I'm just wandering what kind of diet other bandster's follow after a fill. I am doing 2 days liquid, then 2 days soft, then regular.

My doctor states for me. 2-day liquids, 2-days mushies, and then regular

For once, Mine's a little more lenient! LOL

1 day liquid 1 day mushie 1 day soft then normal. That is, if I EVER have restriction! :grouphug:

I just got my fill today and my doctor is a little bit stricter, I have to do 3 days clear liquid, then one week all liquids, then one full week soft foods, then regular foods.

Doctor Teel only ask that you don't go out of town for 2 weeks after a fill. Other than that you can eat as normal.

I am getting my first fill tomorrow at 2pm, I know after ur fill 2 days liquid and then 2 days mushie then regular foods. But what about right before the fill? Should I eat or just drink liquids? They didnt mention anything to me about it.. but i want to make sure.. this fill is 2 months late. My dr. was on leave.. 2 months of no weight loss :) but no weight gain :grouphug: which is good. But want to look good for this summer! :mellow: anyway thanks!

Mariposa:

I'd think you don't want to have eaten just before a fill but that's just me and thinking it through...if you have already had a fill and are getting some restriction you don't want to tinker with the size of your stoma (hole between pouch and the rest of your stomach)....and even if it's your 1st and you just ate it MAY make you nauseated (people react in different ways) so I'd say, to be on the safe side, no eating 2-3 hours before, and only Water etc up to 15-30 min before. IF you have time though it would be safest to call your doc. He may have NO restrictions. My ideas are just that...ideas. Use only as a last resort! :tongue2:

Pre-fill - Liquids only two hours prior to fill

Post-fill - Liquids two days, mushies two days, then regular diet.

My dr. says no food for 4 hours before a fill, nothing to drink 1 hour before. Then I am on liquids for 2 days, mushies for 2, then normal food after that.

Every doctor has their own way of doing things. Please be sure to follow YOUR doctor's orders.

I am going nuts, I want to eat something besides mashed potatos and oatmeal, I have been living on broth and Protein shakes, (which I dont really like) at least next week is soft foods.lol.

I started soft foods today,yay, at least now I can have tuna fish or eggs. these few weeks were rough, it was easier when you first get the band because you aren't feeling that good, now that I feel good, it was harder for me to stick.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
