Question: I got my first fill today and was told to only have liquids today and tomorrow and soft foods like yogurt and cottage cheese for the next 2-3 days before returning to solid food. Has anyone else been told to do this? I am ok with it but just curious what other doctors are doing. Other than that, I love my band and have been feeling great and losing weight. Am down about 28 lbs since surgery on 1/16.

I had my first fill yesterday... I was banded on 1/15.. have lost 28 lbs also... yes I am doing liquids yesterday and today, then soft or creamy tomorrow... I am hungry though.. I am not sure if that is normal. but I can get through it... I am very happy with my band so far...

Most people are told the same thing as you were. Filling and unfilling can cause a little swelling so easy goes.
