Back from my ist fill!

Blix · July 9, 2008

I got my first fill of 1.5 cc and I have been able to eat mushy stuff today. is it necessary to do the two day liquid. The nurses say its a suggestion but trial and error see what your body can handle

My nurse told me 2 days on liquid i.e. Slimfast, creamy Soup etc. She never told me it was optional. I just go by what they say. I guess it could be either way. Anyway my two days will be up this afternoon so I will be trying something different for dinner tonight but nothing heavy. I think a lot of this is trial and error, so to speak. There are people at work who are eating and drinking things I was told to avoid at all costs. They tell me their doc said in moderation but I am trying to stick with my doc's program.

Hi ~ I get my 1st fill tomorrow (7/10) I was banded on 5/27/08. When I called the Dr. office today I asked if there was procedures prior to the fill (eg. no drinking or eating), and she said no... Stil wondering about that. Any comments or suggestions?

I had my first fill 07/07/08 at 1:15pm and had a salad for lunch before I went. You shouldn't have any problem if you eat before you go. It doesn't take them that long to do it. :smile:

I have to do Clear Liquids for the rest of the day after the fill, and then the day after that. Then I can have mushies the third day and then solids the day after that. I don't know why I have to do clears, but it kinda makes me irritable. I think it should just be mushies and see what your body can handle.

I was told to eat mushies, SF pudding, Slimfast, and any other liquid for two days. I guees it is all up to the doctor.:smile:

Yeah...maybe it has something to do with the type of band that you have also. I don't know. I was starving after my first fill when I was on Clear Liquids. I wanted mushies so bad, but my hubby was being strict with me, which I guess was good.
