Re: Off for my first fill today>Libby

July 4, 2006

Hiya Libby

Don't be nervous about the fill - it's a breeze really, honestly,

sincerly. It will be over in seconds and I don't even feel the

little pin prick anymore. I am the biggest sook when it comes to

needles and if fills were an unpleasant experience I would never have

been able to cope with 15 fills/unfills in 4 months. I eat and drink

right up to fill time without any probs. The only time I avoid this

is if it is a morning appt and I'm getting on the scales.

Libby please don't get too focused on being restricted tonight. It

may not happen for a few fills and I'd hate for you to be

disappointed. We all have different reactions to our restriction

after fills, but I think it would be fair to say that it would be

more common than not to take a few fills before you really know what

restriction is. You may feel restricted for a day or too and it will

then ease off, you may feel very little, or it may not kick in for a

week - we all have different experiences.

Take care

Cherie
