1St Fill Today

So, I had my 1st fill today after my Nutrition class. Can I just say "ouch!" Yea, it smarted a little when the needle went in, and I did say "OUCH!". The Nurse says "aw, come on (jokingly)," and I said "yea, seriously OUCH." Oh, it wasn't painful or anything like that, but it did kinda pinch. I even felt something weird when she first started injecting the saline. She said some people can feel it, others can't. This was about 2 hours ago, and my port site is a little sore, but it doesn't hurt.

 

Oh, I found out my band size is a 14. Holy large band, Batman. Yea, I guess it's one of the bigger size bands :ph34r: (embarrassed a little), and I guess she filled me with 5 1/2 or 5 cc's (great, now I can't remember). I'm kinda feeling 'full' right now, but I haven't eaten anything. They said fluids this afternoon, and soft foods for dinner. Then tomorrow, normal foods. I have an appointment for 2 weeks from today to see if I need a 2nd fill by then. They said I can cancel if I feel I don't need it, and schedule an apt for 4 weeks out. I guess we'll see how the next few weeks go.

 

So, I'm off.... B)

Glad it wasn't too eventful. Nice that you're able to get fills more rapidly too. I only had one minor one. I LOVE my surgeon and all but he isn't hung up on the "cc" of how much fluid he put in so he didn't tell me. I am sure if I would have asked he would but he said it's really irrelevant as everyone is different and it doesn't mean the same thing from one person to the next. I have no idea if I have 1 cc or 10. :( Nonetheless, I definitely need a 2nd fill as I feel I can eat anything lately. I am trying to stay good and am but it's a struggle not to overeat.

Best of luck to you!

I am so with you my dear! It's hard to stay on track, but I'm so afraid of over-eating & feeling like poop. Read my blog from today. Oh, so entertaining :-(

So, how much weight have you lost so far? I was filled on 8/17 & have lost 18 pds as of yesterday. Keep in mind, I lost "15" the first week so only 3 little pounds the last 3 weeks. I'm still trying to figure out what I can eat & how much.

This should be a fun ride... LOL

Good luck 2 u 2!
