What About Before A Fill??

[Lu_11 52]

I know after a fill the 2 days of liquids and then a day of mushy. But what about before a fill?? My paperwork says nothing for a few hours before ... it there a type of food to avoid the day of a fill?

My fill is on Monday and I am going out of town camping that Friday. I have read to stay where you can get medical attention for 2 weeks after a fill... should I reschedule my fill??

I can't believe I am a year on this journey and still have so many questions.

Clear Liquids that morning, nothing 4 hours before the fill....at least for my doc.

I was never told anything special before a fill. By Friday you should be good. Don't try anything too big or hard to chew on your trip. I would pack a few Protein Shakes just in case. I went overnight weekend camping after my second fill ( fill ob wednesday- canping on saturday) with my daughters brownies troop. I packed a few premade shakes and some Protein Powder. I drink them if I thought I might have trouble with the camping meal. I also had a cooler with Greek yogurt and hummus. I did ok. It was easier for my to stick to liquids and soft foods then worry about getting stuck in the woods. I made it thru weekends no problem. No one even realized I was having my Protein shakes in my sports bottle. Good luck. Just be prepared and you will be fine.

There aren't any requirements for my days before my fill. I usually only do a Protein Shake in the morning because I get weighed before my fill and I want it to be low. I then have to be on liquids for 24 hours and then back to normal. As long as you are good within 48 hours and can eat ok, I can't imagine you wouldn't be ok after that. Your trip will be fine. Just take precautions.

I'm not allowed solid foods 4 hours before a fill..as far as being close to a doc after a fill...that is a must for me..EVERYTIME I have gotten a fill I have had to go back in for at least 2 unfills within the first 2 weeks.

Thanks for your help. I will for sure bring some shakes with me. I am close to the zone so just getting a small fill.
