When do you stop eating before fill?

I am going for my first fill appointment on Thursday and a think that somewhere in my brain there is some memory of the doc saying not to eat anything that day or clears or something before the fill.... Does this sound right to you guys?

Hi... Normal diet before fill.. After the fill, soft foods and shakes for a few days..

My surgeon doesn't require it, but I stick to liquids and make my appointment early in the day.

:unsure:

Just makes sense to me :cursing:

My doctor wants no food or drink 2 hours before a fill and liquids for 24-48 hours after a fill.

Mine says nothing to eat or drink 4 hrs before the fill and liquids for a couple of days afterwards, mushies for a couple days more and work yourself back up. Everyone's dr is different but this really works for me.

my fills are first thing in the morning. i cant hv anything to eat or drink after midnight the day before.... you might want to call your doc and ask...

I ate an hour before I had my fill today and I am allowed to eat whatever I want after.

No rules about before a fill but liquids for 24 hours after one. But my daughter, who's banded, always eats a regular diet after her fills...same doc too. She tends to break this rule. I am more diligent about the rules than she is. Best wishes!
