First fill today - food question



Recommended Posts

So I'm scheduled for my fill at 11:30 - what time should I have my last meal before they do the fill or doesn't it matter?

Awesome, thanks! Just got back....put 2.4cc in (had nothing before). I'm excited to see a change, hopefully feel more restriction. Surprised to see 2.8lbs loss though but I'll take it! I can also resume regular exercise which is awesome!!! Thanks for support ;)

I had no idea that we were not supposed to have food prior to a filler. My "nut" LOL told me no such thing or maybe they just assumed I knew...It was my first filler 2 wks ago at 3CC but I'm still hungry - very frustrated.

Same happened to me I had my 1st fill last Monday, they were supposed to email me but never did I tryed calling but no answer then finally Monday morning on way into London 2 hours before my fill they answered the phone I only rang to confirm the adress then just said by the way can I eat before and they said I could but it had to be 4 hours before my fill ???¹ well too late cos I had just eaten now I feel like I e wasted money? Ahhhh!! I'm eating the same as before I had a fill!

Every surgeon is different. Mine says to eat like normal for meals but nothing except liquids for two hours prior, and all liquids the remainder of the day. Return to mushies next day and regular food the day after that.

      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.
