i have to be on liquids for 48 hours. then i am on mushies for 48 hours. then on to solids. the mushies are negotiable but the liquids are a must. the reason they gave for this is your body needs time to adjust to the fill before you put food through it. and according to my doctor eating early can cause your fill not to be as effective (don't ask me how).

i know it is hard, as i just got any sort of restriction with my last two fills and even with my last fill i was FAMISHED (until i cut out carbs and only drank slim fast high protein), but it is important to try to follow your doctor's orders. each doctor is different with their rules, but each doctor also has a different rate of slippage and erosion. i'm not sure if there is a correlation between the two..but i don't want to find out the wrong way.

(this coming from a person who ate cookies during the mushy stage..i know how hard it is when you are hungry, but you have to try to follow the rules as much as possible).
