Hey Ladies!
So I went to get a tiny fill, it's been 2 months since I have had one. I started getting hungier than normal so I called and they were able to fit me in.
The NP menitoned the recall on the needles, she said the old needle you could see the saline squirting out so she is glad their was a recall. She was like how did you know? I mentioned I follow a lot of blogs. The needle was bigger but felt the same.
So after every fill it's 2 days of clear liquids and 2 days of full liquids. Does this seem extreme to anyone? I can swallow pills still but I need to be on clear liquids?
That's more extreme than my doc - he doesn't do clear liquids as a restriction...just says full liquids for a couple days if you're tight or for the rest of the day if you're not.
ReplyDeleteThat does seem a little extreme, my doctor just says liquids for the rest of the day when you get a fill.
ReplyDeleteI just started following your blog and just wanted to say how great it is! Thanks for sharing. :-)
Um...my doc says liquids 2 days before and 2 days after...if he is lucky I give him one before and one after!
ReplyDeleteThat does seem a little extreme.. mine is liquids 2 days and then mushies 2 days..
ReplyDeletehmmm, I don't know what my restriction will be yet. i get my first fill in about a month.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had the worst post-op diet I've ever seen, but even my doc only does two days of liquids, then ease back to food. I hadn't heard about the recall yet, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat is rough - mine lets us eat and tells us to go to mushies if we have a problem.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're doing better.
That sounds extreme and unnecessary. I do 2 days full liquids then 2 days mushies - but I managed to eat a slice of pizza on day 4 this time! I would skip the clear liquids part...
ReplyDeleteMy doctor is worse, he says 2 days clear liquids, 2 days full liquids and 2 days of mushies. What I actually do is 2 days of mushies. So far so good.
ReplyDeleteI have liquids the day of the fill, mushies the next day and then full food after that.
ReplyDeleteMy NP always said, "if you can swallow pills, you can eat chicken." So, yeah, I think it sounds extreme!
ReplyDeleteWow, bananas!! Why BEFORE the fill such extremity?? Hmmm... sometimes these docs are more interested in not having you bother them with your issues, so they go to extremes of prevention. You have to do what seems right while trying to fit into your doc's instructions it seems.
ReplyDeleteFor perspective: I wasn't told to do anything different before a fill -- but after, (my 1st is 2/16) 2 days liquids followed by 2 days mushies-- then regular food.
Good luck!
