I asked about the exact reasons for the post-fill diet restrictions and I was told by my PA that if I ate solids right away after a fill it could become stuck or I could vomit (which obviously no one wants to do). I follow a pretty strict post-fill diet and I just want to understand the specifics - the stomach is swollen after a fill, correct? And I understand that going slow and reintroducing the phases of food slowly is safe because each person experiences levels of restriction differently. Can anyone expand on this? My post fill diet is as follows:

3 days of Clear liquids

1 week of high Protein liquids and puréed foods (I can have yogurt, Protein shakes, sf pudding and puréed veggie soups)

1 week of soft foods (eggs, tuna with low fat mayo, flaky fish)

and then back to reintroducing regular foods slowly.

Thanks everyone!!

I think you will find everyone's post fill restrictions to be different. For example mine are only soft mushies for 2 days then resume normal eating/solids. So I'd follow what your doc says to do

all i can tell you is that each doctor has their own set of instructions based on their experiences with their patients. i am on liquids for 2 days mushies for 1 then back to regular as tolerated. and each of my fills has caused different reactions then the previous. i have had my share of unfills due to too much restriction and my fills are pretty small like.1 or .2.

My post fill diet is: 24 hours liquids, then 24 hours of mushies, then regular food.
