Eating right before a fill???

[crazycatlady 0]

Is it OK to eat right b/4 a fill? I'm HUNGRY with minimual restriction but will be on the usual liquids/mushies for the next 4 days. Anyone know??

I am not supposed to eat or drink anything four hours before a fill.

I would ask your doctor.. I was only allowed Clear Liquids after midnight... until 24 hours after I got my fill.

I had a fill monday ( did not know it was gonna happen was going in to just get weight ) And i think i eat about 1 hour and 1/2 before i got the fill. I asked the doc before he did it and he said... no problem ! I think every doc is different. best fo luck!

Hi,

I have had only 2 fills so far. The rule at my Dr.s office is only liquids for the rest of the day after the fill. anything goes before.

But my personal experience was this ~

1st fill, I did not eat anything before (did not have time that morning), ended up being so hungry the rest of the day, but made it through.

2nd fill, made a point to eat a sandwich about 3 hours before, just so I would not be so hungry after. My doc fill me, had me drink some Water and I (excuse me) threw it up and had what I guess is a PB. So he unfilled me, and filled me again with less. Its been 3 days since that and I don't think the fill was enough. I really think that 1st fill would have been o.k. if I had NOT eaten solid food before.

My next fill, I am going there on an empty stomach!!

My docs rule is no food 2 hours before. But as stated, all doctors are different. I was not on liquids after. Went out to dinner with my family, but I did take it easy. Good luck!!

My doc tells me to not eat or drink anything two hours prior to a fill. Afterward I'm on liquids progressing to mushies for 24 hours. After that whatever my body will allow.

My doctor seems to be one of the less conservative among those who post here. I have no restriction on eating before a fill, or after. However, I always choose to go for my fills on an empty stomach (easy for me, I usually make an 8:00 a.m. appt. for my fills). Find out what your doctor requires and follow that path. Good luck with your fill!

I ate a ton at 1:00 and then had my first fill at 3:30 (I had forgot about the appt) I was still kinda full when I went to the appt and my fill went just fine. But mine was an accident.
