My Very First Fill!

· 437 views

Today was my first fill and I can say it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.. They put in 5.5cc's in and now I feel full even after a few sips of water.. I'm so happy I'm onto this part of my journey now where I can start eating solids again.. 6 weeks of liquids and creamy soups, I can now say I'm done with that.. It's been 6 weeks and I'm already down 40lbs.. YAY Me!!!

    I had no idea they put in that much for the first fill:/ Eek! It's so exciting to hop on the scale and see the numbers go down!!! To "Weighty Wagey" that needle may be big but I had little to no discomfort. They numb'd the area up with lidocaine and that was the only discofort I had.
