Fill tomorrow - question

[cynpatt 2]

I have my first fill tomorrow and I remember my physician saying about being on liquids again - the thing is that my appointment is at 4:30 - should I be on liquids starting tomorrow morning? Or just afterwards?

I never started liquids until after the fill. but I would eat light before maybe. hope this was alittle bit of help.:thumbup:

The doctor always has me stop eating 1 hour before - and then on liquids for 24 hours after - then mushies the next day, then re-introduce solids the day after that....

My doctor doesn't place any pre-fill restriction on my food intake; after fills, I have to do liquids for 1-3 days and mushies 1-3 days. It depends upon which of the post-care docs/PAs I see :thumbup:

I thought it was "the day of the fill" because, I swear, the literature they gave me said that. So, I made sure I had ONLY liquids the entire day, and had my fill at 2pm. The doctor says to me, "Okay, so you're on liquids now for 24 hours." I said, "Seriously?! I've been on liquids since dinner last night!" To think I could have had an omelet for breakfast...lol.

I ate normally before my first fill, which was in the morning. My doctor told me to have fluids for lunch, then thicker fluids for dinner, and start normal food the next morning.

I guess if he hasn't told you to change your diet beforehand, you don't need to. While there, he'll tell you what to do next. "Cause we've all been told slightly different, I'd just go with what your doctor tells you.

My Dr. said no food on fill day, just liquids. Then 24 hours Clear Liquids, 3 days full liquid, 3 days mushies and then whatever as tolerated.
