2nd Fill

The 2nd fill didn't tickle. Not sure if that's good or bad. Felt one or two stabs but nothing bad at all. I do feel fuller now. i can still eat 16 oz of food which is not good but if I stick to the pouch rules I don't get hungry as quickly and I've lost 4 lbs.   The hardest part is not drinking while eating!

Ready to get my Fill on!

I'm really excited, I'm getting my first fill tomorrow!:hurray: I was doing so well when I was first banded. I finally could tell when I was full! Before the surgery I could eat and eat and eat and I could never tell how full I was until I would practically have to explode to fill full! I'm trying not to eat that much now that the swelling has gone down and the food just passes right through, but its difficult. I'm ready to get my fill on!
