First Fill

[Rgman1779 0]

I am at my appointment getting my first fill I am nervous about eating lunch later today.

What am I to expect? After surgery when I was able to eat this past week it was easy to eat regular I just don't want to be on a date and puke everything up. Hahaha

Let me be honest. 99% of your fear will look silly after the fill. We build it up so much and it's such an easy process that you'll be pleasantly surprised. I've been stuck over 20 times and I even used to have a fear of needles. Fills are never a problem. You'll be fine.

Hello

Most of us stay on liquids for 1-2 days before transitioning into foods after fills. THere will some inflammation after your fill and so as to not further exasperate the inflammation, liquids are the way to go for now.

Since this is your first fill, you may or may not feel any restriction. You may find eating food is a nonissue until you get higher fills and are closer to green.

However, word of advice, avoid dates and appointments immediately after fills if you can help it. You need to get a few to learn how your body responds. And yes, you dont want to findyourself in a predicament you dont want to explain away lol

Well the fill was not bad at all. I had 5 post op and now have 8. So I guess we will see how it goes but now back on to liquids for a day or two. Thank for the advice everyone.

After a fill my instructions are the rest of the day on liquid, followed by a day on softies, followed by the regular chopped diet. You prob don't want to eat a big lunch after your fill because your insides could be a tad swollen.
