Third Fill

I went to the hospital and received my third fill today; .5 ccs. I thought I needed .2 or .3 but got .5, under flouro. The PA and tech said that I have a "cute pouch." What does that mean I wonder? I guess that it means that it's really small. :wink: That makes me happy. So I'm on liquids then mushies until the weekend. I'm really hoping to kick this next 20-30 lbs in the butt and thus far I haven't failed to loose after getting a fill. I'm about to go and make my breakfast, which will consist of 8oz skim milk, one scoop vanilla unjury protien powder, and 1/2 cup of blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry mixture. I'm eating some protien pudding as well. Although now that I'm thinking about it, some tomato soup sounds great for lunch tomorrow. Anyway, wish me luck in adjusting to my new adjustment, lol.

I wish you well. I had my third fill October 5 and I had the same size fill. I have been so tight it seems like this past week it just kicked in. I cannot eat hardly anything. Maybe half a cup of protein and thats all I feel stuffed and no more can fit. It is so sad I use to enjoy eating not any more. It is not enjoyable. I am struggling just to keep the small amount of food down. So, Take it slow and easy. I know I will not be asking for my next fill I will just get weighed in and hope for the best. I am tight enough. LOL imaluckydog

Good morning ladies I also had my 3rd fill on yesterday Oct 26th and my dr put .5 in mines also. I'm really sore in the port area I guess he tighten me pretty well.. it's a little bruise there, but I'll be ok. I'm back on full liquids for 5 days.. I will take imalukydog advise and take it really slow.. I pray that you will loosen up soon, try drinking something hot first thing in the morning.. Like hot coca or tea or coffee.. from what I read it on the forum it helps and it helped after my 2nd fill. I hadn't lost any weight between my 2nd fill and 3rd fill, but the dr also advised it might have been from my gallbladder sugery which was on sept 23rd and I might have access water/liquid in my body.. I told him any excuse is better than none... Lol.. thanks doc.. but I know I've been bad eating sweets I shouldn't. Hang in there guys everythign will work out for us.. Keep up the good work.

I'm very tight along with you all. I have not been able to get that much in today and am worried that I am not meeting my daily water and protien intake requirements. I don't know what else to do than ride it out. I know I don't want an un-fill.
