What did you eat before first fill?



Recommended Posts

I can eat about anything right now and lord knows I cannot wait til Nov 16th when I go for my first fill. I think I gained back like 2lbs that I lost out of 22lbs. It is very hard not to eat since i am not done with mushy's. What did you do what did you eat. I think im going to try to eat lots of salads and grilled meat. I also need to get my workout together.

Neesh, my first fill was at 4 weeks. I was on liquids for 2 days, full liquids for 8, then mushies for 7 and then started adding real foods. By the time I went for my first fill, I was having a Protein shake for Breakfast, Soup or salad with leftover meat on it for lunch and 3 oz of Protein and a vegetable at dinner.

Salads aren't really nutritious if you just have iceberg lettuce but if your salad has dark greens (like kale and spinachO, tomatoes and stuff like that, then it's pretty healthy. I've never heard anybody who wasn't allowed to eat salad, but just the caustion about what went into a salad. Now, several fills down the line, I still eat salad but I don't eat greens that get "floppy" or flimsy because they sometimes get stuck. But crisp vegetables still work fine.

AND, you can make a salad with no lettuce at all. It's just a perception that salad = lettuce. Dice fresh tomatoes, slice seeded cucumbers, zuchini or yellow squash, thin slices of carrots and onion and dress with a fat free Italian. It's a salad but no lettuce at all.

Some surgeons say no salad until after your first fill because salad is hard to digest while your stomach is still healing.

My first fill will be on the 18th. Which will be a day before I start my 6th week.

Currently just trying to follow the Week 3 Mushies list, till I hit week 4 on Thursday 11/5.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
