Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 MAK, first of all..... IMMEDIATELY go on liquids only for 24-48 hours, then pureed foods for 24 hours and soft foods on the fourth day. I went through just what you're describing after Thanksgiving and would have saved myself 10 days of barfing if I'd just let the original irritation heal! It was 5 weeks after my fill, but I was stressed and had my period.. and suddenly one morning I was really noticing swallowing my protein drink. Silly me, I kept trying to get solid proteins in and kept throwing up, pb-ing...etc.. Finally it all connected for me (with some advice from a fellow bandster) and I did liquids to let the stoma and banded area heal. Haven't had a problem since! P.S. I've never needed an unfill as of yet, but when I hear other's talk about it, they seem to feel it's necessary if you can't keep ANY fluids down, can't swallow your own saliva, have heartburn so bad you have to sleep sitting upright ... stuff like that. mzducati900ss <mzducati900ss@...> wrote: So you ol timers that have had fill and unfills... what made you need an unfill?
