First Fill Today!

Just had my first fill and was told to be on a liquid diet for the next 72hrs. Is this what you all where told also? I was not expecting this but if it is what I have to do I guess I'll do it. I'm so sick of liquids :girl_hug:

My doc says liquids for the rest of the day (of the fill), then mushies the next day, then real food 2nd day out.

I'm starting to think my Dr is very cautious, which I guess isn't a bad thing.

One of the things I find most surprising is how much variation there is with the advice given by various doctors. Some (like mine and, maybe like yours) seem overly cautious almost to a fault while others sometimes seem (to me) almost not cautious at all.

Personally, I'd rather my doc be too cautious than too permissive.

My doc told me to eat softer foods for a day. I had heard about the liquid thing too and asked him specifically "you mean I don't have to do liquids?" He said nope we don't do that anymore. I have been fine...:tongue2:

quick question; generally speaking, how much fill would they put in an empty 10cc band on the first fill. just curious. i go for my first fill next week and have heard anything from 1-3 cc. id rather them be a bit more aggressive rather than nickel and dime me to death for 4 or 5 fills at 1 cc at A TIME.
