Almost There

Dec 19, 2008

I went yesterday for another fill.  I have only lost 2 pounds in the past 4 weeks.  Dr. Lynch gave me another cc so now I am up to 6ccs.  He said that based on what I have told him he thinks I am near my "sweet spot".  I hope so.  I hate having to get fills.  They aren't too bad, but I have started to dread them because it takes him a while to find my port now.  He says that mine is very loose and it moves around a lot so each time he has to find the right spot to poke.  I can tell a difference in what I can hold, but I am still not exactly where I need to be.  I have started to have trouble eating bread and potatoes.  They hurt when they go down so I have to make sure I chew it as much as I can before I swallow.  But other than that I haven't had any problems with any foods.  I am down a total of 30 pounds from my highest weight, only 17 pounds since surgery, but I have been bad and haven't been exercising.  Once I get started in that routine I am sure I will lose a lot more weight.  I have 2 girls from work that are going to start with me at the gym on campus after the new year.  I hope they stick to it with me because I won't go by myself.  Even though I haven't lost as much as others I see on OH, I am proud of myself.  I haven't gained anything in the last 3 months and am slowly losing.  I am so glad I had this surgery.  I know that there is no way I would have been able to do this on my own.  I have been blessed with great insurance and a wonderful doctor.  I just can't wait to see what I am going to look like this time next year.
