Another fill.....then TOO TIGHT!

Well I had my fill and getting a fill is a little bit different. It is like childbirth. You know the basics and may have been through it before, but it is always a little different.

I got a fill. My last fill was in April and was 0.7cc. So was the fill before. Yesterday I got 1.7cc. Then I somehow forgot to try a little cottage cheese and chicken salad in my vehicle before going out for something to eat. Usually I shop for about an hour before I eat, but I had a late appt and wanted to get on the road. I live 7 hours from my doctor.

So onto TGI Fridays for my customary Sizzlin Chicken and Cheese. I took to very tiny bites of chicken and two bites of onions and pepers, checked out and PB'ed all the way back to the Dr.'s office. I got 0.4cc out and felt much better. I had to be careful on the way home and the protein shake this morning for breakfast went down pretty slowly. I thought I was surely too tight. Usually I am never tighter in the morning, but maybe I am now. I had 1/2c chicken salad for lunch and part of a chicken breast for supper. It has gone down really well.

I guess in the next week will see what happens. It usually takes 10 days for my fill to take full effect, but I guess it is different every time!

Wow u get to eat after a fill! Not me, my doctor makes us do a liquid diet for 5 days then 1 day of full liquids n 1 day of soft food then back to ur reg diet slowly. But sounds like ur at ur sweet spot.

I do eat because I live so far away. When I left the office I could drink just fine. Thank God I didn't wait to eat. I would have been too tight and 7 hours from my doctor! Not the norm, but he doesn't want me too tight too far away.

I'm like yoco28, my doctor want me to start over with liquids, and then musy food. I live about two hours away. So they like for me to hang out close by for example shopping etc. and drink so if I feel tight I can come back. Good thing you ate before u went home. I don't have restriction. My next appt is Monday, August 24. So hopefully I will feel a different.
