Before and after a fill. . .



Recommended Posts

I remember reading somewhere in my doctor's office about a diet to be on before a fill. I knew I should have picked up the paper, but I didn't. . . now I can't really remember what it said. Are any of you on any special diets before and after a fill? if so, what was it? Today is Saturday so I can't really call my doctor's office for advice when my fill appointment is on Monday morning! :-)

I know the Bandit B****es are going to really get me. . . but I love their advice and I'm ready for it! Lol

Same here as wildrose, nothing for 2 hours before a fill, but I have to go through all of the steps like before surgery after the fill for 24 hours each (liquids, mushies, soft, regular).

My office says nothing to eat or drink 2 hours before appointment, and no bread, meat, or Pasta for 24 hours afterwards. Hope this helps you out!

I just keep it soft food just to get the feel of it, if any. Its never been a big deal I can feel some pressure in my chest (right where the band is) for 2 days and don't do bread or Pasta.< /p>

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
