several people have said that they had liquids the first day or two after a fill and then went back to pretty much normal eating.

my surgeon has me doing a week of liquids and a week of mushies before going back to solids. is this typical or is he being a little overly cautious? i mean...ill still follow his orders obviously, but im just curious as to what everyone else was told.

also all day yesterday (i had my fill yesterday morning), i was hiccuping like crazy. not painful, deep ones. just small annoying ones that took forever to go away. at least 2 or 3 separate times, usually after the first bite of food which was Soup or a Protein shake. is that common?

My surgeon requires 3 days liquid and 3 days soft foods after a fill.

I just had my first fill. I had one day of fluids, 1 day of mushies then incorporate normal food. I definitely see a difference in restriction (and that is good). Pretty cool process all in all.

how long were yoy guys on liquids after you initial surgery?

After each fill, I'm on liquid the day of, puree the next day, soft food the next day and then regular from that point on.

I am aobut to get my first fill and do not know what to expect. I do have more stomach gas since being banded..not sure why. Love the Gas-X. This is helping with this issue. I would love to hear mnore about your experience. I had surgeyr on 3-5 and due for first fill on 4-5

2 weeks liquids...now, I still do liquids for breakfast and sometimes lunch.

After each fill, I'm on liquid the day of, puree the next day, soft food the next day and then regular from that point on.

Only one fill in but this was exactly my experience. I am now 'tighter' in the AM so my beloved scrambled egg is gone on work days, replaced with a Protein shake, but other than that, it was fairly painless.

this is great to know. I was rather worried about it, but this is putting me to rest. I don't know about you, but my weight lost post surgery is slow. My Dr made me lose 40 lbs prior to surgery, and I actually lot 44 prior, but on ly 12 since surgery on 3-5. Has this also been your experience?

I am on liquids for 2 days after a fill.

I was told 24 hours. Today I really tried to eat soem scrambled egg and let's just say it did not stay...First time this has happenned since surgery. I ws at work too. Embarassing..............

I had my first fill of 3.5 cc, and the doctor said 24 hours. He said I can transition to regular food if I want. The nurse recommended 48 hours since he's going to be out of town this week.
