Eat before a fill? Need quick reply!



Recommended Posts

I will have my first fill today and have to travel 2 hours to the Doctor.

I didn't think to ask about this until last night and now it's too late.

I have a 1:00 pm. appt. of course I want to eat at 11:30.

Does it make a difference if you eat or not?:hungry: I tried to search the answer and it kept coming back that I didn't use enough words for my search!!!

Great Success to ALL!

I have been told not to eat two hours prior to a fill. But I am sure like everything else - all doctors are different.

Hope that helps!

I have eaten right before a fill. Call your doc and ask what they recommend!

My doctor also says no food 2 hours before a fill. When I've flown for my fills, I've gone straight from the airport to the clinic. So far, I've been able to eat lunch on the plane (I swear, how they have a flight that leaves at 9AM Eastern and lands at 10AM Pacific qualifies for "lunch" instead of Breakfast is something I haven't figured out yet.......) and still stay w/in my 2 hour "no food" window :confused:

      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.
