First fill today - food question

So I'm scheduled for my fill at 11:30 - what time should I have my last meal before they do the fill or doesn't it matter?

My doctor says no food 2 hours before. Drinks are ok.

My Nut said that I can have a protein shake or light meal the morning of a fill but nothing but water for 2 hours before a fill. Good luck!!

My nut says nothing 2hrs before.

Awesome, thanks! Just got back....put 2.4cc in (had nothing before). I'm excited to see a change, hopefully feel more restriction. Surprised to see 2.8lbs loss though but I'll take it! I can also resume regular exercise which is awesome!!! Thanks for support ;)

I had no idea that we were not supposed to have food prior to a filler. My "nut" LOL told me no such thing or maybe they just assumed I knew...It was my first filler 2 wks ago at 3CC but I'm still hungry - very frustrated.

Same happened to me I had my 1st fill last Monday, they were supposed to email me but never did I tryed calling but no answer then finally Monday morning on way into London 2 hours before my fill they answered the phone I only rang to confirm the adress then just said by the way can I eat before and they said I could but it had to be 4 hours before my fill ???¹ well too late cos I had just eaten now I feel like I e wasted money? Ahhhh!! I'm eating the same as before I had a fill!

Every surgeon is different. Mine says to eat like normal for meals but nothing except liquids for two hours prior, and all liquids the remainder of the day. Return to mushies next day and regular food the day after that.
