hey everyone. i just got my 4th fill on the jan 16th. and my doctor always tells me that for 2 days i have to be on a liquid diet then 2 days of a purred diet so my band doesn't slip. is this true for everyone else who gets a fill? last month when i got my fill, i cheated on my purred diet, and nothing happened to me, and this month again i cheated because i went out with my friend that i havent seen for longest but nothing happens to me. i usually always chew my food till its very mushy or liquidy. i am just curious if your doctors tell u the same thing after you get a fill so your band doesn't slip. please fill me in on your info. thanks! take care.

My Dr. tells me 2 days liquid, 2 days pureed, 2 days soft then introduce solids and keep well hydrated during this time and remember the band rules. My Dr have his lapbanders on this regimen because of the swelling after a fill and to decrease the chances of PB or vomiting due to swelling of the stoma and to decrease to risk of band slippage caused by vomiting/PB'ing. There are times though when the 2 days of pureed is out the window and I go to soft.

After my first fill, my doctor said one day of liquids. After my second fill Friday, he said liquids for the weekend and back to solid foods tomorrow. I couldn't feel any change after my first fill but I do with this one.

hey thanks you 2 both of you for letting me know. take care
