[Mimi122 2]

HI guys went to my Dr. today had my first fill, wasnt bad at all..actually I feel no different then yesteray, but I can tell you this I am sooo hungry, can I eat some mushy food instead of liquids?

It depends on how far post your are but you should already be on mushy I would think.

I had my surgery 5 weeks ago, today was my first fill.

didn't your doctor give you this information? I don't get why you are asking this, call your doctor. After my first fill i went 2 days on all liquids and then the third day mushies and the 4th back to regular foods, but call your DR...

You'll quickly find out that everyone's doctor is different! My doctor does not have any restrictions after a fill. Just chew well. I had my third fill yesterday, I'm up to 6.2 cc's now. I haven't really been hungry so I choked down an egg for Breakfast and had some Cereal for lunch.< /p>

For my first few fills, there were no restrictions.

However after #3, I was told liquids for 2 days, then mushies 1 day, then regular foods.

If our doctor didn't say, take it easy and do liquids today at least.

Tams, hi there you sound upset...lol. My Dr. Didnt give me any restrictions, but i like to hear everyone's feedback and about there fills as well...that's why this is a forum...you have yourself a nice evening.

[Mimi122 2]

Than you guys! Hope everyone is having a good night...had me some mushy food, couldn't. Eat much...feel full fast...i will stay on liquids for today and tomorrow. Just to see how i feel on my second day.

lol i am far from upset but some of the questions on this forum strike me as odd....my opinion is why not ask your doctor these questions? Anyway GL to you

Hi Mimi!

I was banded in July and was on liquids 7 days pre op, 7 days post op. Two weeks after surgery I got mushies and 7 days after that (4th week) I was able to eat soft foods. My doctor took my fills slow and small so I didn't fill restriction until my last fill which was about 3 weeks ago and I think it was like my 5th fill. So the 4 previous fills I had I never felt any difference. Number 5 was the one. At least my doctor would see me every 2 or 3 weeks so I wasn't having to wait a long time in between times. He always tells me, after each fill, to go easy and eat a pudding consistancy for 5 days afterward. If you're feeling hungry you don't have restriction. Thats one of the signs that you are still in the green zone. Hope that helps. Good luck to you!

While it is wise to ask your doctor these questions, this IS a forum. And you are free to ask whatever you like especially since I'm finding that every doctor says something different... My doc told me to do liquids that same day, then mushies the following day, and onto solids..

My doctor has me sign a form each time I have a fill and the form has instructions such as for me to stay on Clear Liquids for 48 hours. But my previous doc only had me on liquids for 24 hours after a fill.

I think it depends of how big of a fill, my first fill I got 1.6 cc and the instructions were to do clear liquids for one day, more condense liquids the second day, and soft food the 3rd day. My second fill was 2.6 and I had to follow the same schedule but 3 days each stage.
