My first fill

I have waited in anticipation for the day of my first fill. It was not a bee sting, it really hurt but I can take it! I layed down on the table and the nurse searched for the port in my belly button. Then she took out this needle and one, two, three ouch! I felt the saline going in, it was a weird sensation. I had no problem drinking water after that. I then went to dinner, had chicken breast, mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. I ate enough to feel satisfied. Overall it was okay. They say you should go 4 to 6 hours without hunger and for the most part that was true for me. I will test this out and see if I need another adjustment. We will see :rolleyes:
