Hi Aligirrl,

You just got your fill today? I'd say give it another day on fluids only, don't try to eat any solid food until Friday, and then only mushy foods. Some people react to fills by swelling and it's a good idea to take it really slowly until you know how you're reacting. Did your doctor tell you to stick to fluids for a day or so? Most docs do, it seems to be a pretty routing post-fill protocol.

If you're having trouble drinking (sipping, not gulping) THAT'S when to call your doctor. Otherwise you may just want to give it a couple of days and see how you're feeling. You won't starve, I promise.

Good luck!!
