My First Fill.....

This morning I went to Fort Worth Lap Band to get my first fill. I was definitely ready to get it done, I have been feeling alot more hunger and need that to go away. It takes about a minute to get it done. I went in, climbed up on the table, the Dr. located my port, and under x-ray he began to inject saline solution into my band, I took one little sip of barium and then I was finished. Next they had me sit in a waiting room drinking water to make sure they did not fill the band too tight. I felt okay enough to go ahead and leave. Glad that part of my day is over! I still have some stinging from where the needle was inserted, other than that not too bad.

After my visit I headed over to Central Market, lucky for me its not too far from the Dr.'s office. I purchased everything to make chicken noodle soup. The first day of a fill you cannot have anything to eat except clear liquids. Day two I can have full liquids. Day three soft foods. Day four its back to eating regular foods. Hopefully I can drop some more weight this week. I am looking forward to being under 200 pounds.

Every morning I am supposed to start my day with hot liquid. Since my surgery I have been drinking hot tea. I really would rather have coffee however I think the cream I use in my coffee makes me very nauseous. I keep trying to drink it and no luck so far! Makes me mad really because I love coffee. Maybe I should try to drink it later in the day???

The chicken soup turned out delicious. My mom came over and helped me finish it up. I drank about a half cup of the soup and could tell that I had more restriction. I still feel like I may be hungry but when I try to drink more broth it feels like I am full.  Well enough chatter for today, I will keep yall posted! Kelly
