Yeah, I got my yesterday. At the doctor's office I could barely hold down Water but the tightness is already disappearing (I think) b/c I could hold down watery oatmeal this morning. Someone told me it leaves after a week - geez, I really want the tightness to stay!! Good luck!!

Tiff- I don't get my 2nd fill until Feb 25. I know I felt no different after the first one though. Most people aren't hungry the day they get their fill, but I was ravenous within an hour.

I'm doing okay thanks for asking. Getting in 2 miles a day, upping the Protein, Water and calories. We'll see what happens. I am praying that the next four weeks go fast or someone cancels their appt lol

my first fill was 3cc i had to eat liquids for 48 hours. I felt resriction for two 1/2 weeks then got the stomach flu had to go to hospital. when you have the band its hard for stuff to come back up when you get a bug. you have to go to ER to get meds to stop it. Anyway I think it stretched the band or something ever since i have no resriction. I go for next fill next week and i'm going to ask the dr about it. Just wanted to warn ya bout the bug. i went to the hospital where i got my band and they rushed me straight back and gave me something to stop the vomit. hope your restriction last, can't wait till i get mine next week. How many calories are you eating?

I was counting my calories n i was trying 2 eat around 1000-1100 a day then my doc told me nt 2 count calories bc Im nt on a diet???? so I really dnt know what 2 do after my 2nd day of fluids is over. my doc sd I should take 2-3 bites of food n b full. how am i suppose 2 count calories off that??? I know every doc is different im going 2 follow this booklet he gave me n hopefully it works. when i gt home from the gym 2nite i tried 2 eat some yogurt 2 tea spoons was all I could manage. maybe Ill try some beef broth 2morrow.,. :-) Im on the move

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
