After fill diet... What does your doctor have u do?



Recommended Posts

I got my first fill today woo hoo lol. 3.5 ml in my 10ml band. I am just curious what other doctors have you do for your diet after a fill since preop diets seem to vary so much doctor to doctor. My doctor has me on Clear Liquids for two days then a day of soft then back to a regular diet. How about you?

I usually go in for my fills around lunch time. He asks me to drink fluids for a couple hours and then back to normal eating, softer items though. Have had 2 fills with no complications. As you said, they are all different. Good luck!!

I had my first fill yesterday too, I was told liquids for a day or two depending on how I'm feeling. Then soft foods for another day or two, then back to normal foods. I'm feeling good, was starving yesterday. Hoping the fill helps, they say it can take 2 weeks until u feel the restriction.

Solids up to 4 hours before the fill, liquids up to 1 hour before, then full liquids for 24 hours, mushy/soft for 24 hours, then back to regular. Now that I have enough fills to get stuck, back to liquids or very softs for 24 hours after being stuck.

I hadn't heard that it may take two weeks to feel restriction. I felt restriction before I had my fill but it did not last more then an hour and I was starving! I can't wait to start my soft foods tomorrow... hate liquids!

      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.
