First Fill

I had my first fill yesterday.
Was an experience, Dr Martin couldn't find the port with the small needle so had to swap to a larger one, still had to dig around a bit but it wasn't at all painful so it didn't really bother me.
I now have 4.5 ml in my band.
I told him I wasn't hungry but he said I would be so he insisted it went in.
Noticed immediately the restriction with just drinking water, it kinda gurgled down. Great I now sound like a drain .PMSL.
I'm on fluids for 24 hours, but I think I will wait till tomorrow to start on mushies again:)
As I also went to the dietician yesterday, I am now able to start having solid food.
That will be interesting.
I had my first episode of not chewing/swallowing too much on tuesday. I had some salmon and decided a cracker would be good, well I completley forgot myself and ate it like I would of pre band.
OMG!!! the pain in my chest. I could feel it trying to go down and then I started salivating like never before. (OK so I'm a slimy drain;) I then coughed and up it all came just like it went down EWWWWWW but the pain relief was instant.
Lesson Learnt. Until next time :P
oooo I bought myself a dress today, from target in a regular 16. It's a black one (sorry Nat). I tried it on and could get it on but it will look much nicer with a few more kgs gone. So it is my Christmas goal dress:)
I am so excited about my band and how much better it has already made me feel in myself. Heck what am I going to feel like in another 10kgs...20kgs...I hope the rest of this journey will be as flowing as it has been so far.
Have a fab day :)
