I'm confused



Recommended Posts

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.

      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.

        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.

      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!
