First fill tomorrow...getting nervous about it..tips?

I don't know why I'm so nervous about this? Sometimes I feel like I don't need one...like I'm in the green. Other days, I feel I can eat more than I should. Ugh. I also worry about them poking the tube and causing a leak in the thing. Silly, I know.

So, I got very swollen after eating soft food yesterday...went in today and got a .3 unfill...half of the fill I received a couple weeks ago is now taken out. I feel sooo much better. I was slightly too tight.

Wow, I had a feeling! I just went in for my 2nd fill yesterday. They filled me up 1.5 cc which is what they unfilled during my first fill appt. It is day two. Very tight...doing liquids, took me 24 hours to get through a 20 oz. Muscle milk. I'll see how it goes tomorrow. May or may not need this unfilled. Junebug36- so glad you feel better.

I'm happy you are feeling better. :)

Yeah, I kinda had a feeling too...took me so long to eat solids with the fill...and then I kept getting stuck on everything no matter how much I chewed. I figured at the 2 week mark, if I was still having issues, it was time to fix it. Plus, I was getting hungry due to not enough food at each sitting. I was told 7-10 days liquids then mushies this time around...ugh!! But, I do feel better now. Oddly I got very nauseated right after he took the .3cc out. It lasted most of the day...but I'm feeling a lot better this evening. So weird, how your body reacts different to each little change. Weevie, I'm surprised you have a fill so soon! You sound tight like I was. Try sipping some warm broth..Im doing that myself right now! Freshly made, right out of the crock pot. :-) so goood!
