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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
