First fill today - food question



Recommended Posts

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 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!!

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
