What are your post-fill rules?

Full liquids for the remainder of that day (I always get fills in the afternoon)
"Tread lightly" after that --- no real restriction on foods, just small, careful bites.
(My doc is a big believer that the band works to dim our appetite when we consume a diet of lean/solid protein, produce, healthy grains, low-fat dairy ---- so, he tries to get us into that type of diet as soon as is safe).

My instructions are much like Kath's. Liquids the rest of the day, mushies that night if I want them, back to solids as tolerated. If anything gives trouble to back down a step and proceed a little slower.
My fill appts are usually in the afternoon, but I've had morning ones too, and I just go to soft foods in the later afternoon when that occurs.
It may also depend on the size of the fill or how "agressive" your fills are for you. I get tiny tweaks and always have since my first one which was only 1cc.. since then they've been .5 and .2.
