I had a really hard time on liquids after my first fill too! My doctor says 24 hours on liquids, then proceed with normal foods with caution.

my Nurse has us as follows : Clear Liquids after fill, crystal light, Water , benefiber, sf popcicles

day 1 still Clear Liquids

day 2 protien shakes x3

day 3 protien shakes x3

day 4 shakes, mush dinner

day 5 normal, which for me is shakes, dinner and a snack during the night, and sf popcicles

I just had my 3rd fill on thursday, and i know how you feel about the hunger, im pmsing so its even worse !!! I today (sat) ate some Soup and chicken salad for dinner and was very content. i had 3oz of curry split pea Soup and my chicken salad. I also had a bite of salad .

Hope this helps !

I had to do liquids after my fill too, two days and it was so much harder than pre/post op. They wanted me to stay on mushies too for 2 days, then ground/chopped for 2 days. I got up to one and a half days of mushies and went to regular fiod

I didn't have a liquid restriction after my first fill. I was told I might need liquids or mushies, but could eat whenever I could.

It's so weird seeing what different doctors tell people to do. I've had 8 fills and 2 un fills.. so i guess This ismy 6th fill and I'm just not doing well tonight I really want a peice of cheese.. just one.. it's ridiculous. I haven't snacked today but I find it VERY hard not to snack at work because everyone around me dose... that's why I joined this site.. I need help staying on track...

Best of luck..

I got my first fill about 30 hours ago. I did fine until right now. Now I want FOOD!! That's why I logged on... to see if anyone else was able to eat food at this point after the fill. It makes sense to me to eat as my body is telling me... so long as I don't overdo it, and actually listen to my body. So now that I know other people can eat soft food this soon after a fill, I'm going to, too! (Yes, cheating is bad, but so is hunger!)

I have been filled about 5 times and some removed 3 times. I'm either in the yellow or red. Never green. Yesterday they did my 5th fill & believe that they got my sweet spot but I don't know yet. I'm sensitive to fills so doc told me 48 hours liquids. Usually Its only 24 hours and 24 hours mushies. I had some very watered down cream of Tomato Soup for Vitamins & TASTE. I'm hungry but with this Soup it helps greatly.

I just pray that I don't have to go back for another "unfill"

Usually I can eat a lot or nothing. So we Shall see

Good luck :)

I had my second fill on Tuesday and my surgeon follows a strick eating schedule after a fill.

3 days of Clear Liquids

4 days of full liquids

7 days of soft food

So you do not resume a regular diet for two weeks after your fill. This is so the pouch and stomach has a chance for the inflammation to go down and to now be grinding away digesting food.< /strong>

Hope this helps some!

      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.
