My Very First Fill!

Today was my first fill and I can say it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.. They put in 5.5cc's in and now I feel full even after a few sips of water.. I'm so happy I'm onto this part of my journey now where I can start eating solids again.. 6 weeks of liquids and creamy soups, I can now say I'm done with that.. It's been 6 weeks and I'm already down 40lbs.. YAY Me!!!

I Was Banded 3-22-12

The surgery went well. I remember waking up feeling like an elephant was sitting on my chest. They told me that was the gas that was pumped in my stomach and that it would go away. It did and I can say I was one of the lucky ones to not have any gas pains. So I ended up with a 103.5 fever the morning after surgery and had to stay an extra day. Came home and started to re-cooperate. I couldn't figure out why on day 5 I was in just as much pain as day one if not more. I was infected around my port and was leaking out of it. Gross I know but very painful. Today is day 3 of my Z-Pac antibiotic and the pain went from an 11 to a 1.5. I'm so happy to be feeling better and have the worst behind me. Now to get through the next 5 weeks of creamy soups and pudding before my first fill. I can't wait to chew food again..

It's My First Day On Full Liquids Since My Surgery On 3-22-12

I'm just curious because when I eat something like pudding or creamy soup I stop after 3 spoonfuls and weight to see if I'm full.. I then get a feeling of tightness, so I stop.. Then 10 mins goes my and I get a nauseous feeling but I don't throw up and if I eat more the feeling goes away.. Is the nauseous feeling the feeling of I'm hungry? I'm so confused because I don't want to over eat and throw up.. What is the feeling of full? What is the feeling of hungry? It seems way different then before!   Stephanie
