Could anyone please tell me what their doctor allows them to eat or drink before a fill. the lady in my doctor's office said I could have nothing that day, not even water. My appointment is at 2 pm and I have a 3 hour drive to get there. I don't think I can go without a sip of water or protein drink or clear soup or something. OK I am weak....help please...I am waiting for another lady in the office to call me back...hope the first one was mistaken.....

My doctor allows me to drink up until 1 hr before a fill but NO food for 4-5 hours before a fill.

I was never told anything at all about eating or drinking beforehand. I had my first fill today at 10am, so at 9am I had a huge breakfast (2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast) because I knew that I'd be on liquids for 2 days and mushies for 2 days afterward. No problems here!

When I called my doc. last week, before my first fill they said there was no restrictions on eating/drinking prior to my fill. I ate a sandwhich 1/2 hour before going in. NO problems with the fill.

I also was told to eat before the fill. Lunch that is--my appt. was at 3:30. I could drink up until the fill. Going for 2nd fill soon--hopefully restirction will follow. 1cc did nothing.

I can drink or eat up until my fill, then I'm given a cup of water to sip and make sure I'm not too tight, the it's liquids for the next 24 hrs. Then back to usual, if I can stand it, LOL.

Had my first fill yesterday, could not drink or eat anything 4 hours before fill. Have to be on liquids for 2 days mushies for 2 days, then back to regular food.

No food for 4 hours before fill, a cup of water I drink there to make sure I can, then liquids the rest of the day. Mushy food the next day.

I have only had one fill, and I wasn't very sensitive to it. Story may change on next fill! Cindy
