Fifth Fill and not doing well with liquid

Hi,

I hope someone out here can give me some good advice right now because I feel miserable. I went for my fifth fill today putting me at about 7.5 CC's. My last fill I could feel restriction for about two weeks and it let up a bit. I could still eat more than I wanted to. So, I go for my fill today (.75 CC's) and the nurse had to take out .25 CC's in order for me to get a sip of water down. I leave the office and here comes all of this foamy stuff in my chest and throat. I have been spewing this all day long and still can't really drink much if anything. I called the Dr. office and they want me to wait a day to see if it improves due to the swelling my stomach has right now due to the fill. I just don't know what I can do to relieve my misery until tomorrow. I am tired of spitting!!! :) Any suggestions anyone???

I had a fill on thursday that 1cc, 2 weeks before that i had 2cc -- i went from 2cc to 5cc in 2weeks, it was a bit much but i had lost fluid in dec at some point and i think my dr was trying to catch me up-

However i had a hard time with liquid for 2 days then they got better and i was able to add mushies, they were hard but then got better - today i was able to eat some chicken breast... i am VERY tight,, i feel it the minute i swallow but its getting looser .. id wait a few days and keep trying the liquid.

Make sure you're taking *tiny* sips of Water, but if you still are having trouble with water tomorrow, I'd call them and get a slight unfill. They may not even need to take out more than .25cc...but you must be able to drink water. We can go a long time without food, but even a few days without water can lead to death. I think I read somewhere that 3 days without water and the body's organs start shutting down.
