I go for my first fill today and realize my doctor was spot-on with the timing - 3 weeks from my surgery date. Today is the first time my breakfast hasn't lasted 4-5 hours; it's only been 3 hours and now I'm hungry. One quick question: is it a good idea to be full when you get the fill? I'm starving and know I'm not going to make it until my appointment time.

Not for me, my doc asks I only have liquids 3-4 hours before a fill. Try a soup to get you by?

No, it is not a good idea. I always fast before and after my fills. Do drink some water and tea or coffee which ever is your preference.

What a great question! I never thought about it but I usually ho on an empty stomach. I will have my coffee (because I love my coffee) but on fill day I go on an empty stomach (except for my coffee of course)

I've actually never fasted before a fill. Not on purpose anyway! I usually make sure I eat well before a fill because I know it'll be a few days before I'll eat well again. In fact if I haven't had time to eat before going in for my appt, I'll stop at a cafe along the way just to pick something up to eat.

I've even told my doctor I do this and he didn't think anything of it.

My dr told me to eat cuz it's back to liquid after fill

My Dr said eat a small meal. I have my first fill tomorrow morning at 10. Liquids for 24 hrs.
