My Dr. has you do liquids after a fill. I was wondering what others do?

I had a fill this morning. It will be liquids for me for 2 days and then it's food as tolerated.

I had a fill this morning. It will be liquids for me for 2 days and then it's food as tolerated.

This is how it is for me, too.

I get my first fill on 7/17/08 - my doctor says after a fill - clear fluids for 2 days.....

My doctor has no restrictions after a fill. He said if I feel more comfortable sticking with mushies the first day, that's fine, but he specifically wants me to try solid foods by the 2nd day and to let him know if I can't tolerate them.

My Dr. has clear liquids + milk and Slim Fast the day of the fill and the following 3 days. Then soft foods for 4 days, then foods as tolerated.

Liquids for a day or two, then mushy food and then slowly try regular foods and see how it goes.

I got my first fill yesterday, I have twenty-four hours of full liquids and then twenty-four hours of mushies........they will be giving me fills every two weeks and that is what I have to do each time I get one.

I had my fill on Monday. My doctor just says to go slow and increase thickness of food over the course of the week. Monday evening and yesterday I just had fluids and strained soup. Today I've had a yoghurt drink, smoothies and creamy soups. I don't go for the diet options as the cals stay low because my portions are so small. It's ironic that I only eat the full fat, full taste foods when I'm filled, simply because I limit myself to such a small amount.

Also, drink plenty.

Two days liquid, two days mushies then slowly introduce solids.

My doctor says 2 days liquids, but I'm a total chicken, so I am going to do 2 days liquids and 1 or 2 days mushies.

unbeilievable how different the doc's are, mine says solid protien after fill, he says he doesn't want food going through the stomach fast. I'm more confused as I read because m.d.'s are so different. vicki

Keep in mind, our doctors are only having us do 1-2 days of liquids . . . after that, of course they want us to return to solid proteins so that food doesn't move too fast through the band (that's how it works). The liquids are just to help you recover from a fill -- to ease any irritation you might have from changing the size of your stoma (any inflammation around the tissue, etc.).

My Dr did not give me any directions, but trust me I would slowly work back up to solid foods as I have vomitted a few times since my fill do to food not passing

my doc has me do solids, he told me to stop the protien shakes etc. vicki

Why doesn't my doc have me do liquids? He also says no fluids at least 20 min before meal and 1 1/2 hrs after, why is my doc so different?
