Should I have a slight unfill or wait a full week?



Recommended Posts

:help: So I had a fill (my third) on last Thursday. I am having trouble eating - only soft foods are painless. I tend to swell a lot, and my fills have changed (loosen up a bit) after a week in the past. (Today is the following Monday, 4 days).

So my question is, do you think I should go back in get a little pulled out, or stay on liquids/softies for the rest of the work week and see how it goes? I feel great and fine...

I know you guys aren't, mostly, doctors, but I find that I have gotten the best answers to support a decision before I talk to my Doctor. Just want the opinions of those that live it, first.

Hi There, if it were me I would wait it out for the week to see how you do. My doctor told me there are 2 types of tightness. Tightness to liquids which is really bad and tightness to solids. If you try solids and PB then move to a softer diet and lose it will be your decision on whether or not you want an unfill. You can lose on a softer diet ie. cottage cheese, cheese enchiladas, etc. but may have difficulty in solids. It really is your preference. I prefer to lose and eat a softer diet at 3.2 ccs. Julie

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
