First fill

I got my first fill today. It wasn't what I expected. I had read about it being no problem at all, and it wont hurt.

 

But oh my it hurt!! I've been having pains where my port is but I was finally better. My doctor was pressing hard on the port to find the correct place. Then he stuck the needle in, still finding the correct place and oh my it hurt!!

He put 2ml in the band and told me that now I had total of 6ml.

 

I then had to drink some water and that was difficult! It all came up again so I kinda had to throw it up. I felt so sick. But that passed when the water was gone.

He then took 0,7ml out of the band and I'm ok now.

 

I'm on fluids for three days thought ugh! It was expected though since I had read about it. But still I was secretly hoping to be able to eat.

I had a mushroom soup for lunch (without the mushrooms) and it went down well. I was a bit nervous about that because it felt so bad this morning.

 

I asked the doctor some questions about eating. I'm not allowed bread since it will be difficult to get down and no pasta since that could cause bloating. No carbonated water (buhu) and I guess no beer (not a big drinker so that will be ok). But he said chewing gum will be ok, I'm happy about that because I chew gum if I'm dying for sweets.

 

Now I will try not do die over the weekend, being on fluids again haha and I plan to start exercising on monday. He said I can now behave like normal person yay :) Though my port is hurting a lot but I think that it will get better soon.
