Yes you can eat the day before a fill.

Ok what my doctor has me do is only have liquids the day you are going in for the fill. So nothing solid is in your pouch.

I would call and ask your doctor what they want you to do since every doctor is different.

Also ask what you should follow after a fill. I have heard so many different diets to follow after a fill on the board. Follow what your doctor want you to do. Good luck

I agree with Trish, call your doctor.

I can eat the day before a fill. I can have no food or Water for four hours before a fill.

Pasta is OK every once in a while if you can tolerate it. But it is not the best choice nutritionally (carbs and calories with little nutrional value AND the carbs will give you insulin spikes which bring on cravings later). You can pretty much eat anything you can tolerate but to lose weight you need to eat the proper foods (always Protein first, then veggies, then fruit, carbs like pasta and bread should be the last choice if at all)

no food or liquids 4 hours before a fill for me... liquids the day after then 3 days of mushies...

but every doc is different. call yours and find out.

Every doc is different. My doc told me no food for 4 hours before the fill, but he told me to resume my regular diet that eveing. He said he doesn't require any dietary restriction after a fill... but everybody does it differently...
