I've been wondering if I should go for an unfill myself. I got a fill a week ago Monday. I wasn't even sure I needed a fill. It had been since September and I was loosing about a pound a week. I was content with this, but there seems to be this pressure that I should be loosing more quickly. Anyway, I got the fill and had such a tough time. I couldn't even keep my own saliva down, much less food or drink. I ended up calling my doctor's office and he met me at 11 at night and took 1 cc out. (He had put 1.5 cc in.) I kept on soft foods and liquids for the most part. Last night I had a tiny piece of chicken and have been vomitting pretty regularly for hours... having the same problems as I did when I first got the fill. I couldn't sleep last night. I haven't tried to eat in almost 12 hours, I keep throwing up this saliva that seems to be increasing in production. UFF!

I just got a fill this afternoon. I drank a little bit of water and was okay so I left. Ran some errands and about 2-3 hours ago I decided hot chocolate sounded good. Not the best choice, probably, but it's the no sugar added kind with only like 50 calories. Anyway, I maybe drank 1/8 of a cup and ended up throwing that up. Awhile later, I decided I would try hot tea instead. In all I've thrown up 7 times tonight. I'm not even sure what I'm thowing up anymore.. my saliva maybe. The doctor's office is now closed, of couse. Any suggestions for me?

Thanks for the replies! After vomiting 11 times and not having had anything more than 1/4 cup of liquids 5 hours prior, I decided to call the doctor's office... I got the answering service and the doctor called me back and ended up meeting me in the office at 11 PM. I felt so bad for getting him up that late, but I was so grateful. I would have just gone to the emergency room if he said to. He ended up taking out 1 cc of the 1.5 he put in hours earlier. My jaw hurts, but at least I was able to keep some hot tea and some protein shake down so far this morning. :party:

Oh the Wii Fit is great! It has yoga, balancing, aerobics, and strength training. My favorite is the step and the hula hoop! You create your little mii and then it tracks your weight and BMI and it's just a cool tool. :-)

Filled on Monday, Un-Filled Saturday night

I'm having a similar situation to what Patty had. I got a fill this afternoon. I've only been losing about 1 lb a week, but I was content with that. I decided to go for a fill anyway. Now I'm really regretting that. He put in 1.5 cc. I drank some water and thought I was fine. On the way home, I started wondering if I should go back and have him take some out. If only I'd listened to myself! 2-3 hours ago, I attempted to drink some hot chocolate and then hot tea. Probably got about 1/8-1/4 cup down (total). Unfortunately, it came back up. I keep producing extra saliva and throwing that up as well.... for a total of 8 times so far tonight. I'm exhausted and my body hurts. I can't wait for the doctor's office to open tomorrow. I sure hope they can squeeze me in!
