Eating/Drinking before a fill???



Recommended Posts

I have my 2nd fill today at 12:00. Any suggestions on what I should eat or drink today before my fill? My first fill was pretty early in the morning and I didn't eat or drink anything. I don't think I can do that until 12:00 today.

I eat before my fills. Maybe chili or something hearty pre-fill. I would make sure to eat about an hour before the fill. My worry is that I would still have food, in my upper part of my stomach that, once-filled, may have trouble getting through the stoma (opening).

I've not been told not too but I agree, I'd prefer not to have eaten for a good while before so the upper part of my stomach is empty.

I was filled on an empty stomach. Only guessing about this now, but it seems as though having a full stomach could cause problems in the ways the other ladies have described, or by ending up with a fill that's just too loose once the food has passed through. Could be wrong about that though. Ask your doctor what he suggests - that would be your best bet.
