Eat or Drink before a fill?

Hi Folks, I have a quick question...tomorrow I go for my second fill but it is not until 3p. Can I eat or drink before 3p or do I need to be totally empty? I forgot to ask the office when I made the appt. Thanks for the feedback!

All my appts. are in the afternoon and I've always did like I do everyday, eat and drinking should not be a problem.

You should call your doctor to Make sure. My doctor advises no food or drink 5 hours before the fill. But, touch base with yours to make sure.

I asked my doctor today and he said no eating or drinking 2 hours before a fill.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm looking forward to another fill to get moving in the right direction!

My DR said no solids 2hrs before but liquids are o.k He also told me one day that lots of people eat alot before a fill because they are goung to be on liquids the next few days. He said that they always kow when you do because he can tell with the fluro. Since then I always fast beforea fill I just dont want him to think Im a pig .

getnthere, that is too funny! I would think the same way. In fact, my fill is today at 3p and all day I have been taking it easy on the food for the same reason!!

My doctor never told me any restrictions before a fill. Maybe that is why I have had inflammation at times after a fill.???

I asked my doc and he said not to eat for one hour before a fill. I guess every Dr is different....

I was instructed not to take anything by mouth (including water) after midnight the day of the fill.
