I feel kind of silly for not remembering but what are the eating rules before and after your fill. I'm getting a fill tomorrow and have been eating lite today and was wondering do I need to be on liquids today and on liquids for 2 days after.? What works best for you guys. I'm seeing a new fill Dr. and was given no rules from his nurse as yet.

I have just had my first fill in a year and a half! I am SOOOOO glad for it, it has made a huge difference!

I was told not to eat lunch (1.30pm app.) and then soft foods for a couple of days. That was on thursday. Yesterday i tested it out a little and i will stick with the soft foods/liquids for a few days. I jsut had some camembert cheese (which i have only recently discovered!) and one and a bit littel pieces is all i can do. It took me quite a while to have a cuppa this morning, but i haven't had a pb yet today, which i did yesterday cos it took me so long to remember what restriction is! LOL I am amazed and disappinted i din't go back sooner. thought i was doing ok, as things did get stuck a little on the odd occasion, but now i realise i was probably over full. I could eat a LOT before this fill, though it wasn't like that at the start. Now i find myself simiilar to what many of you manage, just small amounts and full for ages.:car::clap2:

Aussie_Jodie: That was a very good post! Thank you!

i had my fill yesterday. i had fluids for the next 24 and slowley get back ti more solid food.

not sure how much more i can fill had a very hard time taking my supplments down today.

I don't have to do any diet.. I normally eat lunch on our trip to get my fill.. and I don't have to do any liquids or anything post-fill.

Laura- I see you had a "port reposition'??? What is that and how did it happen

I was always told to eat normally up until the day of the fill... then to try and stick to liquids immediately before the fill. After the fill, it all depended on me... what I felt I could follow.

I just had my first fill yesterday.

No pain jusy funny feeling from the numbing medicine.

2 days liquids

2 days mushy

2 days soft

and than solids

Just as an FYI, you don't have to take the numbing medicine. I can't imagine that the fill is any worse than the numbing shot, anyhow, so why get stuck twice? My office doesn't numb you, so I didn't even know it was available. But the fill is such a piece of cake, never really any waiting, always under flouro and I'm on the fill table less than three minutes. It's great!

After my first fill on the 15th of this month I will be:

3 days Clear Liquids

1 week full liquids

1 week soft/pureed foods

Then I go to "normal" foods.

I can't eat anything for four hours prior to my fill appointment. They say liquids the rest of that day and progress to soft the next day, then back to "normal".
