Sherrie 0 Posted December 21, 2005 How long do you stay on liquids following a fill? I have a fill 3 days before Christmas. I would like to be able to consume at least a little normal food on the big day :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Road Queen 0 Posted December 21, 2005 When I had my first fill, my dr had no restrictions on what I ate afterwards. After my fourth fill, they now have 24 hours of liquids. I had my last fill in the morning and did liquids the rest of the day and mushies the day after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted December 21, 2005 I would check with your doctor's office as each one has different rules. My doctor has me do liquids the remainder of the day of the fill and back to solids the next day. You should follow your doctors rules though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firecallie 2 Posted December 21, 2005 What is the purpose of going to liquids after a fill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paula 4 Posted December 23, 2005 Jini, When we get a "fill", the stomach is squeezed a bit more - and a bit of swelling usually occurs from this procedure. Most doctors require us to have liquids for the first 24 hours, then soft food for the day after that - just so we dont harm anything. Repeating what Betty said earlier - the patient needs to ask their surgeon about post fill diets - each doc has their own rules! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAYGERL05 0 Posted December 31, 2005 My Dr said 2 days liquids 2 days musshy and then soft foods. I have noticed I seem to have a stricter dr than others. I had to wait 10 weeks before my first fill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
