How long do you stay on liquids following a fill?

I have a fill 3 days before Christmas. I would like to be able to consume at least a little normal food on the big day :-)

When I had my first fill, my dr had no restrictions on what I ate afterwards. After my fourth fill, they now have 24 hours of liquids.

I had my last fill in the morning and did liquids the rest of the day and mushies the day after.

I would check with your doctor's office as each one has different rules. My doctor has me do liquids the remainder of the day of the fill and back to solids the next day. You should follow your doctors rules though.

What is the purpose of going to liquids after a fill?

Jini,

When we get a "fill", the stomach is squeezed a bit more - and a bit of swelling usually occurs from this procedure. Most doctors require us to have liquids for the first 24 hours, then soft food for the day after that - just so we dont harm anything.

Repeating what Betty said earlier - the patient needs to ask their surgeon about post fill diets - each doc has their own rules!

My Dr said 2 days liquids 2 days musshy and then soft foods. I have noticed I seem to have a stricter dr than others. I had to wait 10 weeks before my first fill

The Surgery Center of Richardson says 3 days of liquids, then 3 days of mushies.
