What constitutes '3 days'?

[robinem 0]

Hello All:

I'm looking for a little help here. I got my first fill on Thurs. afternoon. I was told 3 dyas of liquids then three days of soft foods then start regular food.

My question is when does the three day ticker start? Is three days, Thurs, Fri, and Sat. Then soft food Sun, Mon and Tues. then regular food Weds.

Or, does three days start Fri., Sat. and Sun and then soft foods Mon, Tues, and Weds?

I'm feeling silly. This seems like it should be easy, but its throwing me for a loop.

Thanks for the input.

.

I think 3 days is this version- why chance it.

72 hours from the time of fill = 3 days.

My opinion of 3 days is 72 hours.

hmmm, I would have to go with the 72 hours if you were told 3 days.

I'm constantly amaized that ther is such a difference between clinics. We are told "take it easy" but we don't have to be on liquids after our fills.

But of course, always follow your surgeons' recomendations.

My surgeon counts the day of the fill as day one so 72 hours sounds correct.

I agree....I had my fill on a Wed 9am so I counted 72hrs from then (so I was able to eat from 9am on Sat)

Same for me.

Wow, my Doctor, Dr. Curry only requires one day of liquids, then one day of mushies, then on to solids. They are all different and require different things.
