Yes Neece, 184!!!!!! Woohoo! Went to see Dr. Groves Weds. and discussed having another fill, I have slowed down to ~3-4lbs. month. The problem I'm having with making that decision is, there are days when 4 or 5 bites a meal is all I can eat. Other days, I can eat a considerable amount, but my fear is that those days when I have great restriction now I may not be able to eat at all. We made the decision to wait a mont and re-evaluate the situation. I set a goal of losing 4 more lbs. if I don't reach that goal, we are going to do another small fill, maybe will help me with all those potluck lunches and goodies that appear around work during the holidays. I have made the decision to wait until the week after Thanksgiving though, because last year I had my first fill 2 days before and couldn't eat anything during Thanksgiving. I cooked all that great food for my family and had to drink my meal. LOL!
BTW, your avatar pic looks great. How are you doing? I've thought alot about you guys and missed you, but have been extremely busy lately and when I had access to a computer didn't have time to get on.
Janina, I read your frustration on your blog, is there any thing I can do to help boast your spirits? If your band is not working correctly, have you made a decision on what type of revision you might have? Thank God, mine is doing what it is supposed to do, with only 3 fills thus far!!!!!!
On a side note, I am going to be a grandma....(too damn young for that). My daughter is expecting a girl, she has decided not to marry the father at this time, so she has moved back home with us.
The baby is experiencing some medical issues....they have found congestive heart diease where fluid is building up around her heart and lungs. They want to do surgery while the baby is still in the uterus, but Jessi hasn't made the decision yet. Our prayers are that the condition will correct itself and surgery will be unnessecary, so ya'll keep both mother and child in your thoughts and prayers, please!
I posted the ultrasound pic on my profile if you are interested. I'll tery to get the updated pictures of myself uploaded sometime this week-end. Well, I'm going to sign out for now, I'll holler at you guys in a little while!
