First Fill

[Courtney9712 0]

Well today I just had my first fill. They put 1.6 cc's of Fluid in me. I am not sure if that is a big or small amount. I did not feel any tightness at all, so I guess thats good. I was just wondering, after a fill, how often to you have to wait til you can eat something? I am starved, and wanting to eat some Soup, but I was not sure if that would be ok, so soon after my fill?

Courtney I think most people go ahead and eat after they get a fill. I havent had my first one yet but most recommend fluids at least the first day...dont know if this helps it's just what I've read on the threads....

Courtney ..all doctors are different. Did your not give you any specific instructions? My Dr. has his patients do 3 days of liquids (full liquids: anything that will go through a straw) . I did eat right away after my 2nd fill becasue my doctor wanted me to eat to make sure before I left TJ that I was not filled too tight & once I was OK and not too tight he told me to now do 3 days of liquids. Maybe give your doctor a call and ask to be on the safe side..It cant hurt to call
