I'm almost there!

Oh happy day! I'm almost there with my fills! I had a fill yesterday which puts my total at 6cc's of saline. I was eating some honeycomb cereal(it gets mushy) this morning and felt the feeling of "stuck". You know that pain you get when you eat too big of a bite and it hurts in your back? That's close to the feeling I get. Plus I have that satisfied feeling in my tummy, unlike prior to surgery when I sat and ate 3 BIG bowls of cereal!

I'm guessing one more fill will put me where I want to be! Yippy! That is very exciting for me on this little ole journey. I've got myself into a great workout routine, eating better, but was still able to eat too much, now that should be close to on track as well!

Have a wonderful day, I hope that sharing with you helps you in some way!
God Bless,
Kerri

Hello Kerri!

Overall I'm ok, although I have had a setback. The pain I talked about a few posts ago has turned out to be that my the stitches holding my port in place have pulled or torn. I'm on restrictions of not lifting, pushing or pulling anything for at least a week. My first fill is Friday, but may have to get pushed back. Other than that I'm great!

HI Wendy,

How are you doing? Better? Wow, how did you tear the stitches? Over doing it? Wendy.....bad girl!

just kidding.

I ate a few bites of turkey tonight, then about 5 minutes later, not thinking I drank a big ole drink of water and OMG, the worst pain i've felt since surgery. It was very uncomfortable for about 20 miuntes, I was hackin up the water/flem..yuck...sorry :-)

Won't do that again. I can't even talk, move or do anything when it gets like that. It's happened a couple other times since my last fill, but nothing like tonight.

Week ends coming up, have a good week end!

Kerri
