quick question am I this tight because of the fill or is this how restriction feels??? I suppose to be on liquids for 2days after my fill but Im not sure if is clear liqids or full liquids... tomorrow I can start back eating again I dnt know how Im going to do it if I couldnt get coffee down. Im thinking that it migh losen up in a ouple of days just a little bit IDK:confused:

i wish u well. I was counting my calories n i was trying 2 eat around 1000-1100 a day then my doc told me nt 2 count calories bc Im nt on a diet???? so I really dnt know what 2 do after my 2nd day of fluids is over. my doc sd I should take 2-3 bites of food n b full. how am i suppose 2 count calories off that??? I know every doc is different im going 2 follow this booklet he gave me n hopefully it works. when i gt home from the gym 2nite i tried 2 eat some yogurt 2 tea spoons was all I could manage. maybe Ill try some beef broth 2morrow.,. :-) Im on the move

hey juliansmom im glad this fill went better 2. im praying that the restriction stays. how r u doing? was it hard for u 2 get liquids down after ur 2nd fill? did u do clear liquids or full liquids?

11 or 12 but the doc sd it cn hold up 2 14ccs. quick question my doc office is closed now after 5pm. after a fill do we do clear liquids or full liquids bc i cnt even get coffee down....

I got my 2nd fill 2day n it was much better than the 1st one. I got 4ccs 2day wow!!! N i feel tight. So the 1st fill dec 21st 6ccs n 4ccs 2day. Im on my way 2 success. I couldnt even finish 1/2 cup of coffee, hello restriction ...

when I c my doc for chk-ups I tell him if im hungry or if im feeling restriction then he makes the decision whether its time 4 another fill. Here is my issue he doesnt do the fills we have 2 call the hospital n set up an appointment with the radiology department n they dnt get u n till like 3weeks.. I dnt like that at all especially if u r n need of a fill. what would u do in this case for future references ? even though h im getting a fill 2morrow.

thanks so much

Congrads kit n let me know how everything goes
