what to do after fill



Recommended Posts

Hello my friends, what does the doctors tell you to do after getting a fill, mine said liquids first day, mushies second day, solids on third day, just curious if you were told the same thing and why do we need to do this, thanks

Mine says liquids the first 24-48 hours after a fill, then progress as I feel comfortable.

The reason they do this is because a fill can often make your stomach swell, giving it time to calm and the swelling to go down before putting real food into it again.

My Dr requires liquids for the rest of the day then mushies for 24 hrs... and he suggests this due to the swelling which may occur since the band is tightening around the stomach.

I spend the rest of the day on liquids, day 2 on full liquids, day 3 on mushies and then should be on solids by the evening of day 3.

About the same here, but the thing I JUST really understood with my last fill is that I am swollen and feel really restricted. When it went down I didn't feel it anymore. BUT, I am eating much slower and taking smaller bites and get satisfied so much easier and without problem.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
