Had my 2nd fill yesterday. Had some soup yesterday and that went ok. Today I am having pain everytime i try to drink anything. Called the surgeon office and they said their could be some swelling. Is this normal?

Barb, I sent you Mona's personal e-mail address into your personal e-mail. It would be better getting advice from a proffestional other than a laymen. Mona's a nurse. Keep me informed. Your Friend, Jill

Thank you for the email address. I am feeling better this morning, I am able to keep sips of water down without pain. Guess there was some swelling that just needs to heal. So it will be liquids for a few days. Maybe that will get me to losing again. I told Stuart this morning, this better be worth it or I will be really upset. I took today off of work and am being really lazy pampering myself.

Hi Barb, it is normal to have swelling after a fill. You may have to remain on liquids for a few meals till the swelling goes down. Don't push eating solid foods if it is too painful. Get some fluid out if you can't eat solid food by Monday. Mona

Thank you for the advice. I did have some soup broth for lunch and so far so good. Then later tonight I had an carnation instant breakfast and I think maybe the chocolate in it didn't agree with me. Or maybe it was too cold. Yesterday when all the problems started with me I was trying to have a low card slimfast that was really cold and was chocolate. I think this episode will turn me off of chocolate which could be a good thing I guess. The pain is gone though Barb
