I am so glad that there are other people that can relate to my same problem. I waited 7 weeks for my first fill and my Dr. makes you wait 6 weeks in between fills. He added 3.5 ccs on my first fill and I have no restriction. I have been trying to do this on my own by just walking away in the middle of meals. I have been exercising very hard every day, and not drinking with my meals. I could have been doing all of this on my own. I don't understand why they make you wait so long.

How much are you eating one week post-op??
vicki h replied to BellaPerdente's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had my surgery on 7/15 and am having the same problems. I feel no restriction but am just trying to be mentally strong on what and how much I eat. I am on soft foods. Today I had eggs in the morning, chicken salad for lunch and a protein shake for dinner. I am also working out every day which is making me feel a lot better! -
I am hungry and trying to figure out what I can eat to get by. I don't feel any restraints from the band and don't want to do anything to worsen my situation. Just want to find something that if filling and tastes good.

Post-op: How long until you progressed to solid food?
vicki h replied to Constance's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That is so wierd that all of these are different. I was just two days clear liquids, five days full liquids, after 1 week soft food, and introduce solid foods two weeks after surgery. That is scary these are all so different! -
Officialy denied.
vicki h replied to kstate_armywife's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was denied also and just would not take no for an answer. I went to the qualifying supervisor and had her review it. I think it is all about who gets a hold of your file. Just drive them crazy, that is what I did! Banded last week! -
I did not have any that I was aware of either, until I had a sleep study and found out I had Sleep Apnea. That is what got me approved. You never know!

I have been banded six days now and yesterday, I started feeling hungry. I started eating soft foods yesterday. I don't feel like there is any restriction. I have not been drinking while eating and trying to eat small amounts, but I am scared I won't make it through six weeks of this before my first fill. I have lost 14 pounds since I started the liquid diet prior to surgery and don't want to gain it back. I would like to lose. Any suggestions?

I was banded by Schuster on 7/15/08. I was approved by Anthem but the whole process took about 3 months. Good luck!

Hi! This is my first post! I was banded on 7/15/08. Today is the first day that I have really felt hungry, so I am having a hard time with that. I have lost 4 pounds since surgery. Any advice for this first stage?
