the truth a bit to make him see how I need this!! I am flying this weekend and I am not going to have access to my normal routine foodwise. Some restriction would be perfect! I am packing some major things I need for the daytime..protein shakes, protein bars, but thats about it.

Look, you're doing a great job with this but I don't think it's fair for him to deny you a fill just because you've been losing. Let him know it's been a really tough effort on your part, that you haven't allowed yourself to go back to full solids because you seem to gain when you do. I think that should give him what he needs to give you a fill. And if all else fails, beg.
ReplyDeleteFingers are crossed for you!
I agree with Kristin. I think that what you have been doing on your own is awesome, but that said, its gotta suck to be on mushies! I would be totally honest, I think if it were me it might discourage me to not get a fill. I realize we can't rely fully on the band but you did get it for a reason! Just my two cents.
ReplyDeleteIf you eat solids and don't lose, then that means you NEED a fill, right?? Tell him that if he tries to deny you again..
ReplyDeleteI agree with all above.. My dr. asks what I can eat and how have I been losing. I count calories right now so need a fill. Hope he does a fill... Crazy if he doesnt because why else would you have gotten the band.. SOunds crazy... I am crossing all fingers and toes for you girl..
ReplyDeleteHi! I just started reading your blog and look forward to following you on your journey. I am being banded on 3/24 and I am so excited. I have started to blog about my journey and can use all the help and support there is so I would love for you to drop by and say hello!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so good and I pray that I follow in your footsteps. I will keep my fingers crossed on the fill front!
I agree with all the above...you have probably had the fill now...
ReplyDeleteWow, that really sucks about the fill. Sometimes docs really think they know what we need when they have no freakin clue. I hate that. Just cuz they're doctors doesn't mean they know what I need better than I do. Ya know? Well, I hope it goes/went OK for you.
ReplyDeletePS~very cute blonde beagle. is it yours?
