First Fill

Well, today was the day. I had my first fill. Back on full liquids for a day then pureed foods for a day then back to normal again. That is one thing that I never asked about was the diet after a fill. I had anticipated the routine but didn't know for sure. I was told that it would take 3 - 6 fills to be adjusted properly. Mr. Bob was surprised at the weight loss, made me feel good. I had my mom go with me so we can have some mom and me time the hour and a half car ride each direction, gave us some catch up time. It was nice! The pain was very minimal. It felt like a bee sting but it didn't linger like they do. It was the initial poke of the needle then it was gone. I was told my port is rather deep - but that's okay because there is a lot of insulation between my skin and the port - hopefully I can start shredding off some of the insulation. The nurse actually took some measurements of my waist and stomach area. WOW! It has shrunk some. Overall, so far I am happy with myself for changing everything about ME!!!! I go back in three weeks for another fill me up!
