I forgot to ask today before I left the dr.'s office......do I have to do the usual 48 hour liquid diet even after an UNfill?

My doctor's protocol is to do clear liquids the 1st day, full liquids (including mushy foods) the 2nd day, and then regular food - as tolerated - the 3rd day.

Whether a fill or an un-fill, there can be irritation/swelling that needs a few days to heal.

Hope this helps ~ and when in doubt, call your doctor!

Docs differ a little in their instructions.  Mine says rest of the day on liquids, start with clear and move to full.  If tolerated move to mushies the next day.  Back to soft working to regular foods on the third.  If anything isn't well tolerated back it up to liquids and start again:)

I just had an unfill and I would suggest liquids till tomorrow to let the irritation calm down. In the past I didnt go to liquids and ended up doing them 1-2 days later due to irritation and swelling.

I've had one unfill and the instructions were the same as my fill instructions:  liquids till evening, then mushies, back to solids the next day as tolerated.

Hang in there on your UNfill.  I had one about 4 weeks ago and they're going to start adding more fluid today.  It can be hard, but I'm so glad we went ahead & decided on it.  If you start stressing, there's an article about unfills in Jean M's "Bandwagon" newsletter.

Take care!
