One Goal Reached

[judych 225]

hi everyone. well, i had my first fill yesterday... wednesday 9th. Everything went so fast and without pain. i think it took about four seconds for the dr to find the port, slap a small gauze dressing on it, it must have had some sort of anaesthetic in it, and before i knew it, i had three cc's in my band.

Absolutely without discomfort at all for all those who have yet to have their first fill.

As well as, im a 1/4 the way through my weight loss... HAHOOO !! Since the 22nd March, when i was banded, ive gone from BMI 33.8 to BMI 31.2. My EWL is now at 24.14%. ive been losing just over a pound a week, which suites me fine. Ive gone from 92 kilos to 85 kilos... (kilo = 2.2 pounds).

I wasnt asked to drink anything in the drs rooms which i thought a bit odd.. I had a bottle of diet cordial in the car, and when we got back to the car i had two mouthfuls. It was a mistake, i took in too much at once, and for nearly two hours after woods i had problems. Not as bad as ive had before but it was very obvious that things had changed somewhat. lol.

By tea time, i had a small cup of Soup which went down well. It could have been because the soup was hot. It may have relaxed things for me. AT 4am i woke up feeling rather dry so i got up and made a Decaf coffee. A small cup. that was o.k.

this morning ive had some beef broth for brekky... and two cups of coffee and im feeling more relaxed in the pouch as time goes on.

My dr said clear fluids for today only then start introducing again as i did post op. So, im making some pumpkin soup later on for tomorrow. Its winter time here and i love soup so its no biggie for me. No appetite at all. We will wait until next week to see how that pans out.

Anyway, i thought i would give you an update. Either my dr. is the b est or im too old to feel much discomfort anymore... the fill was just painless and quick. lol. And, im down another kilo this morning. my slacks are very sloppy now. i dont want to buy for another two weeks though so i just have to put up with it. lol. All is well here. Oh... when i told my hubbie that i was a 1/4 through my weight loss he looked a bit frightened. rofl. not sure what that was all about. hahahaha...
