Third Fill

Thanks for the encoragement, Michellelei!

 

It wasn't as bad as I thought. I only gained 2 1/2 lbs. Dr. Teng gave me a lecture, though. He said I'm the quarterback of the team and I have to be willing to go for the touchdown/

 

My 3rd fill was a little bit more intense than the first two. I asked the doctor to be more aggressive, he said no, but then said he put in so much it was squirting back out. For the first time, I could hear gurgling when I drank the water. I was able to drink coffee and a small yogurt later on.

 

I am hopeful that I'll make it through the holidays.

See? It wasnt as bad as you thought,lol. How much "fill" do you have altogether? I just went today for my first fill and my doctor put 5cc in. (I told him I WANT RESTRICTION!! I had none) I gurgled too as I drank a small cup of water! Now I am kinda scared about drinking(not suppose to eat rest of day) anything tonight. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving!
