Liquid diet after a fill?



Recommended Posts

I have my first fill on the 13th, what can I expect as far as food restrictions if any?

For me, it was liquids for about a day, then progress as tolerated.

Same here... stomach can react to the fill, I think it can swell up a bit. I've always felt a lot of restriction for a day or two after a fill... and it was only after a fill when I've had food come back up until the swelling went back down.

Ok thanks. I know they'll tell me at the office but just wanted an idea ahead of time.

They always tell me for a fill or unfill to do 2 days of liquids, then a day of soft foods then back to regular food.< /p>

I went for my first fill/unfill yesterday.

I had to first have a unfill for measurement. My file said the Doc put in 3.8 cc's at surgery but after unfill yesterday I actually had 4 cc's. I now have 4.5 cc's and go back in 3 weeks for next fill if needed. I was told liquid for 24 hours then soft for 24 hours. I have no appitite at all. I hope this feeling sticks around for a long time.

Good luck!

Had my 3rd fill today up to 5 1/2 cc. Liquids 24 hrs then mush for 24 hrs and I AM STARVING! My fills give me no restriction.

Be patient, you will not feel any difference while you are on liquids. You should notice when eating the right dense Proteins, the right amount and eating slow. It is also a huge head game. Measure, eat and wait. It takes time for your brain to recognize that you don't need to eat more.

Yesterday I had my 3rd fill. I did liquids yesterday and drank my 14 ounce Protein Shake all day. Tried chicken mushy. Nope right back up. Lays after my fills I am PBIng and worse. Takes about a week for me to go back to normal

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
