1st fill today..1.5cc in a 10cc band...OUCH!

I got my 1st fill this morning & the nurse talked me out of the numbing meds & told me it wasnt any worse than a needle stick from a blood draw. It wasnt horrible, but it did hurt! It took 3 sticks to get the saline into my port. No fluoro, no ultrasound, just a fill by feel. I sure hope I get some restriction. I have gained 4 lbs since moving on to solids.

I had 1cc in from surgery. First fill added 1.5. Hopefully they add a couple more cc's next week. I need some restriction. I can still eat waaaaay too much. Im still running on willpower but ya never know when you are gonna hit that temptation wall.

I'm at 7.5 and its too much I think. I am finding it hard on cold liquids right now. Hot not too bad. I'm thinking I might need maybe a 1/2 cc taken out.
