Unfill Question



Recommended Posts

I am going tomorrow for a slight unfill. Do you follow the liquid diet for unfills as well? Thanks!!

well my doc doesnt advocate the liquid diet after fills, he just says to be careful, so no, I didnt do a liquid diet at all after my recent .2ml unfill.

But I found it to be like a fill. Small immediate effect,then about a week later, I noticed how much easier it was to eat, how much hungrier I was and how many more really healthy foods (as opposed to sliders) I could eat. None of which led to weight gain thank goodness.

I dont know why I got so tight, one of those things I guess. PMT, plane flight etc all happening round the same time.

Thank you for responding Jack and Jacqui. I went for an unfill this morning and he took out 1cc. Ugh! It was odd because he said I only had 5cc total in my band and I was told 6cc after my last unfill. But when he took out the .5 I still struggled with Water going down so slow. So I feel like I'm back at the beginning again. I'm going to take it easy for a few weeks and see what happens. My doctor's partner advised me to remain on fluids the rest of the day and softer foods the rest of the week since I had so much trouble getting food down. But thank you again for both of your inputs. I always enjoy reading your posts because I get a lot of insight from them.

      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.
