what's your post fill instructions? my doc is really vauge!! ugh

[str1349 37]

i know each journal is different - but my doc is unfortunately really vauge when it comes to post fill instructions. i only recently started following up w/ him after a small 7 year break (lol) and the best i can remember is him just not giving me alot of detailed instructions about what to eat right after a fill. i'm a very concrete thinker and need concrete instructions.... i'm going in for a tiny fill this coming tuesday and i am super excited. i'm prepared to be on clears the rest of that day, and for the next two days, then full liquids x 2 days, then mushies x 2 days, then semi solids x 2 days, then back to solids. i'm just curious what your doc's instructions were after a fill. thanks for ya'lls support

Stick to liquids for the rest of the day and then progress slowly after that. Just important to listen to your body and what it can and can't handle.

My instructions after fills are clear liquids the rest of the day after the fill, clear liquids the next day, then full liquids on day 2 (including milk, yogurt w/out fruit, Protein shakes), pureed foods on day 3 (no chewing required), soft foods on day 4 (soft cheeses, eggs, canned fruit), and regular foods on day 5. If you have an e-mail address I have a nice list of really specific instructions....

I am always told full liquids for one day then one day mushy then solids. Also stay in touch with how you are feeling. Sometimes it is easier to move on and sometimes you need to give yourself a little bit more time.

I just had .7put in my band last Thursday afternoon and was told that I could not chew anything till Saturday afternoon. No other restriction after that. Just for 48 hours.

Each Doctor is different so just follow as best as you can to follow what he says. And ask if you don't understand. I asked mine if I could have fish on Friday and she asked if I could eat it without chewing. LOL.

My doc requires liquids for 2 days post adjustment. I do Clear Liquids day one, progress to full liquids day two, day three I do soft by day 4 usually I was able to eat but if my band was really working well it sometimes took me a week to learn how to re-eat again.

PS: I hated fills. I had one bad episode of being too tight and that was enough for me. I have only had one other fill since that date, I chose to take this bull by the horns and learn Portion Control really quickly.

Good Luck!

Mine tells me after a fill to sip the Water ritght there in the office to make sur it goes down , and if it does then he says to do liquids for two days , then I can go to mushies for a day then back to solid food so I guess it's 48 hours of liquids and I still can't stand it but I guess I got used to it , since I found I like banana flavored or Cookies & creme musle milk I also every day drink Ocean spray packets to go in my water bottles I really like the cherry limeade or cran grape flavor .

My surgeon requires 2 days clear, and two days full liquids. This is to make sure that the swelling has gone down before trying to eat. I can see definitely that you after 7 years will need to follow your surgeon's instructions well as you will probably have swelling. Best wishes on your restart to you journey to a better you! Karen

I had this convo with my doc during my last fill and they don't require any special instructions. It's weird. You just drink the Water and it business as usual. My doc does fills free as part of the cost of the surgery so maybe they are less aggressive fills and require less attention?

I just had this conversation with my doc at my Last full. They don't require any special fluids or foods to be followed... Maybe it's because he does not charge for fills as they are part of his after care program and therefor the fills are less aggressive? My last full was .8 but I'm just getting filled up again after my band being defilled when I was pregnant...

I had my 3rd fill yesterday, and it was liquids only day of fill, soft foods today and regular eating on Wednesday....It is amazing how different the doctors are when we all have the same equipment in! (LOL)

My doctor requires that you drink one bottle of Water before you leave the office. That way, if you are too tight, they can go ahead and do an unfill right then. After that it is liquids for the rest of the day and back to normal eating as tolerated. I usually drink a Protein Shake the next morning and then eat scrambled eggs for lunch. If I don't have problems with that, I try to eat a normal supper.

My Dr says liquids for 2 days. Does anyone know if there are any reStrictions for an unfIll? Is It liquids for 2 days also?
