First Fill Question

Tomorrow marks my first fill. I am a little nervous but I want to make sure I follow the protocal correctly.

I know you have to go to full liquids for two days after a fill but my question is PRIOR to the fill can I eat normally? Like tomorrow morning can I eat Breakfast with solid foods or should i not eat anything or should I only drink liquids? Can someone please let me know from their experience what is best.

My fill appt is at 8 am so if I need to not eat anything that won't be too difficult but I don't want to make a mistake and have a problem without realizing it. Thanks!

I had my first fill yesterday. My doctor's office just said a 2 hour fast prior to the fill. A really neat post I read said also to make sure you stay WELL hydrated prior (this really helped me) and not to have TOO big a dinner the night before. Good luck!
