what should I eat the day of my first fill?

[AbbieL 63]

I'm going for my first fill on Wednesday, I'm very excited because I'm getting hungrier every day now! I know I should do liquids day 1 then mushies the second day. My appointment is at 3pm, what should I eat that day, liquids? And what time should I eat lunch that day? I usually have a shake or smoothie for Breakfast and some kind of fish with crackers or Tomato salad for lunch.

My surgeon recommends no solid food after 4 hours prior to a fill, but encourages liquids up to an hour before. However, I have eaten solids up to 2 hours prior, because I was not expecting the fill that day, and did not have any problems. Since then though, I don't take any chances on recheck days and stop eating 4 hours before my appointment. His office is an hour away, so I usually drink a Protein Drink as I am getting on the road and have one in the car for the trip home.

Agree with above. After fill liquids for 24 hours, then mushies for a day and then back to your regular stuff.

My nurse just said to eat light. So I agree with the other posts.

I just got my appointment through for a possible fill and the nurse says no solids 4 hours prior the appt and no liquids one hour before!

Hope this helps

I would ask your doctor as each Dr is different, my doctor told me it didn't make a difference what I ate, as long as it's been about 1 hour between food and fill.

Same here....I never gave it a thought what I ate BEFORE a fill...other than I always made sure I did eat good because I know it will be limited AFTER I get a fill.....
