When is the last time before a fill you should eat? I am getting a fill tomorrow under fluro at 10:30am is it ok to eat breakfast around 9am?

I just had my first fill this past Wednesday. I was told no food four hours prior to my appointment, and no liquids two hours prior. So I started drinking a protein shake just after the food cut-off, and finished it right before the drink cut-off time. That helped me stay full until after my appointment.

Hmm, I had no restrictions about eating or drinking before the fill... just liquids for 24 hours after, then mushy foods the next 24 hours, then regular foods with caution.

I'm going for my first fill this Thursday and was also not given any food/liquid restrictions before the fill. I got the same instructions as Rachel did.

If my appointment is between 0800-1200 no food after midnight. If it's between 1300-1700 no food after 0600. It helps to have the pouch and stomach clear in case you need to do a barium swallow or any other urgent test.

I was told only liquids for 5 hours prior to fill.

My doctor says its fine to eat and drink before. Liquids for 12-24 hours after.

My Dr has no rules for before the fill but liquids for 24 hrs after. I've actually had lunch with friends right before my appt.

No food after midnight. And the day of only liquids. The next day go back to regular food. If you have a problem then do liquids for 2 more days, try to eat the next day. If still a problem go back to Dr.

Before fill, our guidelines are no food for 4 hours before, but any and all liquids we want. Last appt was at 4pm. I ate lunch at noon and then drank all I wanted up until 4pm.

No restrictions before. Liquids after a day, mushies a day then solids. Haven't had any problems.

I just had my first fill on Thursday...I had no eating restrictions before the fill and I really wish that I had eaten! I got very busy at work and only had a cup of coffee around 8:00 AM. My appointment was at 1:30 PM. I was starving!! And then I was on liquids for 24 hours afterwards.

I recommend that if you have no restrictions, EAT SOMETHING!

I am not told anything about before a fill. I, also, recommend having something to eat because I am 48 hrs clear an 48 hrs full liquids after the fills. I would be starving by the time I got to eat. Goodluck. Karen

You should be fine. I have my fill on Wednesday amd they told me I can eat breakfast and lunch, but after the fill I'll be on liquids for 24 hours.
