I went for a fill on Monday. Spent 3 days on liquids, Then yesterday was on mushies.

Today my husband took me out to dinner, and I was nervous. I had some Fish, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy. and broth.

Now I couldn't eat all that, but the broth, and some of those Potatoes were good Then came the Fish ! I was still nervous..

I took a piece, and chewed, and ate slow. It went down like I was drinking Water. Not a problem at all ! So it was nice to go out.

But even nicer to know that, If you follow the rules, it should work out for you.

What's your Rules, when it comes to a Fill? / Does it work for you?

Shirley..

24 hours full liquids then 24 hours mushies. I did'nt get restriction for 6 months so I did'nt have any trouble eating solids once I could eat regular food.

My Dr didnt have any rules after a fill.

Liquids the day of the fill, soft/mushy foods that evening, back to regular the next day.

If anything gives trouble, go back to the previous stage and progress slower.

Banded 2 years, only once have had problems with a fill being too tight.

My fills are usually very tiny. .2cc's. A larger fill I would definitely progress slower.

my doc just advised caution and not to eat any of my problem foods. She sort of leaves it up to the patient. I've never had any need for liquids, I can eat straight away after a fill.

12-24 hours of liquids.

24 hours of liquids, then proceed with caution. So far so good.
