carolann0117 5 Posted May 26, 2011 Got my second fill this past Saturday and was on liquids since then. My doc suggested to be on liquids for two weeks. I found it almost impossible when I had my first fill and made it about a week and a half before I caved and started eating my normal stuff. Well... I tried to "do it my way"... and low and behold... I was wrong. My husband made some great ham steaks for dinner and I took a bigger bite than I should have. WOW... that was a huge MISTAKE. I guess I should have tried something in the mushy category first. NASTY... I really learned a lesson!!! Well... I did learn that I definitely have the most restriction than I've ever felt..... maybe I'll be lucky and find this to be my "sweet spot". I will now Forever take small bites and chew like crazy before I swallow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcee 3,341 Posted May 26, 2011 I have never heard of having to be on liquids for 2 weeks after a fill . My Dr recommends liquids for the day of the fill then mushy/soft foods for a couple of days afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandy1 1 Posted May 26, 2011 My DR doesnt require liquids after a fill. I was just told if solids were uncomfortable then to go back to liquids or mushies for a day or two. I have experienced two stuck episodes and I hope I don't go for number three! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B-52 7,113 Posted May 26, 2011 My Dr. says 24hrs of no solids. As far as getting stuck, you start to learn what foods to stay away from. I agree, bread for me is no more. So long to those great sandwiches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
