Eating after a fill



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering what kind of diet everyone is on after they get filled. I got my first one today (2.5cc) and was told Clear Liquids for today, reg liquids for 2-3 days then puree for 2-3 days then the soft for 2-3 then reg foods again. 9 days seems like a long time. How long are you on a special diet after a fill? Is my dr being overly cautious or does everyone take this long to get back to reg foods after a fill?

For me it is two days liquid, two days mushies then cautiously proceed back to solids.

Wow everyone's diet after getting a fill sounds so much better than mine. My dr told me liquids for 10days after a fill. It's exactly what I had to do after I got the band put in. Sounds a little strict right? But I have tried eating a couple of times since my fill (which was last Wed) but it's been hard. I've actually had my food come back up 3 different times. So, I've been sticking to the liquid as much as I can.

My doc's post fill diet depends on how aggressive he thinks it is and how restricted we are. The more restriction, the longer the post fill diet.

I had my first fill last Thursday. My doctor told me liquids for the rest of the day, soft foods on Friday and regular food on Saturday. This may change on the next fill because I don't hardly have any restriction. I am so ready for restriction because I find myself grazing again. I know that is the worst thing you can do. Also it seems that I get hungry about every 3-4 hours. I have noticed that my portions are slightly smaller. I know I have to be patient.

      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.
