So I went to see my surgeon this morning at 10am to weigh in and get my first fill. I couldn't believe the size of the needle he came at me with. IT WAS HUGE!!!, and I'm a nurse so I'm used to needles. It didn't hurt at all, just a small little pinch and a some pressure but no pain. I've lost 18.5 pounds since surgery on March 28th, 2 pants sizes and no longer need the extenders for my bra. I can almost get back into my levi jeans . He only gave me 2cc's and told me to stay on liquids today, soft food tomorrow, then back to normal on Saturday. I'm so excited and feel soooo much better than I did 4 weeks ago. I guess I need to check out some consignment shops for some summer clothes cause I'm not buying any brand new clothes anytime soon. Thanks for all the words of encouragement and support I've received so far, I'm so glad I found this forum. Hopefully I can lose another 12-18 lbs in the next 5 weeks until my next appointment.

CONGRATS!!!!! very well done on the weight loss..I went in for my first fill yesterday, but doc and I both agreed that i am not ready for one yet..I have lost 36 lbs since march 13th..and he said that was above average..Im so glad he decided with me in not getting one..another 4 weeks ill have another apt..if i lose from 8-10 pounds then he still says no fill..I am trying to do as much weight lose without a fill that i can..Just my way of dong it..Im with u on NOT buying new clothes, im so tempted, and i am also down 2 pant sizes.guess we will see if i break and just buy 1 or 2..lol..GL for u in the future
