First Fill!! Back on liquids....

Hi all,

I had my first fill today as the topic title states lol

It was on Wimpole Road, London... by Fredrick, one of the consultants when I had my operation.

Surprisingly it was not as uncomfortable/painful as I thought it would be... i was bracing myself for pain! I even tied my hair up........ but by the time I could complain about him pushing my belly to find the port it was done! I then had to drink a cup and a half of Water and was fine, and off I went back to Moorgate for work (I went during my lunch break).

I must say I am really exciting for the future even more, the weight seems to be coming off pretty sharp... people are starting to notice it and I am slowely starting to notice my face and in general my back and stuff getting smaller....

Still a long way to go... but no where near what I was 4/5 weeks ago....

Soooo back on the liquids for two days... hooray soups! (not!) I totally hate Soups... BUT it is just for two days and at least it will kick start some more weight loss...

I am a bit worried to eat after my first fill... because this morning before my first fill I got slightly brave and decided to eat a bacon roll from PRET! Never will I do that again, I have never felt such panic in my life... my chest went tight and everything! (I wasnt sick!) but it did take ages to go down and I was thinking this is what that 'i-didnt-chew-my-food-properly' feeling must be. I will not be eating that bacon roll again! lol

In regards to gym... June 2013 banders, have you started yet? The aim is to start on this coming Monday... What are you finding works for you, what type of cardio? I was thinking of signing up to the race in Hyde Park in Octover for the British Heart Foundation.... Anyone doing any sports charity events this summer in London?

Love

Elisa x

p.s. sorry about the awful punctuation, grammar etc.

Hey Elisa! I'm from the UK, but I'm currently in the US. I plan on training for the 5k race her in Texas. :D Glad the first fill was not as painful as you thought. I'm worried about the pain as well! Hope all is well. xx

Hi! Thank you for your message :-)

I wish I was in Texas right now I bet the weather is amazing. I was really worried about my first fill but believe me when I tell you It is not bad at all, for me it was more the anxiety of what it would feel like rather than the full itself. It literally took minutes and it was over! Let me know how your first fill goes!! :-)
