I meant to post on Tuesday night, but never got around to it. I went in for my first fill on Tuesday afternoon. I had blogged about my apprehension....it was so unnecessary!!! I was really nervous when I got there - my hands were sweaty and my stomach was doing flips!! When she was finished I was like..."that's it! You're already done!?" I'm glad it was nothing though!!! I have had a little bit of discomfort since my fill, but nothing bad and they said that it's normal. I haven't eaten much in the way of solid foods so I'm still waiting to see if I notice a difference when I'm eating. I have been so swamped this week at work that I have been working through lunch and usually trying to eat a yogurt between classes. That makes for a starving Monica when school is out. Hopefully things will slow down a little next week. The great news is that I lost 3.2 pounds!!!!!!! Go me!!!
We are headed out of town to LUbbock tonight - GO Red Raiders!! They are playing Texas A&M - hoping for a huge upset and sending those Aggies home crying! :)
Just came across your blog...I'm glad your first fill went well. I agree that the apprehension is the worst part!
