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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
