I think the important thing is doing liquids as opposed to solid food while your band settles down after the fill. I think you could have some creamed Soup (no chunks) or something similar to help with the hunger. My doctor didn't even require liquids after a fill. But call your doctor in the morning for clarification.

After a fill you are only supposed to have Clear Liquids for 24 hours then resume your normal diet. chicken broth, sugarfree pops, Jello, apple juice. Thats about it and Water.< /p>

Every doctor's instructions are different. My doc told me just to "take it easy" for 12 hours after a fill.

In my experience, however, I need to be careful for a few days until I get a sense of how much restriction I have. Chew very well, wait between bites, etc.

My doctor is also in the "take it easy" camp. Now that I have pretty good restriction, I stick with FULL liquids (including Protein shakes) after a fill for a day or so. Early in the game, I had no problem with soft foods.

      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.
