Eating or Drinking before a Fill - help please



Recommended Posts

Could anyone please tell me what their doctor allows them to eat or drink before a fill. the lady in my doctor's office said I could have nothing that day, not even Water. My appointment is at 2 pm and I have a 3 hour drive to get there. I don't think I can go without a sip of water or Protein Drink or clear Soup or something. OK I am weak....help please...I am waiting for another lady in the office to call me back...hope the first one was mistaken.....

I was never told anything at all about eating or drinking beforehand. I had my first fill today at 10am, so at 9am I had a huge Breakfast (2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast) because I knew that I'd be on liquids for 2 days and mushies for 2 days afterward. No problems here!

When I called my doc. last week, before my first fill they said there was no restrictions on eating/drinking prior to my fill. I ate a sandwhich 1/2 hour before going in. NO problems with the fill.

I also was told to eat before the fill. lunch that is--my appt. was at 3:30. I could drink up until the fill. Going for 2nd fill soon--hopefully restirction will follow. 1cc did nothing.

I can drink or eat up until my fill, then I'm given a cup of Water to sip and make sure I'm not too tight, the it's liquids for the next 24 hrs. Then back to usual, if I can stand it, LOL.

No food for 4 hours before fill, a cup of Water I drink there to make sure I can, then liquids the rest of the day. Mushy food the next day.

I have only had one fill, and I wasn't very sensitive to it. Story may change on next fill! Cindy

      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.
