Fill me in........haha get it

I know, I have been slacking!  But between vacation and the entire family being sick, I have been a busy girl! So whats been up?

Well we had a sweet vaca with amazaing friends in Nags Head.  While I ate pretty much what I was supposed to I did drink entirerly too much!  I lost no weight while there but I am honestly happy with that.


Today I had my first fill!  OMG.com was I scared.  I was a wreck, which if you know me leads to trying to make the whole waiting room laugh.  I think my classic line of the day was this one, "Be gentle with my port, it's a virgin".  So this is how it went down.  I took my shirt and stuck it in my bra while standing in the floroscope/x-ray thing.  You could see my port on the screen, which was kinda neat.  Then Erin my nurse took this long needle and inserted it into my port.  This is about the time momma checked out.  Apperently I turned white as a sheet and started sweating, so we talked through this to keep me from going down.  Erin inserted 2cc of saline then left the needle hanging there, while I drank barium.  The barium passed through and the needle came out (which also coincided with my color returning).  Done deal!  I guess that I already had 4cc in my band, so now I am at 6cc total.  I am back on liquids for 2 days then 2 days of soft mushy stuff. 


Good news stuff that happened today. My blood pressure is down from 125/70 to 90/70 (I think we will probably be going off the ole heart medicine).  My weight was 271lbs.  Total weight loss in 49 days is 41lbs.  This is the craziest journey ever!
