Liquid Diet after fills

zetajenn5 · 04-21-2008, 05:09 PM

First of all, can someone explain to me why we're on liquids after a fill? I'm on liquids for 2 days after a fill and I could eat a horse. And second, anyone have any suggestions of what to eat? I'm tired of chicken broth and I'm starving!

Sorry guys! I meant to post this in fills...not fill doctors. I don't know how to move it.

According to my Dr., you have to stay on liquids for your stomach to heal. I had a fill on Thursday and he said the stomach feels it tighten and realizes, once again that there is a foreign body in there. So you go on liquids so your stomach doesn't have to "work" and the new swelling can go down. I am on liquids for 4 days, then soft foods for 3 days, then back to regular foods.

I drink 3 Slim Fasts a day when I am on liquids to get all of my nutrients. I have also been known to drink the juice out of canned fruit, soups and such. Popsicles, jello, milk, etc., are all also okay according to my Dr.
