I was to have my first fill today, it was postponed due to the snow. I lost 28 lbs the first 5 weeks (and dropped 2 sizes, I've gone from a 20 to a 16) and have stayed the same for the last 3. I Thought I would of had a fill by now and I'm disapointed I haven't lost anymore. I do realize it's a process and I'm trying to be patient. My scars are healing fine and I feel pretty good. What about you, how are you doing?? Leslie

I had my first fill on Feb. 3, and I am feeling some restriction, but not feeling really tight. I thought a fill would work miracles, but it didn't, of course. I lost 30 dieting 6 weeks before the surgery and only 20 or so in the 7 weeks since the surgery, so it has been a little frustrating. But I'm still averaging 3 lbs a week, so I guess it's okay. I guess patience is the hardest part.

I was banded by Dr. O on 1/20 and will go for my first fill on 2/26 (was to be 2/19, but I'm out of town). What fills have you had? Wonder when I can get my second fill.

I go for my first fill on the 17th of Feb. I'm from Salem County. where in NJ are you from? My fill was originally scheduled for the 10th but was cancelled due to the weather. Most people are on there 2nd or 3rd fill by now. Not sure why my doctor is so cautious. Right now I can eat just about everything. It's tuff. Thanks for replying, Leslie

      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.
