First Fill AND What A Difference!

I had my first fill on Thursday, Feb 12. I think my situation ended up being a little different. I went to the Doctor's office and he gave me a fill of 4 CCs. He gave me some water to drink and when I drank it, it felt a little funny...almost like I was drinking soda water (with gas). It was an unusual bubbling feeling but I didn't think anything of it. Later, after arriving home, I was constantly feeling like I needed to throw up. I decided to have some soup to see if it would make me feel better....but I didn't. I threw up. Now I was wondering if I had the stomach flu because my husband just got over it a few days ago. I was wondering if it was a coincidence that I had just received the fill. But then, I wasn't feeling better...but worse and I was starting to have some pain. I called the Doctor's office and told them what had happened. They told me to come back in. Of course, it's now 3:30pm and I live an hour away from the Doctor's Office (with no traffic). So I picked up my kids so that I could go in the carpool lane and get there as fast as I could. The pain kept getting worse and I just prayed that I could make it to the Doctor's Office. I got there in one hour ten minutes...I was lucky because the traffic was starting to build. The Doctor seemed surprised that I was having pain. He said that he normally gave between 4 and 5 CCs for the first fills. Well, it wasn't working in my case. He removed 1 1/3 CC and I immediately felt better!!!! I drove home and it took me an hour and a half to get home. So, I was on the road for many hours on Thursday! Anyway, I stayed on liquids and realized I could only eat very, very little. It's been great! I tried to eat a Fiber One Breakfast bar this morning and I could not eat the entire bar. I can't even finish one protein drink. I'm really happy, afterall, this is waht I paid for!

In the last few days before the fill, I had actually gained 3 pounds. In the last 3 days, I've lost the 3 pounds plus one more pound. The weight is starting to come off again!!!!! I'll update next week and we'll see how much more I'll have lost. To start the week off right, I went to the store and bought lots of healthy things to eat!
