Waiting period to eat after a Fill?

How long of a waiting period to eat after having a Fill?

I had my sixed fill today (9.5cc in a 14cc band) and my Doctor had his usual post fill instructions. He wants me to be on Clear liquids for 3 days.

How long for you?

Thanks,

Border

Clear liquids for 24 hours to 2 days, Full liquid for 2 to 4 days, mushies for 2-4 days , regular solids, with regression to clear liquids through to all steps if I have a stuck episode.

As the fills get higher I personally find that opting to the side of caution is better and I have less trouble once I get to solids. Last fill I followed the higher end suggestions and had no regression, so I plan to do the same this time.

I just had a fill yesterday- 9cc in a 14cc band. This was my first fill with my new doc and he is strict too- Clears for 3 days (Wednesday included), full/liquid purees for a week, soft foods for a week then progress as tolerated.

My old surgeon pretty much didn't care- I asked him if I should stay on liquids and he said just for that day but then I could eat whatever.... This guy I left. I am going to follow the new guy, at worst I will have a nice little weight loss.
