2nd fill
APPARENTLY, i am a lucky girl! My surgeon does generous fills, so it turns out. I have a 11cc Realize band. My first fill 3 wks ago I got 4cc. Now today, he added 3cc for a total of 7cc in my 11cc band. I think that sounds like a lot b/c I think of what Amy is at 8 mths out. I think of people who had surgery the same time as me and they are around 4-something after their 2nd fill. So I feel lucky and blessed he's so nice and awesome and I'm just going to be "gentle" w/ it and do the liquids for 3 FULL days as directed.
BTW, short story about my surgeon. I met him 2 wks before my surgery. Before that I had been seeing a diff surgeon and NP, and finally met Kurt Sprunger right before my surgery. My first thought in the doctors office (b/c I had just discovred how attracted I am to older men, thus, allowing myself to notice them MORE FREQUENTLY) I THOUGHT HE WAS HAWTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! He was dressed up in dress pants, a CRISP white dress shirt long sleeves w/ the sleeves rolled up. Nice tan, no wedding band, veiny arms (I'm such a sucker for that, gawd) cute attractive face and sprinkles of gray in his dark brown hair. I felt creepy thinking the gray was hott, but what can I say, he's hott. So I was so nervous and shy during that meeting.
I tell my mom, cousin, and BFF that my surgeon is hawt! They just laugh and remind me that he'll see me naked, woo hoo! I forgot about it, go about my business, and remember surgery day morning. they have me in pre-op all ready to go and said I was a fabulous patient b/c my BP and heart rate weren't even up, I was even kill, even stephens, just chillin....waiting for my life to change.
finally about 30 mins before surgeyr they let my family come back 2 at a time b/c the surg is ahead of schedule and they are going to rush me away "any minute". So I'm there all ready in the gown, ankle crap, and stuff laughing w/ my mom and cousin Amanda. They smile, I laugh, they tlak, I laugh, I laugh at myself, I smile and laugh at the nurse. My mom says "gee, you sure are happy and not a bit scarred. they must've given you that happy juice"
right then the Rn walks up and says "here's your medicine now, now you can relax even more."
we all died laughing, I was chill and goofy SANS MEDS! So we're being silly and when you get me laughing I'm 100% carefree and don't care what I say or who I say it to. My surgeon walks up and is super nice and touchy while telling me we're about to go back and he's ready and blah blah blah. He stays for maybe 10 mins and then leaves. I'm smiling blissfully as he walks away and I slowly turns my smiling face to my right and I see my mom AND cousin glarring down at me...
"YOU think HE's hot??? what the hell is wrong w/ you? hahahaha! he's ugly!" my mom says.
we all three die laughing. so it's been this long joke w/ us that it must've been the scrubs. b/c everytime i go to the md I call my mom"yep, he was hott today. I don't know why you didn't see it. still hott."
anyway, he's precious and yes I do BRIEFLY imagine throwing him down on that table thing and taking advantage of that good tan and those veiny arms. hhahahahaha!
BACK TO THE FILL....
I go in and i admit to him that I "tested my band" after the first fill. I wanted to see how much pizza I could eat. I ate 3 pieces and stopped out of guilt, not restriction. He gives me this sideways, papa bear, you were bad look! I feel bad. I stare into his pretty eyes, sadly. I disappointed him.
He says I must never do that again b/c I'm too awesome to set myself up for failure. Now he's seeing it...righttttttttttt! So he does the big fill and is super causious about me drinking the water after to test it. He made me re-drink like 5x to make sure it wasn't too tight. He threatened to call me at home if I didn't bring my butt back in in a month. He's too adorable.
Left there feeling great. I had t h is campbell's v8 soup stuff for dinner. It's weird I just saw it at walmart the other day. It's in a small box like some broth comes, it was in the broth section. They have 5 flavors and it's basiclaly pureed soup. I got the vegtable and it had tiny, tiny chunks of veggies in it the rest was real liquidy, soupy stuff. So I had a cup of that for dinner. I'm starving now. I must go to bed ASaP but I cannot stop myself from blogging....I must sleep so I do't eat. I've been wondering what kind of liquid "snack" can you have when your kids have eaten all of your jell-o and pudding?? hmmmmm! I've yet to come to a decision on that.
I will slowly stop blogging now and tear myself away from the computer and drag my butt to bed. tomorrow is another blissful weigh in and i hope to be at 256 (new all time low) and do measurements if I have time before work.
See ya!
