Eating on fill day



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My surgeon has given me instructions for eating when I have fills and this is what he says:

Day of - Clear liquids only

1st day after - thick liquids

2nd day after - soft foods

3rd day after - regular diet

Does anyone else have rules like this? I'm starved on the day of and first day after!

No, my Dr. always just said 24-48 hours of liquids.....

But is sounds like good advice to me....I have noticed people trying to eat the wrong foods when their bands are possibly irritated, traumatized, only to continue to agitate it...then they go back and get an unfill tthinking they were too tight....then wish they had another fill because they can eat too much....

And back and forth and back and forth....

In my experience, I had to learn to co-exisit with my WLS....

My doc allows me to have liquids on the first day. I can have what I can tolerate the next day. Hugs

All drs are a little different. After a fill I finish the day on liquids and have mushies the entire day after per my drs instruction.

Full liquids 24 to 48 hours depending on what I can tolerate, followed by 2 days of mushy food

I have the same rules for getting fills from my doctor. I am always starving too! He told me that I am able to eat up until I go in to have my fill done.

Usually, I'm told liquids for 24 hours, then a soft diet for next day or two. Then back to regular eating after this. Each of us is different, do what's best for you. You will feel the band if you do something very wrong.

My doctor recommends 3-5 days of liquids then soft foods. I typically do 3 liquids and 2 soft.

That's exactly the same rules as my surgeon wants clear for 1 day then thick Soups for 1 then softs for 1 then back to normal eating

My doc has not mentioned a restricted diet the day of or after. I had my third fill yesterday and have not had any problems with resuming my regular diet. Although as previously stated, it is best to follow your physicians instructions. They know better than we do. Good luck and God Bless!

No solid food 2 hours before, liquids the rest of the day, then a day of mushies, then back to solid food.< /p>

I appreciate everyone's feedback, but now I'm more confused than ever! Why are there so many varying rules for the same darn thing? That just makes no sense to me. I'm going to heed my doctor's instructions, but I still want to know why it's different for everybody.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
