After A Lap Band Fill What Do You Eat???



Recommended Posts

My surgeon says 2 days clear and 2 days full liquids after fills. So he fills on Wed. I can eat real food on Sunday. I only use chewable multi-vitamins and melt in the mouth or very small other Vitamins. I don't get heartburn from either of them.

For my first two fills, I was told no restrictions, eat normally. For every fill after that though, was told only liquids for 1-2 days, then back to normal food. I can tell you from experience, follow those directions!!! The first time I didn't and got stuck and was in pain. Tried to eat the wrong thing. Your band gets tighter and it's swollen and harder for food to pass the first day or two. Let it rest.

I stay on liquids for a few days because I get a lot of swelling after a fill. I dont take Vitamins because I am not Vitamin deficient. I eat a balance meal Breakfast, lunch and dinner and rarely eat junk my vitamin levels are fine. I think if your not vitamin deficient your just wasting money to have expensive pee lol

DEPENDS ON THE FILL ! iF IT'S A TIGHT ONE, THEN IT'S 3 DAYS Fluid, 2 DAYS MUSHIES, THEN TRY food.< /p>

Regular 1 day fluid, 1 day mushies, then try food.

We are put on Flintstones COMPLETE/ Choline chewable s. 1 chewable 3 X a day.

The CHOLINE is a part of Vitamin B, and we all need that.

As long as I have been Banded, I have never had a problem, and they keep me peppy.

I have tried Sam's Club, and Costco's with CHOLINE, but it just doesn't have the kick.

Go to the Flintstones website, and print out a coupon, and then pick them up on sale.

I do that, and I buy the big bottles on ebay..

Good Luck, and MERRY CHRISTMAS !

Shirley.

My doctor puts me on liquids only for 24 hours, and then careful eating after that. For the first 24 hours, I have Optifast shakes, Soup, coffee, etc.

Right after a fill I go get something very ice cold to drink so it helps reduce the chance of swelling from the fill. After that I stick with liquids for the rest of that day and then just proceed with caution ......

I also have a cold beverage right after. Then my doctor requires 2 days liquid and 2 days mushie. I push it a bit if I feel ok. But I don't have much restriction yet.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
