1st Fill tomorrow - any advice or tips?

I am going for my first fill tomorrow.  I have been told not to eat for 2 hours before
and then go back on clear liquids for 24 hours after.  Does this sound like what
others have been through?  It just seems weird after eating for a while to go back
to liquids.  I can do it - just am not in the mood to.

It's a breeze.  My doc says nothing to eat before fill then full liquids for the rest of the day.  I'm on mushies the next day then regular diet on the third day.

Thank you so much.  I am not nervous or anything - I just had such a hard recovery after the
surgery that I am apprehensive to go through more of that.  I had so much swelling that I could
barely get in a sip of water or a bite of jello.  I suppose I am going in to this in much better health
and stronger than post-op.  Thanks again.

I hope your fill went well, or if you haven't gone yet I hope it goes well! :) I can't eat before I go in and then for the next 5 days I'm on a restricted diet just like after my surgery. I have to do clear liquids for 2 days and then on the 3rd creamy liquids, and then the 4th is mushy stuff and then the 5th day I can start trying to eat normal foods again but no bread, rice, or red meat. I'm usually fine after the 5th or 6th day and this modified diet also helps my weight loss :) Good luck!
