Liquids after fills

[zetajenn5 0]

First of all, can someone explain to me why we're on liquids after a fill? I'm on liquids for 2 days after a fill and I could eat a horse. And second, anyone have any suggestions of what to eat? I'm tired of chicken broth and I'm starving!

Liquids after a fill must be doc-specific. I'm not on liquids after a fill. I think docs that do that are wanting you to make sure your band is not irritated from the fill, perhaps.

I'd do Protein shakes or smoothies if it were me. chicken broth would leave me starving too.

I can't remember where I saw this, I think it was another bandster that recommended it, but it is a website with a lot of shake recipes, they sound yummy.

I do get tight for a day or two after a fill, just from the fill process and my Dr wants two days of FULL liquids, so I have Protein shakes and Campbell's butternut squash Soup.

Do you have to be on Clear Liquids or full liquids? More choices I think with "full".

I'm on Clear Liquids but I'd rather have full!!! I've read other posts where people aren't even on liquids so I think I might go to full!
