I wondered how many fills it took people to reach a point where much less food kept them full for hours. I have had two fills and at first I was able to eat small amounts and stay full for hours. But both times after about two weeks I am getting really hungry again. Going back in a few days for my third fill.

I was actually wondering the same thing because i got my fill 2 weeks ago and i dont feel any different than i did before my fill. I cant wait till my second fill and feel a little more restriction because i cant stand the feeling of guilt everytime i eat a meal

You are so lucky! It took 5 months and seven fills before I felt any restriction. You are almost there! Good luck to :thumbup:you!

I've had 3 fills and one unfill in the last 4 weeks. The first was 3 cc...nothing. The second was 3 cc...just a bit of trouble with french bread. Third fill (see signature line) was 2 cc. At that point I couldn't eat most solids without getting stuck. They took 1 cc out today and I'm pretty sure I'm at my sweet spot.

I'm fortunate that I don't have a doctor that makes his patients wait months between fills...but then he has a band also and has first hand experience with it as well as 'book' knowledge.

Will this be my last fill? Who knows, but I am at the point where I have restriction and can eat 'normally' but not to excess.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
