I'm just wandering what kind of diet other bandster's follow after a fill. I am doing 2 days liquid, then 2 days soft, then regular.

I'm just wandering what kind of diet other bandster's follow after a fill. I am doing 2 days liquid, then 2 days soft, then regular.

My doctor states for me. 2-day liquids, 2-days mushies, and then regular

For once, Mine's a little more lenient! LOL

1 day liquid 1 day mushie 1 day soft then normal. That is, if I EVER have restriction! :grouphug:

I just got my fill today and my doctor is a little bit stricter, I have to do 3 days clear liquid, then one week all liquids, then one full week soft foods, then regular foods.

Doctor Teel only ask that you don't go out of town for 2 weeks after a fill. Other than that you can eat as normal.

My doc has you do 24 hours liquid, than back to normal.

I am getting my first fill tomorrow at 2pm, I know after ur fill 2 days liquid and then 2 days mushie then regular foods. But what about right before the fill? Should I eat or just drink liquids? They didnt mention anything to me about it.. but i want to make sure.. this fill is 2 months late. My dr. was on leave.. 2 months of no weight loss but no weight gain :grouphug: which is good. But want to look good for this summer! anyway thanks!

I'd think you don't want to have eaten just before a fill but that's just me and thinking it through...if you have already had a fill and are getting some restriction you don't want to tinker with the size of your stoma (hole between pouch and the rest of your stomach)....and even if it's your 1st and you just ate it MAY make you nauseated (people react in different ways) so I'd say, to be on the safe side, no eating 2-3 hours before, and only water etc up to 15-30 min before. IF you have time though it would be safest to call your doc. He may have NO restrictions. My ideas are just that...ideas. Use only as a last resort! :tongue2:

Pre-fill - Liquids only two hours prior to fill

Post-fill - Liquids two days, mushies two days, then regular diet.

My dr. says no food for 4 hours before a fill, nothing to drink 1 hour before. Then I am on liquids for 2 days, mushies for 2, then normal food after that.

Every doctor has their own way of doing things. Please be sure to follow YOUR doctor's orders.

Wow that is strict! :thumbup: I am so glad I don't have your doctor.

I am going nuts, I want to eat something besides mashed potatos and oatmeal, I have been living on broth and protein shakes, (which I dont really like) at least next week is soft foods.lol.

Hang in there Mair, it does get better. Well worth the sacrifice!

I started soft foods today,yay, at least now I can have tuna fish or eggs. these few weeks were rough, it was easier when you first get the band because you aren't feeling that good, now that I feel good, it was harder for me to stick.

24 hours liquid only, then normal band eating.
