Should I get an unfill? What do you think?



Recommended Posts

I have been extremely restricted and really not eating very much. My pcp and I are trying different depression meds and such for my depression and anxiety, also I have had to switch up birth control meds for various reasons and had been on my period for almost a month straight. Last night I had a really bad night, I took my zoloft and birth control then went to bed. Bad mistake, I got up about 10mins later with bad acid reflux and threw up slim. Usually I can take a zantac and be ok but I couldn't keep the zantac down. Now I am really contemplating an unfil to let me stomach rest, but I probably can't get one for at least a week since my fill doctor commutes to my area. I have already made 2 trips for emergency unfills to my docs area witch is 200+ miles away and I don't want to do it again. I really am afraid of getting a complete unfill but I am starting to think that it might be the best option right now. Do ya'll think I should unfill until my pcp and I can get meds that work for me? Or should I just get an unfill for a few weeks to let my body rest? Or...what? I just don't know anymore.

What does your PCP think you should? I would follow his advice. Non of us know your body like he does (not to mention that he's the one with the MD after his name.) We will be here to support your decision.

      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.
