Week 14 - Second Fill
- 16 Kg
Well, as predicted the surgeon suggested an extra 0.5ml in the band. Now a total of 4.5ml of saline in the band. I can really notice the restriction.
I can still eat a meal - but depending what it is, I get bored of chewing and just give up and come back a little later for a couple more mouthfuls (even though you're not supposed to eat like that).
I can often feel the food pass through the Stoma. It is really weird. Sometimes there is a bit of pain if I haven't chewed properly or I eat something like biscuits - they just seem to become a cohesive ball of solid that blocks my thingy. I have nearly chucked a couple of times because of eating too fast.
Now is the time to take it REALLY careful. The modification to my stomach is now obvious to me.
My weight loss isn't a concern anymore. The 15kg I have lost already is great and I don't feel so MASSIVE anymore. Even though I'm still a bloody big guy.
But it is good to have a couple of girls take a second look as I walk into work. It's been a while since being noticed like that. I'm learning to wink and walk at the same time!! Pretty good for a male to be multi-tasking like that.
Ciao 4 now.
BTW - 1000 visitors to this site!!! WOO HOO.
