Removing fill & eating

[RFW 19]

If you take some cc's out of a band do you have to go to liquids or soft foods or can you stay on solids?

My dr's office always gives me what to do after a fill/unfill. I've only been unfilled once and I was not given any food restriction. I can't image you would need to do liquids or mushy after an unfill.

I've had un-fills (I'm completely empty now), and there were no dietary restrictions afterward. I'm starting back with fills; have one tomorrow morning. I know the day will be liquids, and maybe mushies the day after.

No restrictions for me either.

I just had to have an unfill yesterday of 0.5cc and she said for me to follow same as if I had a fill. So 2 days of Protein Shakes and 2 days of soft foods then back to normal. Guess they are all different I didn't think I would have any restrictions

For the most part people usually get unfilled because they are too tight and if you are too tight your stoma has some swelling and irritation.

So for that reason when getting unfilled my doctor recommends that we treat it the same as we would on a fill day and go through the protocol of liquids> mushy>soft> solid.

That's actually true, even though I wasn't advised of any restrictions. Once my band was emptied, it took a good 2 weeks for the "too tight" issues to subside.

Makes sense
