First fill question

I am going to see Dr. Toder on Friday for my 7 week check-up and I expect that I will get my first fill while I am there.  My question is, I was planning on leaving right from her office to go to New Hampshire for the week-end and I'm wondering if I should not go.  Will I have any problems with my first fill that I should not be out of town for?

I took some protein bullets as backup in case I need the liquid protein when I left for the weekend after the fill.  I had to go on liquids for 2 days, then pureed foods for the next two days.  I also put some Dessert Protein into zip lock bags, and took my Magic Bullet.   I ended up not needing the Magic Bullet - but did need the protien bullets.  I could get Greek Yogurt with fruit, and that filled me up pretty well.   Just remember to drink!

I got my first fill on the 22nd and there was no issues.  They have you drink some water right after to make sure you can swallow okay but I had no limitations on what I could eat because of the fill.  Was put up to phase 4 that day and one week later advanced to phase 5.  About two hours after my fill ate some tilapia and mashed potato with cheese - no issues.  I did feel fuller quicker which was nice.  Just remember to chew chew chew - it sucks more than I can say if you don't.  The put in 2cc's for my first fill - from what I've heard that is an average 1st fill.  Good luck and have a great weekend!  If you are still worried about it - ask her about it while you are at your appointment.
