heidib 15 Posted February 9, 2009 I always eat something right before mine at the hospitol because I know I won't be able to eat good again for awhile. Yes, you can. GOOD LUCK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jodi_620 37 Posted February 9, 2009 I am told not to have anything to eat or drink four hours before a fill. (Pouch should be empty) Good Luck with your fill! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far I can swallow ok.It went very smooth and didn't hurt.:thumbdown: Holy Cow! 4cc's for your 1st fill?! That seems like a lot. I thought I had a lot put in mine for my 1st fill but it's nothing compared to yours. I had 2.5cc's put in on Wednesday last week and I'm extremely tight. Especially in the mornings. Sometimes if I take to big of a drink of Water it won't go down all the way. It just slowly goes down. Good luck with your fill and I hope it works out for you. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
