Tomorrow marks my first fill. I am a little nervous but I want to make sure I follow the protocal correctly.

I know you have to go to full liquids for two days after a fill but my question is PRIOR to the fill can I eat normally? Like tomorrow morning can I eat Breakfast with solid foods or should i not eat anything or should I only drink liquids? Can someone please let me know from their experience what is best.

My fill appt is at 8 am so if I need to not eat anything that won't be too difficult but I don't want to make a mistake and have a problem without realizing it. Thanks!

I had my first fill yesterday. My doctor's office just said a 2 hour fast prior to the fill. A really neat post I read said also to make sure you stay WELL hydrated prior (this really helped me) and not to have TOO big a dinner the night before. Good luck!

I can eat normally before the fill, but I have to do liquids the remainder of the day. I go back to solids the next day per my doctors orders.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
