First Fill Question

[Guest Lucky_Star]

Greetings Everyone ~~

I've not posted on this board but have been regularly visiting. My questions is that my surgery was on October 2nd and I am scheduled for my first fill on December 5th. I wanted to wait until after Thanksgiving because my husband is the only one who knows I had the surgery. I just don't want to deal with our families' criticism and be put under the microscope.

Back to my question, my doctor's office said that it is not necessary for me to be on a restricted diet (ex. clear/full liquids) pre- & post- the fill. What are your doctor's recommendations??

Thank you in advance.

Hi Lucky,

We're glad you came out of lurkdom! I'm sure you'll get lots of responses to this question.

My doctor just recommended not eating Breakfast on the day of the fill, although liquids would be OK. As for afterwards he said to stick to liquids for a day and mushy food the next day. I think that's about what you'll be feeling like doing anyway. It's really a pretty weird sensation!

Have a wonderful holiday, and remember, even with no fill your band can make itself known if you eat too fast. So take care and chew well.

Gobble gobble, slowly!!
