Hello my friends, what does the doctors tell you to do after getting a fill, mine said liquids first day, mushies second day, solids on third day, just curious if you were told the same thing and why do we need to do this, thanks

Mine says liquids the first 24-48 hours after a fill, then progress as I feel comfortable.

The reason they do this is because a fill can often make your stomach swell, giving it time to calm and the swelling to go down before putting real food into it again.

My Dr requires liquids for the rest of the day then mushies for 24 hrs... and he suggests this due to the swelling which may occur since the band is tightening around the stomach.

I spend the rest of the day on liquids, day 2 on full liquids, day 3 on mushies and then should be on solids by the evening of day 3.

My doctor said liquids 24 hrs after a fill then mushies on the second day.

I had 4 fills in total.. never had any issues.

Thank you everyone!!!

About the same here, but the thing I JUST really understood with my last fill is that I am swollen and feel really restricted. When it went down I didn't feel it anymore. BUT, I am eating much slower and taking smaller bites and get satisfied so much easier and without problem.

just curious as to how much cc's ya'll have in your band, i have 5.50

I have 7.5 cc in a 10 cc band.... had 4 fills in total... no defills... last fill was over 6 years ago.
