Day One- I got stapled!

October 26, 2009
I got up, ate my usual breakfast of oatmeal and bananas. Went to my doctor appointment. Dr Fruhling explained the procedure. Sounded fine to me, so we got started. She first had me lay down on my back, made me very comfortable. She put needle on my feet and hands, then attached electrodes, I felt a little bit of energy flowing. NO, it did not hurt! I laid there for twenty minutes, with her checking on me every so often. She took out the needles, and put tape around my feet, that will stay on for 3 or 4 days, then she put the staple in my ear. My ear piercing hurt more than that! She also showed me the spot just in front of my ear to rub when I have cravings, then she put a little bead there so I will find it easily. It will come off in a few days, but by then I will know where the spot is at. I have to wiggle my ear with my hand 30 minutes before I eat. I will still have to eat correctly, and exercise as usual, but hey, I need help! Lunch time rolls around, so I wiggle my ear, wait 30 minutes and eat a small sandwich, swiss cheese in a whole wheat roll, and a tangerine. I WAS FULL! A few hours later I was a little hungry so I had an avocado tostato, Mmmm good! And full! Had a late dinner, having done my ear wiggling 30 minutes before, and I ate about half of what I normally eat, and I'm full! Late for a snack, I ate 2 graham crackers, normally I eat about 10! I didn't want any more! I'm happy!
I'll get Jonny to take a picture of my staple, and I will find out how to put it on here!
