My doc says 24 hrs after fill, Clear Liquids only. Then on to protien shakes for 2 days. Then mushies.. and so on. He was okay if I wanted to stay on protien shakes up to 5 days. This is just to make sure the swelling has gone down.

My doc. says 24hrs liquid, then mushies for 24. I have had trouble after most of my fills. Think I will go ahead and stay on liquids another day or 2 after my next fill.

My doctor is the same as yours... 72 hours of clear liquids. She does allow the Protein bullets as clear liquid, though.

Honestly, I was never able to make it the full 72 hours on just clear liquids until my most recent fill (my 4th fill). After all my other fills, I'd go about 24 hours on clear liquids, but then get so darn hungry I had to progress on. So, I just took it slow and had Soup, yogurt, cottage cheese first. I never had a problem w/anything getting stuck until my 4th fill.

My doc says liquids for the rest of the day after a fill, then cautiously back to regular foods the next day-- BUT she really stressed to listen to my body move slowly (start soft and see how it goes). She told me that some doctors are really strict which liquids, then mushies, etc because she wanted me to know that the swelling can be a real problem sometimes. (it wasn't for me this time, but it was my first fill.)

My doc is full liquids the 24 hours after a fill, the 2nd day mushies then back to normal. I haven't had any trouble yet (knock on wood) and am at 6.7 cc in a 14 cc band. After the first 3 fills, it's usually only .1 or .15 cc per time and it does feel like a lot.

My fill was yesterday. My instructions said Clear Liquids 24 hours. Day 2 & 3 clear liquids and Protein Drinks. After the 3 days of liquids then 5 days mushy, then return to normal as tolerated.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
