When do you stop eating before fill?



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
