I always eat right after a fill. My dr says usually fills don't effect u for a day or more do why be miserable in the interim? That's just me tho. I don't know what ur drs take is on it

My doctor is fine with eating after a fill, he says just be careful, they always make u eat a yoghurt after a fill before u leave the hospital to make sure u can get it down but i usually eat normally after a fill just not heavy duty food is all :)

My dr orders liquids for 24hrsthe after a fill. Ut in the last 2 1/2 yrs, I've followed his orders once. My last fill (I think it was the 6thlast fill).

In fact, after my 3rd fill, I finally got restriction. I ate about 3the bites of chicken, 2 bites of baked potatoe, and a coupla bites of salad and I was totally full. It was like magic. The last fill I got in Jan was. 5 cc's and maxed my band out at my current weight. I still need to lose about 10 lbs so to hear I was maxed out was a bummer.

I would advise tho to follow ur drs orders. If s/he tells u to only do liquids for a certain amt of time, do it. I guess im not a very good patient as I rarely follow drs orders.

Good luck

It all depends what your surgeon's recommendation are. Mine says Clear Liquids 48 hr, full liquids 48 hours, then go back to regular meals. I, after 2 years, sometimes, will cheat by day 3. Best of luck, I would say just don't overdo. Karen

I would do liquids till the night then eat something soft after that for a day.

Worked for me untill this last fill, Now Im so restricted that I cant eat much of anything like Marfar7 I really fill it if I try to overeat.

Do what you and your dr decide, but the tigher you get the less you will want to do that.

Why so many fills? Unless you aren't losing weight, why are people getting so many fills?

When you go in for a fill you only get a little bit at a time. I just had my 3rd fill on Monday and I am now at 7.8cc with a 14cc band. I asked for more but they will only give a little at a time.

Depending on the doctor, they will only fill so much at once. Different people need different levels of fills. Some only need to go a couple of times, others need to go often. Mine advise that day to drink liquids, mushies the second day, then solids. I usually go a bit faster than that, though. I would stick to softer foods, at least fill day.

there comes a time when you can just eat more and the weight loss decreases or stalls. Anyway this is why you got the band to be able to adjust it.

I never went in for an "unfill". My dr. always put in the right amount after about 4 fills. I also have the 14cc band. I have 5cc in it now and i'm going next week for 5 more. I had all my fill removed 11 weeks ago for my Tummy Tuck. So now i have to start over... but at least he is filling like i want him too.

I had my first fill today and my doctor didn't have a problem with me eating. She gave me 3cc, and I feel a little difference but I'll see in a few days if I'll have to go back for another one in a few weeks

My dr orders liquid diet after fills for the rest of the day. If I eat solids after a full my belly gets really irritated and I'm susceptible to gas n vomiting. I prefer to play it safe

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
