Post-Fill Diet???

Brandi · October 14, 2003

Well, I had my first fill today....I have been so nervous for the past 3 or 4 days, just not knowing what exactly to expect. But all went well. I forgot to ask if there is a period of time after my fill that I should not eat. He didn't say, but he was extremely busy and I don't know if he forgot to give me the instructions or if there are no instructions.

Can anyone share what (if any) their post-fill diet was? Thanks:)

Thanks Shelly-

I also had heard no eating the day of fill so I didn't eat all morning (my appt wasn't until 2:00 in the afternoon) and when I got there he said I could have eaten!!! But I ended up calling him and asking about post-fill and he said Clear Liquids for the rest of the day and then back to normal foods. Thanks for your info though.

I LIKE YOUR DOCS DIET BETTER!

THE REASON MY DR HAS A MINI POST OP DIET IS BECAUSE AFTER THE FILL YOU MAY HAVE SWELLING AND TO USE THAT WEEK TO GET USED TO YOUR NEW FILL- INCASE YOU HAVE TO CHEW MORE, TAKE SMALLER BITES ETC...

SO CAN YOU TELL A DIFFERENCE WITH THIS FILL?

I GO FOR MY 3RD FILL ON NEXT THURSDAY! I HOPE TO GET SOME RESTRICTION. I AM AT 2.2 CC AND REALLY DONT HAVE VERY MUCH TO NONE AT ALL!

I can feel a little restriction, but not much. Like this morning, I tried to eat an omelette and only about 6 or 7 small bites went down. But I feel less restriction tonight. It's wierd. I definately need another fill. I'm at 1cc now and I go back on Nov. 18th for another. Until then, I'm just gonna try and "trick" myself into thinking I have restriction:)
