Its been one week since my first fill and I can't seem to get things right. I was fine on Thursday and Friday last week, even the weekend was fine. I came to work on Monday and wham, I ate lunch and the most horrible pain ever, it was so bad that all I could do was go home and lay down, same thing on Tuesday. Yesterday I didn't eat a lot of solids and was fine. Today tried soft food and it was ok but I get this pain either in my back or under my left breast. I work in the ER and went and spoke to one of the Nurse Pracs and she said that it might just be air. I'm eating less than what I was before I had the fill. I don't know what to do and it kind of makes me a little nervous. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

You may have gotten 'stuck' with the food or eaten too fast. Remember, it sometimes takes a week or up to 4 weeks for a fill to fully 'kick in'. Call your doc if this doesn't improve. Best wishes. -BG

I know this feeling...it SUCKS! All I have to say is chew, chew, chew and chew some more. Take your time and you really chew your food, it makes all the difference in the world. I get sick like that almost every time I try to eat in a hurry.

Good luck.

I didn't eat much over the rest of the week or on the weekend. Monday I ate and actually felt fine and didn't experience any pain, same thing yesterday but today I guess I ate too fast, maybe that's what my problem is. Working in the ER, I'm so use to just inhaling my food, lol. Thanks for the support and good words.
