first fill

[malta760 0]

I am getting my first fill on monday and have no idea what to expect..... My Dr told me that I will need to be on liquids and mushies for the first couple of days after the adjustment.... did anyone else do this and was it helpful each time you had a fill ?

thanks for the input.

Hi Chuck,

I usually stick with liquids the first day and by noon the next day I start adding in mushies like mashed potatoes. By the second day I'm eating normally. But with each fill you have to get used to your new restriction. Always proceed cautiously, take small bites, chew, chew, chew and you'll figure out what you can (and can't) eat.

This is just my experience. You should always follow your surgeon's guidelines.

I just had my first fill a few days ago on Monday. I was on liquids the rest of the day and the following day. Now I'm back to normal food, but eating cautiously. I had 5 cc put in my realize band can really feel the difference!

My first couple of fills I just ate mushies for the day or so after, but starting with my 3rd fill when I started getting restriction I did liquids for the rest of the day after my fill than mushies the next..i didnt have any problems. Good luck! Just be careful and take it slow after your fill once a day or so passes you will be able to tell if you can eat solids.

Oh I am SO glad to hear that! I am hoping I can feel a difference after my first fill!!! I was worried that it might not make a difference at all. Do you get filled with a lot less? Right now I can eat ANYTHING!
