1st fill and 2 day liquid diet

zetajenn5 · 03-07-2008, 12:29 PM

I'm on a 2-day liquid diet b/c I just had my first fill. The doc said 2 days of liquids and I forgot to ask if he meant clear liquids or the other liquids where you can have creamy soups and grits and stuff like that.

Anyone know?

I was allowed to have any liquids after my fill. I didn't do very chunky soups but I did have some noodles in it.

You just have to be on a full liquids diet. And after that mushies..and work your way back to solids....everytime you get a fill it's like you just had surgery again...what was ok with the band prior to the last fill might not agree with it this time.

Thanks 4j and Amy. I'm starving so I think I'm going to try a strained cream soup b/c the broth isn't cutting it!

My Dr.s has me on clear liquids for 3 days (clear + SlimFast) you may want to call your Dr. Mine would FREAK OUT if I had full liquids right after.

Every doctor has different after fill requirements. I am supposed to do clear liquids for 3 days. I haven't made it yet so I do clear liquids for one day, full liquids the second and on the third I do all soft foods like cottage cheese and yogurt. I have a lot of trouble with swelling after a fill so I am very careful when I reintroduce foods.

I've had 14 fills in a litle over a year and always get the same words as I leave the office "liquids the rest of today, mushies tomorrow and solids the day after". I usually stop by Einsteins for soup of some kind on the way back to work, but skip the crackers :) My clinic is famous for small fills though, so maybe that's why the shorter liquid period after a fill.

I think all doctors differ on their post-fill requirements. Mine says clear liquids for the first 24 hours, then full liquids, then soft food for the following 5 days, then eat as tolerated. This past fill, my 4th, has been the best fill yet. Before, the first 2 days after a fill I'd be so hungry on just the liquids but this time I've been somewhat satisfied, FINALLY! I'm on my last day of 'soft' foods.

I had my first fill on Thursday 10-29-09.. I was told to do clear liquids for 48 hours then full liquids the rest of the week.. Am I the only one that was put on liquids for a full freaking week after my first fill.. ?? Oh and I still really don't feel much different and they put 5cc in . Is this normal??

I just got a fill yesterday with 5 and I don't feel anything either! Maybe I will after I get food

The only time I was on "clear" liquids was the day of surgery. My surgeon uses the term "thin" liquids - anything that can fit through a straw - and that's what I had post op, and for 2 days everytime I have a fill. I must admit, I sometimes add mushies a little sooner than I should, but I go slowly and TRY to pay attention to my body's reaction. My problem is I really like mushies, and don't eat enough solids. A work in progress....

I got my first fill last week. I was on clear liquids for 3 days, full liquids for 3 days, mushies for 3 days, soft foods for 3 days and then on to regular foods.
