First Fill
Aug 01, 2009
Ok, well I finally got my first fill. I was so excited to get to this phase. I know from ready forum posts that many people don't get any restrictions with the first couple of fills. So, I was just thrilled to start getting fills and didn't really expect too much restriction. I followed my rules for the first 48 hours keeping it to full liquids and then mushies. Well today I tried solid food and guess what ... I have awesome restrictions. I chewed slowly and cautiously because i wasn't sure what to expect when I swallowed. After about 4 bites of grilled chicken I felt full. I burped and that was it. I was truly full. I couldn't believe it. I was a little sad because the chicken was really good and I was looking forward to eating it, but I was just amazed that four little bites filled me up. I think I'm really gonna love this phase of the journey.
