They normally ask you to stay on full liquids for 3 days after your first fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawkchick75 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Will you get your fill at OCC? Most doctors differ on diet after a fill. Mine was just softer foods for a couple days, but I know at OCC they say back on liquids for a bit. You will need to check with the place you get filled to know for sure.

Kimmy in MD Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I don't get my fills at OCC and have had 2 fills since being banded in May 2008. My doctor requests creamy soup stage liquids for 7 days after my fill. At first, I didn't know if I could mentally do it again and really had trouble adjusting. I thought in my mind if I only got through the 21 days of liquids the first time I wouldn't have to do it again -- ever. WRONG!!! But I managed to make and guess what, nothing terrible happened. The new restriction typically takes away the hunger during that time. I usually eat really hearty creamy soups like cream of crab, potatoe cheese, french onion and brocoli cheese. I don't worry about the calories in the soups and eat as much as I want. Sometimes 2 bowls for dinner if I am really hungry. With both fills I have lost about 20 lbs. in about 6 weeks time, so I don't question her request any longer. Good Luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
