Had My First Fill

Yesterday was my first fill and it went just fine. Not quite painless, but not a big deal either. My doctor does this with the xray tech. So he initially put some in, checked with the x ray as I swallowed, then removed some. Left me with 2cc. I was on liquids after the fill and then all day today, soft foods tomorrow and back to food on Monday. I am being super careful - small swallows. I don't want any trouble. In fact when I went in, I asked him to be a bit conservative with the fill because I've been doing so well and didn't want to go extreme. I am hoping this will jump start my weight loss again. I know my weight loss is long term, and I'm in it for life BUT we do have a family wedding on the 16th of this month and I have a certain dress in my closet I would like to wear . . .however, I do have a back up dress in case it doesn't fit . . I tried it on last night and my hubby and I were both pretty skeptical . . I'm in it, but I certainly would not wear it anywhere looking like that! Oh well . .little by little and decision by decision . .. we'll get there. And I thank you all again for posting your first fill experiences - I was so at ease because I knew what to expect - piece of cake! Have a great weekend everyone.

So it all went well, I get mine the same way you do too under flouroscopy! They can really see what they are doing that way. Congrats, you will see a difference. It took about a 10 lb drop for me to see a size difference, and it sure is nice. I have one week till my daughters wedding and I am working so hard I have to fit in eating! Careful that I don't snack on the 400 butter mints I made for that day! LOL Or the White Chocolate Almond Joy Candies either! I have about 200 of those! Whew, hey I really don't care for either anymore much, but I did taste them so to make sure they were good! LOL Candy was never my downfall just good ole southern cooking with cornbread on the side! So happy for you, you WILL get into that dress soon.
