Do I Need A Slight Unfill? What do you think?



Recommended Posts

Am I getting enough food? Do I need an unfill?

Last night I weighed 3 ounces of lean ground turkey before I cooked it. I added about 1/8 oz of shredded cheese, 3 very thin pickle slices, two small baby carrots and a tablespoon of baked Beans to round out my meal. I could not finish the burger - ate just over 1/2 of it - no bread - and that was with some ketchup and a bit of mayo on it that should have made it "slide" a bit. I ate the carrots and beans (again, wet food) but felt uncomfortable for over an hour after dinner. I think what I ate would easily fit in 1/2 cup measure but it seemed to be too much.

Then, for Breakfast I had 2 heaping teaspoons of Greek yogurt with a sprinkling of Kashi Go Lean crunch - about 1/4 cup. I brought apple sauce but couldn't even take a bite of it because I felt overly full again.

A few other things to consider:

1) I had a very bad stuck incident last week that resulted in two days of vomiting/sliming on all solid food

2) I recently flew (landed Sunday evening)

3) I have a sinus infection and am taking anti-biotics

4) I have my period

Is less than 1/2 cup of food per meal a suitable amount for someone who needs to lose 125 lbs?

Hi Sounds to me with everything you have going on flying, sinus etc...you could be a little swollen..stay on yogurt and Protein drinks for a day or 2 if it does not resolve, call the doctor. He might have to unfill. I just had to go in for a unfill, way to tight could not eat..coughing..just miserable and I am still on liquids till tomorrow because of swelling.

Good look.

As long as I could eat good solid food I wouldn't do an unfill. If I started counting on just sliders and shakes then I would. You probably still have swelling in your stomach. I would give it 2 weeks to go down. Small meals are fine you probably just want to make sure your getting your Protein. If not I would supplement with Protein Shakes.< /p>
