First fill today YAY

[Journey482 0]

I had my first postop check today. My surgeon places the band empty and usually does his first fill about 4-6 weeks out. I mentioned to him that I can turn up a bottle of Water or Protein Drink and it goes right down; he seemed surprised that I have no restriction just from tissue swelling or whatever, but said if I was game for my first fill today, he thought I might be ready (I told him, "the book" says try to get down 8 oz. in an hour; I could drink 8 oz. in five minutes, and start on something else!). Sooo... I got 2 cc put in my band today, YAY. Easy port access, easy fill. For the first time ever, when I had something tonight I could tell something is different. It doesn't hurt, but there's a little bit if discomfort (I guess I haven't learned the "slow down" process yet) that is saying "stopppp already."

Only lost 3 lb. since banding, but I'm not going to let that get me down. I'm down 26 pounds since my first consultation in December, so I'm still ahead of the game.

(Can SOMEBODY tell me which code to use to put a ticker on my signature? There are two boxes, four codes, nothing I've copied and pasted works!)
