My doctor puts me on liquids for 24 hours.  I can also have oatmeal, creamed soups and things like that and then we are suppose to move slowly to solid foods after that.  I usually have my fills in the afternoon so that night I have soup and then a protein shake for snack.  The next morning I have a bowl of oatmeal and then for lunch I make either egg, chicken or tuna salad then I make for dinner something with ground meat or something in the crock pot so I am getting real food but they are very moist!

My doctor has me on clear liquids the day of the fill, 2nd day is any kind of liquids and 3rd day is mushies, 4th day eat anything.

Funny how every doctor is different isn't it.

My surgeon just tells me to do liquids the rest of the day and back to normal food after that.  Since I usually have 4 p.m. appointments, I'm not on liquids long.  His PA always tells me to do liquids for 24 hours, but I usually follow the surgeons advice instead.

I had my first fill yesterday and was told no special diet. I was told to eat a yogurt right way to make sure I can tolerate it.

I always get my fills in the early afternoon (my doc's office seems to get back on schedule during lunch -- and I can get in and out quickly if I book my appt at 1:30)

So, I eat a small lunch by 11:30 --- and then I do liquids for the rest of that day.
Soft food the following day ---- and then regular food (with a new-found respect to take tiny bites and chew well).

I never had the '2 weeks for the fill to kick in' phenomenon that some other people have.
I feel it right away --- and I 'tighten up' my eating plan  -- I mentally prepare and convince myself that there is more fluid in there and that less food should satisfy me -- and I eat that way.

It has worked well for me for almost 2 years (hard to believe that I have had my little buddy in there for that long!!!!)
