My doc said 48 hours and his nurse said only 24. I'm playing it safe and staying on liquids for the full 48 but I'm wondering what are your doctors telling you? What do you do?

I'm starving! I can't wait to eat real food tomorrow but I'm also sort of nervous. I'm getting liquids down fine but this morning I almost threw up one of my meds. It made me wonder how tight I'm going to be.

My Dr says 3 days, then mushies for a week, then soft foods for a week, and then back to regular foods. I go Friday and am dreading being starving again. I hope I get some restriction.

I just went for my 2nd fill today and my doc says liquids for 24 hours. I work with 2 ladies that have the band as well and one lady only has to be on liquids for 24 hours the other ladys doc said 48.

I think 24 hours to be safe and then play it by ear, start slow and see what you can and can not tolerate.

Wow my Dr. is strict! I knew he was, but I am alittle jealous right now that you all get to eat so soon after a fill I have to go through hell all over again! LOL Hopefully it won't be so bad this time around.:)

My doctor says 48 hours on liquids, then I can slowly introduce solids, chewing well.

I didn't understand this on my previous fill, so I tried going to right to solids immediately. I just threw up everything I ate for 2 days. I could only get two bites down. Then it settled down and could eat about a cup and a half, so I'm getting another fill. This time I will be sure to have only liquids for 48 hours!!

You're making me feel thankful for my surgeon! We have to stay on liquids the rest of the day of the fill, then puree/mushies the next, and then back to normal as tolerated. My first fill was this morning and I'm already dreaming about my cottage cheese for Breakfast in the am!

This makes the most sense to me. I think I'm gonna follow this menu my doc said no food before the fill and Clear Liquids for 24 hours after...no other instructions were given about when to start regular food again but this schedule sounds good to me. :)

Mine is very similar.

Liquids rest of day.

Mushies/soft that evening.

Regular as tolerated the next day.

Any problems tolerating one stage.. go back down and restart.

Continuing problems..call & go back in for unfill.

However, I get very small fills. Those who get larger fills may need to progress slower.

I'm glad it's all individualized as we are all so different. :wink2:

Mine just says be kind to the band. Eat however we're able to. On most fills I had no problem eating normally. With this last one at 8cc I'm pretty tight (more than usual) in the morning, so I'm sticking to soft foods. Not a problem at all since I don't feel like eating anyway.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
