So Hungry! Solids After Fill?



Recommended Posts

I know we're supposed to stick to full liquids for 24 hours after a fill, but holy cow I'm SO hungry! I ate a whole can of Tomato basil Soup, and my stomach wont shut up! I know the responsible thing to do would be to make a Protein shake, but I'm wondering-

Have any of you ever eaten solids (or even mushies) before the 24 hour restriction was up? What happened?

Thanks!

Do as your doctor instructs! Try the Protein shake. Drink 2 if you need it.

MY surgeon doesn't have food restrictions after a fill but I have to go back to liquids/mushies for a couple of meals afterwards. Fills just kick my butt (stomach?!) and I have to take it easy. I'm also not usually hungry after my fills either. BUT that's me.

Call your doc and see what he says, he may okay you to soft foods/mushies if you're really hungry but really, you need to follow his instructions. Best wishes!

When I get a fill, I spend a few days telling myself what's coming and how we're going to handle it! The 24 hour liquid phase is horrible. I also get really hungry and feel like I'm drinking food all day long. I just remind myself of all the stupid diets I tried over the years. This is the only thing that has worked. If I need to suffer for 24 hours every few months until I get my sweet spot, then I just tell myself to suck it up. Of course, self tells me to just go to bed early so I don't suffer the tummy rumblings! Hang in there, mushies are only a few hours away!!!!

I see it has been said...PROTEIN!! Protein drinks...and have more of them. You can take in quite a bit and stay under any calorie requirements/limits you may have set.

I am going to throw myself out there but I never do liquids after fills I listen to my band and eat small moderate meals and I have always done fine. But please always listen to your doctor, me I am rebulius hence why I am over weight. But now I have my lil friend (the band) that straightens me out once in a while. :lunch:

I just had my first fill yesterday and my doctor's policy is full liquids for 48 hours! I got 3.25cc in a 10cc band, and have not been hungry one second since I got it yesterday (good thing eh?). I even ordered pizza and breadsticks for the office and sat with them and drank my Protein Shake without a single temptation to eat. Maybe I'm at my sweet spot?????? WOW that would be great! I need full liquids for 48 hours then mushies for 48 hours. I see this as a "kick start" to my next phase of weight loss, really doesn't bother me..yet. :sneaky:

My doc says 24 hrs of liquid,mushy diet. Then proceed slowly with caution. I'm glad I get my fills at around 4pm, then by the time i'm off work the next day I can just go home and have an easy dinner. I agree with lacasst, I usually do drop a few pounds. So that is a incentive. Good luck all!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
