How do you feel after a fill?



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill last Thursday, and I got 2 cc's. The fill itself was totally fine, didn't hurt a bit, but after I got really light headed and a little woozy. It went away in a few hours. Today I went to get another fill, and got 1 cc added, because I felt exactly the same as a I did before. That fill went fine, but again, I'm light headed, my vision is a little blurry, and I'm a bit woozy. Did that happen to anyone? Could it be from the fasting a few hours before hand?

Probably a combo of the fasting before (if your doc requires that, mine doesn't) and a little nervous anticipation. I a blood donor so not afraid of needles, but I get a little nervousness before a fill. Not sure why. :o

It's a defence mechanism that your bady kicks in when something (the needle) invades it. It causes a temporary drop in blood pressure and gives you that woozy feeling. Just take it easy after your fills and let your brain reset itself.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
