After of months of waiting ( my own choice ) I have an appointment at TLBC on Jan 26th. I am so excited !

I do have a question, what is a fill with Fluro ?

Yasmina :eek: :nervous

Update: My 3rd fill was Apr 18th. I can only eat about 500 cals (max) per day now, and 225 of them are a protein shake in the morning. I think I'm too restricted (although on the up-side, I've lost 4 lbs in 4 days since the fill). Based on previous fill experiences, the restriction seems to wear off a little after about 10 days, so I'm trying to tough it out for 10 days to see what happens, before rushing to get a defill. In the meantime, I'm becoming very familiar with PBing and sliming!

Question: has anyone been experiencing foot or leg cramps since you've changed your diet?

Tres Chic: Oh boy... You don't want to live with that too long! Stick to what you said, and if it's not better by then, for sure go get a little out!

And no, I haven't, but... quoting mayoclinic.com,

"Mineral depletion: Too little potassium, Calcium or magnesium in your diet can contribute to leg cramps."

Are you taking your Multivitamin?

I AM NOW!!! (I just took some right after I read your message, and "No", I had slipped in the Vitamens department). Thanks for replying Aargon. You've been at this a while, so I appreciate the benefit of your experience.

Good, hopefully that helps!

You'd think I'd know what I was doing, but yeah.... I forget my Vitamins ALOT. :phanvan

I am glad they were able to do it, but when you travel by plane nown you do expect to have an apt. I would have had a melt down if they could not do it !

Did you express your anger with them and how did they react?

Well , the lady who did the fill was very nice and had no idea what could of happened but told me not to worry she would do the fill and let them know on monday. I would have only lost my mind if she could not do it.

I dug out the comfirmation email of the apt and sent it back to them asking about my apt. I do not like the Idea that I can book a fill, confirm it,fly down and they do not bother to show up and had no idea that I had an apt ! What the hell is that all about !

What the hell is that all about

HAve they responded to you yet?

Yes , she said sorry it was her mistake.

I think next time I will call and talk to her in person to confirm the Apt. The lady who was there was very nice, and I did not want to spit the dummy on her , as she said she would do me right away , and was very nice about it.

This was my 2nd fill. the first they put in 5cc and tookout 1cc. The 2nd fill, they put in 2 cc and took out .5cc. This is going to sound very childish but why can't I keep water down with the normal fill ? There was about 6 women in my first fill group and only one other person needed a defill.

Should I be adding a protein powder to my diet ? I drank that god awful protein water for a few days after surgery but that was it ?
