I am currently 5 weeks post op and I am scheduled for my first fill on Monday afternoon. The doctors office didn't give me any instructions, so I assume I can eat my normal breakfast and lunch before the fill Then liquids after. Was just curious if anybody has other instructions?

I have my first fill Thursday and I'm not sure either.

My office says nothing to eat or drink 2 hours before the appointment, and no meat, breads, or pasta 24 hours afterwards.

You should check with your Doctor's office.

By the way, the first fill is not as bad as you think it may he! I was so nervous when I got mine a couple of weeks ago, and it turned out to be no big deal.

First fill is no biggie. I had one on Sept 18 and I didn't feel anything. I drank some water in front of the doctor and then he let me go. I did on my own(no doctors orders) eat liquids for 2 days after fill. My second fill is scheduled Oct 30.

It's so weird how doctors are so different. I got banded August 7th and I've already had 3 fills and I'm a week away from my 4th fill if I need it. I think I'm very close to the green zone. I've dropped 45 pounds in just about 6weeks. I'm am so excited to feel the results. Keep up the great work everyone

Didnt receive any "pre" fill Instruction. And it was a peice of cake. 1 got 4cc in my 10 cc band. they told me to do liquid/mush for a day. Which I did. Then things were back to normal food. It took a few days till I felt a little something, I Do feel a little more full now.

Was banded aug 15th.

Second fill November 6th.

Good luck to u. I'm sure you'll do fine. Just follow your surgeons orders and if your not sure call them. That's what they're there for!!
