After a fill.....
I know this might be bad , but I had my second fill last Saturday and went to carls jr right after to get lunch , I never follow what they said yet , so far I am at 5cc and I have a little restriction , everybody different , I read a lot on here where they said it's takes two weeks for a fill to kick in and my doctor is giving me a fill every two weeks , I am supposed to go back on the 9th , but I might cancel it and wait a little bit
