Unfill question

elle · September 3, 2008

I just had an unfill from 8.125 cc to 7.8cc in my 10cc band.

I decided that I rather be a little hungry than vomiting/PBing so much.

I think my esophagus had a hard time.

My question is that do I have to stay on liquids then mushing for 3-4 days after an unfill.

I would strongly suggest starting over and taking it slow. I had an unfill in April of 0.1cc and because my esophagus was swollen from the PB'ing, I started back on liquids/mushies for 1 week. It made a huge difference in addition to the slight unfill.

Um, it depends on how long it went on for. I had a few incidents for about a week before my unfill and he told me to go easy for a day. So I had like refried Beans and some Soups and then I was eating normal the next day. But, if you let it go on for weeks, then yeah, you might want to go easy.

If you do not have too much irritation, I would go one day liquids and one day mushies and on from there depending on how things are going down.

I think your body will tell you what to do. I just got an unfill after a terrible overfill and I cannot imagine trying to put anything other than liquids in my body. But if you are not sore, you should be ok. The longer I have this band, I realize how important it is to be aware of the signs and signals your body gives you and not ignore them.
