cheryl2586 3,053 Posted November 4, 2012 I never heard of that. I dont eat the day of the fill but I never heard of that one. I would have to question him when you go why he would do that to you. 1 bandedsheree reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

♥LovetheNewMe♥ 1,216 Posted November 4, 2012 Never heard of 3 days liquids prior to fill, my surgeon makes me be NPO for 4 hours prior to fill and a very light Breakfast, Protein Shake. Then post fill I am on liquids clear and Protein Shakes for 48 hours. 3 days prior to fill would be 72 hours prior to the day of fill, post fill you start counting from the time of fill and than 72 hours post fill. It is sometimes just easier to say I am getting a fill on Wednesday and Son, Mon and Tues I will be on liquids and Wed-Thurs and Friday I will be on liquids and I yeah I get to eat on Saturday. Sorry, not sure this is what you wanted to hear. 1 bandedsheree reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 6, 2012 I never heard of the reasoning to do liquid before a fill.... I would be curious to know why. My dr requires liquids after a fill for 24 hrs then mushies for the next 24 hrs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted November 6, 2012 I am the same as Floridays? Never heard of liquids only pre-fill? Is it your first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shelby33ky 0 Posted November 8, 2012 My DR says no food four hours prior to fill and then liquids for 48 hours. I have had my band for five years and saw three DR's in three different states, and all have been pretty close to this timeline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyvic 226 Posted November 8, 2012 I'm not supposed to eat five hours before a fill, and fu liquids for three days after a fill working into foods I can tolerate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Summerrain 520 Posted November 8, 2012 I've never been told not to drink or eat before a fill, I always go in early in the mornings so I don't eat as I'm not hungry but I do drink my Water and have had no problems. I am required to do liquids for a day and if all is fine then progress to mushies then solids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
