I am getting my first fill on monday and have no idea what to expect..... My Dr told me that I will need to be on liquids and mushies for the first couple of days after the adjustment.... did anyone else do this and was it helpful each time you had a fill ?

thanks for the input.

Hi Chuck,

I usually stick with liquids the first day and by noon the next day I start adding in mushies like mashed potatoes. By the second day I'm eating normally. But with each fill you have to get used to your new restriction. Always proceed cautiously, take small bites, chew, chew, chew and you'll figure out what you can (and can't) eat.

This is just my experience. You should always follow your surgeon's guidelines.

I just had my first fill a few days ago on Monday. I was on liquids the rest of the day and the following day. Now I'm back to normal food, but eating cautiously. I had 5 cc put in my realize band can really feel the difference!

My first couple of fills I just ate mushies for the day or so after, but starting with my 3rd fill when I started getting restriction I did liquids for the rest of the day after my fill than mushies the next..i didnt have any problems. Good luck! Just be careful and take it slow after your fill once a day or so passes you will be able to tell if you can eat solids.

Oh I am SO glad to hear that! I am hoping I can feel a difference after my first fill!!! I was worried that it might not make a difference at all. Do you get filled with a lot less? Right now I can eat ANYTHING!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
