ADJUSTMENT NUMBER 2!

Four CCs the first time, 2.25CCs this time. Up to 6.25 CCs of liquid and still losing! Duh! I had my second adjustment today and all went well. I was excited when I saw Amanda rather than Kim, whom I was supposed to see. Honestly, I never have seen Kim, and have grown really fond of Amanda, so it really didn't matter, but I was happy to see her there, and then I got to have her as my nurse. Anyway, it's one of those things where you bond with someone and learn to trust them, and the last thing I need is a monkey wrench in the works, so for me, all is well.

And I'm still losing. Down one half pound since yesterday and that was even after having a bit of yummy, and very fat-filled, egg nog that my teammate brought in for me. No, no alcohol, but hopefully it will in a day or so! hehehe I feel so on track, still, and finally experienced sliming. Okay, it's not something I had really yearned to experience, but it was a good thing to know what it was and that I NEVER want to do it again! Pot Roast. I asked Steve to buy a pot roast we could put in the crock pot. It was delicious, but it was also a bit on the dry side. I had eaten nearly one slice when it hit. It wasn't going down. I swallowed, and swallowed, as my throat filled with saliva, but still, no deal. I just kept swallowing. Finally, after a few minutes, I could finish my carrots, but what an experience. As I said, one I care NOT to repeat. Although today at my appt. it happened again. This time, however, it was intentional.

For this appt. she inserted a LOT of saline into my band. She said the way she wanted to adjust it was to over fill it, then ease some out so that it's the perfect fill. They brought in two little cups of water and a straw. She inserted the needle, had me drink, slowly, and sure enough, within my last sip from one cup, I got that feeling again. FROM WATER! She eased a little out until I felt it go away, and drank the other cup. All good. So, I supposedly am at the right level now, although I can't eat solids until tomorrow, which sucks because I haven't eaten since 6am! Yikes. My energy is fading but I'm okay. YAY FOR ME!
