Eat or Drink before a fill?



Recommended Posts

Hi Folks, I have a quick question...tomorrow I go for my second fill but it is not until 3p. Can I eat or drink before 3p or do I need to be totally empty? I forgot to ask the office when I made the appt. Thanks for the feedback!

All my appts. are in the afternoon and I've always did like I do everyday, eat and drinking should not be a problem.

You should call your doctor to Make sure. My doctor advises no food or drink 5 hours before the fill. But, touch base with yours to make sure.

My DR said no solids 2hrs before but liquids are o.k He also told me one day that lots of people eat alot before a fill because they are goung to be on liquids the next few days. He said that they always kow when you do because he can tell with the fluro. Since then I always fast beforea fill I just dont want him to think Im a pig .

getnthere, that is too funny! I would think the same way. In fact, my fill is today at 3p and all day I have been taking it easy on the food for the same reason!!

My doctor never told me any restrictions before a fill. Maybe that is why I have had inflammation at times after a fill.???

I asked my doc and he said not to eat for one hour before a fill. I guess every Dr is different....

I was instructed not to take anything by mouth (including water) after midnight the day of the fill.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
