 At my last appointment for a fill a few months ago my doctor made a joke that some of her female patients had to go on liquids during their period. The first cycle after that fill was fine no difference, the second month I could definitely tell there was a difference. And this month I am still having a hard time getting solids down 4 days after period......Is this normal??? Or do I need to high tale it to her office (it is 200 miles away) Anyway - I don't want to do any permanent damage by trying to eat at night and getting stuck. Almost 2 years out and dinner is really my only solid meal, because I have really gotten used to 2 shakes a day and then a balanced diner. Any thoughts are SO welcome, I am starting to get worried!

I would stick to liquids for about 5 more days and apply a heat pad to your chest at night, or drink some liquid Tylenol and if you are still having a hard time getting solids down I would visit the surgeon for a small unfill. Good luck.

I'm definitely like that...I just eat very small amounts and very sloooowww.  There are a few days that it is pretty much just liquids.  Hang in there.  After all the swelling goes down and is "flushed" out you'll be "normal" again for a few weeks...doesn't happen to me every month as I guess hormones can vary from month to month...
