Question???

[pattyrg15 11]

Every time I get a fill I am told to do liquids for the rest of the day, then mushie for the next day. Does everyone get told the same thing? Why? Just want to get that question out of my head.

Thanks!

I have learned on this forum many different doctors have more opinions that I can keep track of. So it is best to read and learn and maybe ask your dr about something you read on here but ultimatly follow your Dr's advice.

As for the fill order.... my Dr is of the same thought. Liquids for 1 day and mushies for day 2.

My physician has no post-fill restrictions. As with anything - listen to your body.

I can eat normal after a fill. No restrictions.

Mine says liquids for 24 hours after a fill, but I usually go two days on liquids...cause I'm a worry wort.

My dr says the same thing. He says the reason is that your stomach can swell because of the adjustment. I actually add an extra day I there, because I tend to take longer for the swelling to go down.

On my 3rd fill, (I've had 4 now ...yea me) I decided I wasn't gonna follow the Dr.'s orders... I was hungry dangit!! SO I went to subway... I got a 6" veggie sub..on flat bread... (it's a salad on cardboard how bad can it be??) anyway.. I took two bites and it all came back in reverse..

When they do the fill... (per my Dr....) he says that it may cause a slight bit of swelling in the area of the band.. and that you need to give it a day or two to let the swelling reduce before you stress it more.

Or maybe Towanda..(that's my band's name) doesn't like her salad on cardboard.. who knows.. haha!

I can eat normal after a fill too. I usually take it easy and eat something "mushie" just to feel it out. I was too tight once, I knew it immediately.

Who knows? Take it slow, but listen to your body.
