    Best to ask your medical team for their specific guidelines because they do vary from practice to practice! That said, my surgeon doesn't have any rules about not eating or drinking beforehand but wants me on mushies for 24 hours after a fill.

    Good luck and travel safe.

    Stop eating at least 30 minutes before fill, and then only liquids after. Doc will tell you the rest!

    My doctors states not to eat solids 2hs fill. After fill be on liquids for 3 days, soft/mushy foods for 3 days and then go back to solids.
