I think I need an Unfill ?



Recommended Posts

I had my second fill on the 5th of this month . 2cc's

Everything was fine, liquids went down fine , semi solids seemed to be going down fine . ( My doc has a different post fill diet than most he requires 3 days clears 3 days liquids , 3 days mushies, 3 days solids) I was just about to go on solids and my mushies started to not go down very well.

Now keep in mind I am under an EXTREME amount of stress right now .

which I suspect might have something to do with my band being overly tight . Solids do not stay down now at all, I had meat loaf tonight and after about 4 bites I was done it stayed down.

So i stopped. A few hours later I tried to eat some more and it came back up. its been like this for a few days now . Its sort of hit or miss on what I can and cant eat. So im on staying on liquids now until I call my doc in the am .

Part of me wonders how much of this isnt finally having some good restrition and im not doing something right . Maybe it is good restriction , possibly being overly tight from the stress as well ???

So i dont know what to do . so im calling the doc in the AM. Anyone who's been too tight before how did you know ???

Thanks

Mindy

Thanks. I am loosing close to a pound a day right now. Im waiting for my doc to call me back right now.

I think i need an unfill. This morning I woke up and could just feel the band tight. Almost like I couldnt catch my breathe. I sometimes feel like that after I get my fills. So I am pretty sure I need an unfill if even a slight unfill .

Hey Mindy

I have found there is a VERY fine line from too tight and good restriction! Sounds to me like you need to at least visit the Dr and see if you are too tight. I have found that even .10ccs or .05ccs can make a HUGE difference for me. GO with your gut, as she said! :cool:

I think you are right. there is a very fine line .

I probably would do well with a slight unfill just a little . still waiting for doc to call back lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
