I had my first fill today,

it's been 6 weeks since i had my surgery.

for the past several weeks, i felt absolutely no restriction. I was supposed to be on a 9oz meal 3 times a day. and i found myself eating way more than 9oz. i was starting to think that my band was a placebo, and i didn't have one. haha.

i managed to gain 6 pounds in these weeks.

the procedure was, kind of weird.

they sucked out all of the fluid and i could feel the band loosen.

such a trippy feeling.

they added a 1cc, to my already 7cc band.

i didn't take my medications before the procedure,

so, my nurse told me to cut my pills in half, or grind them.

have you ever tasted a ground up multivitamin. oh, man that was gross. anyone have any tips on how to take a giant multivitamin without crushing it?

anyway, i immediately felt the difference. prior to the fill i was able to swallow all my pills at once without a problem. now i am taking them one at a time. and it took me at least 20 minutes to get them all down.

so it's back to liquids for the rest of the day..

i hope this is the fill i needed. i've been drinking hot tea all day, and when i take a big gulp, i can feel a little restriction. this is normal, right? well not normal...per say. clearly i need to take smaller gulps. but it's just proof that it's working, right?

fingers crossed. i hope it works, and without the feeling of defeat, i can get this tool working the right way, and putting me on the right path!!

<3 thanks for listening!

I get the Viactiv chewable vitamins as well as the calcium. They're chewy and good for a chocolate fix. VIACTIV
