Pregnant with twins-1st unfill tomorrow

I haven't posted here in a while, the last couple months have been interesting!  I found out I am pregnant...then I find out it's twins!  Wow was that a surprise!

I am going for my first unfill tomorrow.  I wasn't going to get one but being pregnant with 2 babies I am hungry constantly.  I'm eating small meals and snacks all day!  I haven't gained a pound yet which I am happy about, there will be lots of time for gaining. 

Here's my question...after an unfill, does your doctor require a day of liquids, day of softs, like with a fill?  I just can't imagine how I'll get through a day of liquids!  I am hoping that won't be necessary with an unfill but we'll see.

Wish me luck!

Wow!!!  Congratulations!!!

I have had to have unfills a couple of times and was never told to go on liquids, hopefully, you won't be told that either!

Congrats  and good luck.  To answer your question, my doc usually had me do  mushies for two days after a fill.  I guess it might be the same for an unfill.

Congrats!  How exciting for you!
I don't know about the unfill either,   my guess would be to go on softer foods, but I would think even if there was swelling, you band is looser.

Keep us updated on your pregnancy!
