Ok I had my first fill Friday, I was neverous as crap so I made sure I took my blood pressure meds, my heart meds, and yes a xanax. OK are you noticing what I didnt notice? I am having my feel so that means nothing but fluids after that, ughhhhhhhh I forgot to eat breakfast! Hmmm maybe I should look at that as a NSV.

Now about the fill, I found out I have a 10 cc band, which is I think the largest one they make. Dr.Gritsus filled me with 3.5 cc, at first I am not sure how much he put in but he had to take some out. He was viewing the floroscope so he was able to see the barium that I was drinking going down to judge the amount of fill. There was no pain at all but a very unusal feeling, I am not so sure I would even call it pressure.

Ok I stayed on liquids for the rest of the day ........ok almost, I had cream potatoes and gravy from KFC, I mean that is instant potatoes so it was just like a liquid.

Now I still have very very little to no restriction. Ughhhhh so I called the doctor Monday to complain and here is what he said.....

You went through the healing stage and made it, now your going through the learning stage. Now is the time to learn to slow down, chew very very well and to start thinking about what you are eating. You can't do this if you are pbing and slimming, all you will think about is the pain. He said you trusted me to do your band now trust me to make the right decisions on your fills. Now how do you argue with that? He told me to get on the scales that I might be surprised, and OMG, I have lost 9.5lbs!!! I couldnt believe it, I mean I knew that I had cut back some on what I was eating but I also know all that chocolate isnt a good thing either! I have another appointment in 2 weeks. I have decided to act like I have restriction and see what happens.

My journey to discovering who I am has began. (is that suppose to be begun, I could never get that right)

Oh I am swelling today, ughhhhhhh must be getting to be my time of the month again, oh lovely!:rolleyes
