Still a little down

Last night i was a little down. I had been doing very well and out of the blue, a pulled calf muscle. Feels more like a torn one. Any way today is about the same. I am still searching for my "sweet spot" may have found it, not sure yet. I had a fill twelve days ago. The only thing I can eat comortably is soup and mashed potatos. I went to dinner with my husband today and tried an omlet.Oh not so good. It felt like I was swallowing gravel. Hurt all the way down. So I tried tiny bits and slowed way down. Still eating gravel. I am not sure if I am too full or if possibly I am just so full that my transition from liquids to mushies to regular is going to be much slower this time. The surgeon said "respect the band, respect the fill this time you got alot in there" I have not thrown up tho I do PB at times. When do I know if I need an unfill? Thanks and God bless.

If you are unable to eat solid protein, it sounds like you need a small unfill. When you are tight like it sounds like you are, just a small issue can cause swelling. I'd have

.1 or .2 taken back out.
