I was wondering if I should eat solids before getting a fill... or how long my stomach should be empty before the fill. My first fill is Monday around 4pm, so I have all day to do liquids or solids... what did your doc tell you to do during the day leading up to your fill? I know that I need to do liquids for 3 days after the fill...

Thanks!

You really should get instructions from your doctor's office. Give them a call and I'm sure they'll tell you.

For me, it's not food or drink for 4 hrs prior to the fill.

See and My Dr has never given me an y rules, so I normally try to eat on my 3 hour drive to the Dr. then liquids for 24 hours after.

My doctor says he doesn't care before...2 days Clear Liquids, then 2 days full liquids.....then slowly progress!!

Your doctor will letyou know if ya ask!

My surgeon has no restrictions prior to getting the fill but recommends that I remain on liquids for the rest of the day, mushies the next and then move back to solids the following day.

I agree with another poster that you should ask your doctor about his recommendations.

my doctor's orders: no food after midnight the day before the fill and two days of liquids afterward

My doctor says make it light, you don't want to be to full before your fill, then for 24 hours liquids, then 24 hours mushies, then 24 hours soft foods and then your on your own.

Mine did not have any restrictions for before the fill, just afterwards. Liquids for 24 hours afterwards, then mushies for two more days.

I had no restrictions the day of the fill. For the rest of the fill day and the next day it's liquids and then a day of soft foods and then back to solids.

You see each Dr. is different. Give them a call, because it's better to be safe than sorry. I only need to be on clears the 1st 24 hours, then mushies for 24hours, then back to norm.

Good luck!!!

Each Dr. is different - mine nothing for 2 hours before your fill - then soft food for the rest of the fill day - then back to normal. 3 fills for me now - no problems.
