Okay, I know that we have to learn to trust and that may take some time. After all, I have trusted before, only to have my heart broken. I always put so much into a relationship only to find out it won't work out. But, now I have finally found a relationship that is making me smile with joy and love. I LOVE Bernard!! He is everything I was told he would be and more. He is supportive and steady. Who could ask for anything more? (Oooh, sounds like a Gershwin tune).

BTW, Bernard is my band. I got my first fill on Friday, 1 cc went into Bernard and he is now happy to keep me honest and ful-"filled"! I thought to myself "Only 1 cc, how in the world would such a small bit of liquid love keep me satisfied?" Well folks, I am here to tell you that it has worked so far. I am not hungry in between my meals, and that is a BIG improvement. I have already lost 5 pounds since Friday and am feeling so happy to see the numbers on the scale go down. I know that our relationship will need constant tweaking, like any good love relationship, but I am willing to give this relationship my all, because I feel that it is mutually supportive.

Good luck to all those out there that are on this journey. We can do this, because we have the tools now to make it happen. :smile2:

For me this is a nice post.

I go in for my first fill today, and I have been a little nervous. This gives me hope. Thank you. :smile2:

LOL, that was so cute! I think you and Bernard are going to have a beautiful relationship... I am jealous :smile2:

I am so happy to hear that Bernard is the support you need. I know that Zippy is doing her best and after her first feeding tomorrow (4cc of "liquid love" :tongue_smilie: in a 10cc) she'll be even more happy to help. Even if she's being kind of shy for the dr and making me take her to the radiologist to feed her.

I really do like the "liquid love" term. Definately going to have to adopt that into my vocab.

I love your post, thank you.
