Note to all: Do not get a fill just before any important event!

I started running 2 weeks after surgeryin October doing the Couch to 5K, then started training to run my first half marathon. I should have been doing that this morning, but instead I was at my doctors office getting an unfill

I got a fill on Wednesday afternoon and was good with just liquids for a couple of days. Starting yesterday I couldn't even get those down. I had my first PB from a smoothie... into a cup, in my car while driving. Not good. When it got to the point that I was puking water up I called my doctor and he told me to come in this morning. Obviously, after going 24 hrs with no liquids and being unable to drink, there was no way I could run 13.1 miles. So disappointed!! So I hope everyone can learn from my mistake and get a fill far in advance of any important events!

Side note: When I got to the doc and he had me take a drink under fluoro, the liquid was going through, so I'm not sure if some swelling went down or what. Anyway, he took 0.3 cc's out and I was able to drink without pain. However now at home I'm sipping juice and while it's going down, it is a little uncomfortable, whereas in the office it was not at all. Any idea what gives with that?

It's probably swelling that's causing the issue now, after you've had an unfill. Some people swell more than others, and you might just be a sweller.

I hope everything settles down for you.

Thanks! It's much improved today.

Glad to hear it!

After my last fill I have been very tight I think bands are very picky different times of day changes in weather alsorts of things change what and how much I eat. With every fill only two so far I have had to eliminate foods from my diet. I can not eat hardly any type of meat no matter how it's cooked well, I can still eat most sea foods. I tried drinking a green smoothly the other night and up it came i couldnt eat or drink anything else that night I drank it at noon next day no problem I seem to get tighter at night most people are tight in mornig? No rymhe or reason to it sometimes.
