Got my first fill

I was scared to death. I am not real good with the whole pain thing so I was really unsure about getting a fill. He started and was done and I didnt even know he had started. It was awesome. I think I may have had my first glimpse of restriction. I had a head ache from being all stressed out. I tried to take meds, i even broke it in half, thinking ahead you know. WRONG. I felt like it was stuck but in my throat. Then i felt like I was having a heart attack. It was rough for a few minutes. I dont want to repeat that again. He has me on prevacid and i take two blood pressure meds and am afraid to try and take them now. I have not lost any weight in two weeks. I was a little frustrated so I hope and pray that I will have some restriction now. He gave me 4cc's today and said it was the most you could give at the first fill. from here on out, i only get two at a time if i need it. I am to go in 4-6 weeks. So I had surgery, I have had my fist fill and I am on my way to my new life. I am ready to be skinny. Well maybe not skinny but at least healthy. wish me luck. :crying:
