day of first fill......

I go for my first fill on Wednesday. Do I eat as I have been or do I not eat that morning?

Just eat something light is what I've been told to do.  And then general liquids ( yogurt is okay)  for 24-48 hours and softs and carefully progress or whatever your surgeon suggests.

Hi,
Every doctor seems to be different.  My dr requires nothing by mouth for 5 hours prior to the fill.  i must say that I have not had any trouble with fills ( touch wood)  I have had great restriction my whole 18 months.  (Just fat eyes some times)

I believe the thinking behind it, is that the pouch is dry and shrinks in a little which will give good restriction. 


Are you having it done via Fluro (xray)  if so it is a very weird experience seeing the fluid go thru the pea size opening.  This has been a blessing for me as I am a very visual person.  Every time I have a fill I can see that my pouch really is the size of an egg.  It really does help (most of the time)  with over eating.

Good luck.  It will be a breeze.

Thanks so much for the info. I was wondering what to expect. And I didn't want to mess it up by eating if I'm not supposed to. I'm not sure if it's being done with fluro or not. I have my liquids and softs ready for the first few days after the fill.

I have my first only that morning.  So slightly different rules for all of the responses so far.  Best to double check what your doctor requires.  Good luck!

Just called the surgeon's office. Protein drink morning of fill. Not fluro, but something similar with xray & drink. Basically the same thing but they call it something else.
