Wobbles
Long time no post - or at least it feels like that. I had my band filled on May 12th and immediately started with reflux which affected my asthma and made walking really difficult. I then found that I couldn't eat much without PBing - unless I had been drinking or I was eating my nemesis chocolate and crisps. I tried really everything - drinking enough, chewing forever, leaving a minute between mouthfuls but I spent at least half an hour after every meal bringing it back up. I phoned the clinic within a week and then sent me a new appointment for June 9th.
The problem was I was getting really upset about always being hungry - I was even bringing soups back up - and I ended up turning to chocolate which I can keep down. Within a week I had put 9lb on. (It was my birthday and there was some drinking and eating out going on as well.)
I got a grip when I saw the scales read 23 13 - I did not want to see 24 again. I've had a very low week with a typical day's menu being - yogurt, small portion very tender chicken tandoori and a bowl of soup. I managed to not only get rid of the 9lb I had put on but another 2lb as well. Partly because I had a defill on Thursday so ate very little that day.
They took out .5ml leaving me with 5.5 in a 9 ml band. Sadly, I still am suffering reflux although the restriction seems much better. I am worried now that I wont be able to have the band tight enough to restrict without suffering from reflux and the reflux is terrible because it makes breathing so difficult.
I have another appointment in four weeks and will see what they suggest. I did try to talk to the registrar about reflux but he brushed me off and I often get quite flustered for some reason when I see him or Mr Ammori.
