Little unfill
Nov 10, 2009
So I went through my week of liquids and mushies after my fill. Then I moved on to regular food and was doing alright, albeit a much smaller amount of food that's for sure. I also noticed that I was getting heartburn after taking my evening meds and that wasn't cool. On Wed. I was having a hard time getting liquids down and tried to eat some corned beef hash and got about 4 bites in and PB'd. I was too tight. I called my Dr's office and they said they could see me the next day at 8am. They told me to drink as much as possible and stay hydrated before then.I was amazed that I wasn't hungry the rest of that day, and I drank slowly but kept hydrated. I got a protein shake down, which took about 20-30 min, and got my pills down. The next morning I went in to the Dr. on no food or drink for four hours before (so I just went all night). Brian came in and did the unfill of about .4 which took me back to my pre-fill stage (I don't remember the number, sorry).
I left there able to drink, happily, and started my liquid phase again. I was STARVING! I made it through the two days and started on mushies on Sat. I went out for a visit with my mom, whose been banded a lot longer than I, and when I told her I was on mushies she was like "why?". She told me you had to do that with a fill but not an unfill. So I ate food over the weekend and have had no problems.
I have pretty good restriction but it's still early to tell. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know. By the way, since not eating my fiber cereal and just taking fiber powder in my shake I haven't had a real crap until today. Hopefully my weight will reflect that tomorrow morning as I was up to 222.4 today, yikes! That's the wrong direction! Anyway, more later...
