bluegem 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Should I be eating before a fill? How long before a fill should I stop eating? is there a rule of thumb.....what works best for most?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetviolet 0 Posted July 19, 2007 eating before a fill is not the problem!! It's eating after the fill thats the same old challenge--back to liquid/mushie for a few days!! I alway have my fill at 7am --clear liquids for the rest of the day...never had a fill after any food so don't have the answer as to food before the fill--will be looking for the answer also. Good question!! Glad you asked!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cattiff 1 Posted July 19, 2007 I am going for my first fill this afternoon. My doctor's office told me to make sure that you stop eating 3 hours prior to your fill and to eat lite so that there is no food in your pouch for the fill. Good luck. I am nervous as heck ut will see how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynn1964 0 Posted July 20, 2007 My doctor always says nothing after midnight for my 6:30a.m. fills. He also wants to make sure there is nothing in the pouch when he does the fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ariel 1 Posted July 20, 2007 You know whats interesting my doctor never told me. I have just eaten and then had a fill with no probs. So I'm interested in seeing what other people have to say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monk 0 Posted July 21, 2007 I read on this site not to eat before a fill and my doctor says to stay on liquids for the day I get the fill, so far I don't eat the morning before a fill and stay on liqiuds the day of a fill and I've been just fine. Hope this helps, Monk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluegem 0 Posted July 22, 2007 Hi All... thanks for responding... I asked my Dr...and he has said basically the same... eat light and not RIGHT before you go..... but there isn't a strict rule there.... just common sense... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allwright 0 Posted July 22, 2007 I was told to not eat but drinking was ok. Liquids for 24 then soft and back on to solids. I just chose not to eat or drink as I usually do not that early and they always weighed me when I went for office visit. It makes sense not to have solids in stomach before fill. You have to drink Water after fill to make sure it stays down. If it doesn't then everything you ate probably will reappear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliegeraci 7 Posted July 24, 2007 Mine makes you stop eating about 2 hours before a fill. I stick to liquids for 24 hours, then mushies, then solids. There you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
