Yesterday, late afternoon, I had my first fill. It was painless, not what I expected...but almost immediately, I have some serious gas and shoulder and chest pain. Much like what I had the first 6 weeks after surgery. My surgeon does not require liquid or mushy diet AT ALL. He actually told me to go home and eat a regular meal, but take it slow. I am terrified that I have done something wrong, but I don't want to be an alarmist and over react about the pain I'm feeling. Is this normal?

I'm shocked your doctor let's you have solids immediatly. I would do 24 hours full liquids and then 24 hours mushies. See if that helps. If you are swollen eating solids will only continue to aggrevate your stomach.

Wow...my Dr orders liquids for the first day...mushies the 2nd and back to regular on day 3.

I feel your pain...well almost. I had my 1st fill today and feeling just weird. Some uncomfortable pressure in my chest that I felt immediately after the fill (I was still sitting on the exam table. Doc ended up taking out 1cc, leaving me with 3). I feel at times that I have a major burp building up, then nothing (very disappointing haha) I'm hoping this feeling goes away in a few days, if not sooner. My doc told me to do liquids for a few days. Thats going to be hard since I was pretty much eating normal about a week out. I am a little terrified about this 'slimming' and/or "PBing" I keep hearing about. I barely chew my food so this is going to be a challenge for me :-/

Hope you get to feeling better soon. Try some Gas X strips and a heating pad. Did wonders for me after surgery.
