Eat before fill?



Recommended Posts

I have my first fill tomorrow morning at 8am. I was curious if your docs allowed you to eat before your fill or not? I wasn't told not to eat, but I didn't ask either and now it is too late to call. Not sure what I should do

Mine doc did not care, but like Missy, I did not eat just before.

My doc didn't say either way. I've eaten before and also not eaten. For me, there was no difference. Let us know how it goes.

My doctor doesn't want me to eat four hours before a fill And like you My fills are also in the morning So I never eat because I would have to get up like 3am But I was really hungry about 4 o'clock that afternoon

My doctor allows me to eat prior. He also puts me on liquids for the rest of the day. If they didn't say anything, I'd guess you're fine to eat.

My doc says not to eat 2 hours before. But it sounds from the post it may not matter. I'll still go with what my doc says though. Good luck with your choice.

Thanks everyone! I'm going to play it safe and not eat before.

I will be on the liquid diet for a couple of days afterwards, not looking forward to that again. I just hope the fill helps to cut down my hunger!!

      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.
