Tuesday I got my 2nd fill. Added 2.2 cc's to my 1.5 for the first, total 3.7. Then liquids for 48 hours. Real food today. HOLY MOLY is what I said both at lunch and dinner. Apparently I have a band in there! Most of the time I bring leftovers for lunch, but I spent the day in the car traveling for work, so I brought a homemade wrap (i.e. not a huge wrap.) I made it about 1/2 to 2/3 and got pressure in the chest. Well, that is new and different.
Dinner time - my mom asks me to meet her out for dinner. I warn her at the beginning that it is my first day of real food, so "we'll see" what happens. Got a 2 for 20 type meal which comes with an appetizer. 1.5 mozerella sticks and pressure.... really? 10 minutes later I got my meal and ate 1 1/2 of my riblets (the bbq rib version of the chicken strip) and HOLY CRAP. Any pressure I've felt before was cake compared to this. I got dizzy, was burping all over the place, trying for like 10 minutes to wish and hope and pray it would go down, but nope. 1st day of real food and first PB :-( Felt brilliant after the bathroom trip, but I'm done for the night.
I spoke with a friend afterwards (naturally skinny, but SOOO on my side for this whole process) and she put it like this. "you just had to find the edge! Now you know and will stay away from it." Amen. I'm staying away from the edge.
But, I'm super excited that I really have a band. I was beginning to think it was all an elaborate prank!
