First fill...

So this week I had my first fill and it was virtually pain free... I only felt a pin prick when the lidocaine was inserted but no burning at all from the med. Then the PA made sure to go into the same tunnel she had created and I only felt a little pressure but no pain at all... I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm glad it went so well.

 

Now I'm starting to eat 'real foods' and a little scared to eat something and it get stuck... still eating mushy foods but I'm going to try something more solid for dinner today.

How did the solids do tonight at dinner?

Well the food went down easy, maybe too easy, lol... but over the weekend I did feel more restriction but not as much as I expected... then today before my tuna lunch, I had some cold water and when I ate, I noticed more restriction... I think the water did it... so from now on, I'm drinking cold water before my meals so that I can't overeat :)
