My doc has me drink liquids the rest of the day after the fill, mushies the next day until noon on the third day. Is this what most docs do?

My doc usually lets us eat what we can tolerate...although there have been times that I will do liquids for the remainder of the day. Espically the "fuller" I get.

I have not been banded yet, but when I went in to visit with the nurse, she said that the doctors doing my surgery suggests doing liquids for 48 hours after a fill to let the band & stomach pouch rest and heal after the fill. Every doctor is going to be different. You will know what you can handle & what you can't after a fill.

My doc says 24 hours after a fill.

That's pretty much what mine says to do.

I had my fill five days ago and yesterday I could hardly keep anything down. This morning I couldn't even drink the Carnation Instant Breakfast. I don't understand because two days ago I was able to eat one piece of homeade pizza with vegetables. Has anyone else experienced this?

My doc says 24 hours of liquids. However, the last time I was there he said I could eat mushies and stuff too. He doesn't seem to be too strict.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
