After fill diet... What does your doctor have u do?

I got my first fill today woo hoo lol. 3.5 ml in my 10ml band. I am just curious what other doctors have you do for your diet after a fill since preop diets seem to vary so much doctor to doctor. My doctor has me on clear liquids for two days then a day of soft then back to a regular diet. How about you?

I usually go in for my fills around lunch time. He asks me to drink fluids for a couple hours and then back to normal eating, softer items though. Have had 2 fills with no complications. As you said, they are all different. Good luck!!

I had my first fill yesterday too, I was told liquids for a day or two depending on how I'm feeling. Then soft foods for another day or two, then back to normal foods. I'm feeling good, was starving yesterday. Hoping the fill helps, they say it can take 2 weeks until u feel the restriction.

Solids up to 4 hours before the fill, liquids up to 1 hour before, then full liquids for 24 hours, mushy/soft for 24 hours, then back to regular. Now that I have enough fills to get stuck, back to liquids or very softs for 24 hours after being stuck.

What Missy said.

Liquids 2 days, Soft for 1 day and then back to normal. :)

I hadn't heard that it may take two weeks to feel restriction. I felt restriction before I had my fill but it did not last more then an hour and I was starving! I can't wait to start my soft foods tomorrow... hate liquids!

my surgeon says 2 days liquids,2 days soft foods,then reg foods...and thats for an unfill too
