Today I am six weeks and two days post op....and today was the BIG day! I was ready for my first fill! My weight loss has stalled....hanging tough at 30 lbs since my journey began, and I am ready to get back on track and start losing again.

The office was packed when I got there, and I was so happy to see a familiar face - my friend "Dan" who had been through all of my pre-op classes with me - he was in for his two week check up, and he looks great!

Finally, it was my turn....and I hopped on that scale (after shedding my shoes, of course!) and there is was....30 lbs down...and I really am very proud of losing those first 30. Quite a milestone for me.

Finally, in the room, and able to chat with my doc - have to say, I think this is one of the nicest people on the planet. Even tho the place was sooo busy, I did not feel rushed, or as if he was too busy to talk to me, and take his time with me. Next thing I knew, I was sitting back up, and my fill was over! No drama, no pain, just done! I drank some water, and felt pretty full after a couple of sips....and off I went. Back for another recheck in January!

Tonight, I feel very full...not sure if this is "normal" or not. Still on liquids today...tomorrow I move to pureed ....Friday is soft food, and Saturday back to real food.

I am ready to start this next step of the journey!

My 1st feel was 2 weels ago anf just like you i did not feel any pain..drank my glass of water and off i went. I do have to say that the first 3 days after i felt full...but slowly the hunger came back. Since the fill i have lost 4lbs...its going slow. I have my next fill appt in Jan. I think i am going to need it. My Dr warned me that it may take 2-4 fills before i get to my "sweet spot". I know i am eating a little to much and have felt very little restriction.

Anyways, keep up the good work

Good luck to you...
