What a party (also got 3cc added)
Abby & I traveled to Moncton together and we got to talk to Carol, & Ann, plus I FINALLLY met Krista. The icing on the cake was Michelle (the Tupperware lady) strolled in. It was great. Without telling you info that is not mine to tell, I will say that we are all struggling for various reasons. This journey is not an easy one.
I had 3 cc added under flouro. He was going to only add 1 cc, & I asked to 2. After one her had me drink, he added one more, I drank again....and he added yet another. That gives me a total of 8.5CC. That is close to where I was before the unfill. I may have fair restriction again....here's hoping.
Thanks for the good company on the drive, at Costco, and supper, Abby.

Hey Kitty - It was good to see you and Abby and Krista yesterday.
Dr. Roy gave me .5 cc and a pep talk - also got a pep talk from Caroline. I do have a slowness in swallowing liquids thus far. Here is hoping that restriction is the name of the game.
Thanks so much for the support from both you and Abby - it was so needed and so appreciated. I hope your fill will get you back to where you want to be. I would love to have one under fluro - I discovered yesterday that I was not imagining my panic during the fill process. I truly do freak out for fear of an over fill. After much reassurance from the doctor things calmed down but I sat in the parking lot for an hour sipping on a V8. It felt like it was not wanting to go down but silly me it must have been going down because I drank way more than what my pouch should be able to hold. So today I am sipping slowly and hoping that by Monday on puree I will be okay with this and closer to the sweet spot.
Nobody said this was a walk in the park but I am determined to go forward and master this thing and not let the bad experience with you know who get me down any longer.
There is only one direction for me to go here - forward and downward - in weight that is. I will keep you posted on the progress.
Thanks again to you and Abby and Krista for your words of support and wisdom yesterday. It felt really good to talk to people *****ally understand what its like to live this life.

Glad to hear you are feeling optimistic too Krista. I am starting day one of puree today so here is hoping I experience restriction. Hang in there - nobody said it would be easy but it sure is easier with support and understanding from people who not only know what its like but who care.
Keep us posted,
