I am required to be on a clear liquid diet the day of my fill. Is this common practice? I also have to do a liquid diet (not clear)the day after and then a soft food diet on the third day before returning to regular foods on the fourth day. I'm curious to know if this is just my Doctors preference or do most doctors require this diet?

I am required to be on a clear liquid diet the day of my fill. For the next 2 days I have to be on a full liquid diet. Then day 4 I can start back on soft foods.

I think it is Dr's preference. I cannot have anything solid at least 4 hours prior to fill no liquids 1 hour prior to fill. After the fill it is 2 days liquids. I had my third fill yesterday and they tightened me up pretty good so I have to do 2 days liquids and 1 day mushies prior to going back to solid food..
