Question about 1st fill 2morrow



Recommended Posts

Hello ladies and gentlemen!! Well I am finally getting my first fill tomorrow and it could not come any sooner!! Well I am trying to figure out if it is ok to eat before hand. It will be a 4 1/2 hour drive one way and I will have to eat something. Is it generally ok to eat beforehand or should I only do liquids? I have tried to look this up and I tried calling the office but it was closed. So now I am looking to the other experts, all my new friends. Thanks so much!

Each doc is different, I would call the doc in the am and to be on the safe side only drink something. My docs office does not allow any food only Clear Liquids before a fill . But others allow you to eat before a fill.

So If you can try to call even if its on the way . My fills are always at 3pm to i cant eat anything all day long on my fill days

HTH

I went last week to my first fill and ask my nurse about eating right before the fill. She said that you want something on your stomach before a fill as long as you don't overindulge. Happy fill!!

I was told it didn't matter, but I don;t eat because I know they'll weigh me first. I know that's a dumb reason, but I just can't stop myself from changing that. My appts are in the a.m..

After the fill, they do want me to stay on full liquids for two days and then soft food two days.

You definitely don't want to have food in your pouch when going for a fill. Try learning from your doc what he recommends (or from someone else at the office). But it is good to be well hydrated so drink lots of Fluid the 24 hrs. before.

all the best,

I just had my first fill today. I was instructed not to eat or drink anything after 12pm the night before. Now I am on liquids for 2 days.

Im on clears for 3 liquids for 3 mushies for 3 and semi solids for 3 after every fill. If i ask he'll let me do liquids for 6 days.

But it works . !

LMAO thanks. Some people call me nuts for going with a doc that has that post fill diet . But for one if im having problems with a fill after 3 days or more I am pretty sure im too tight by then the swelling has gone down and i know its nothing i have ate . his method makes sense to me and it really is easy after the first time doing it . I can do liquids for WEEKS now if i have to LOL

Ok I had my fill yesterday. It was so much easier than I anticipated. He did not care if I ate something before I came in as long as it was small. He then put me on 24 hours of liquids then back to normal. He only put in 2 cc's and I had only 1 cc in there to start. So that's my story. Everything feels fine and I am excited to finally start this lifestyle. I did eat some eggs today and they went down fine, almost too fine if you ask me. I figure this is a long road to start and I am just going to take it one day at a time. Thanks again!!

My fills are usually in the a.m. My doc recommends I don't eat anything before I come in, so usually I don't eat anything after dinner the night before a fill. Be sure to check with your doctor first though & good luck!

      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?

      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.
