I had my first fill Monday. My doc only put 1cc in my 10cc band. He didn't put anything in during the surgery. I'm a little worried about not feeling the restriction either. He said everybody is different and some people may need 5 fills, whereas some will only need 2. He will only fill once per month, so I'm hoping to feel restriction soon.

This is when you really need patience. Some docs are ultra conservative so you either have to just be patient, or find another doc. My doc is also banded, don't have a clue if that makes any difference at all, but he is aggressive with fills. After reading these posts, I was shocked when he said he put in 2cc the first time. I only have a 4cc band. I loved it though, and I now have 2.75cc. I also love this. The docs are mostly protecting themselves. It is understandable with all the sue happy people out there. You may need many fills or maybe 2 or 3. I hope you get restriction soon. Hugs.....

      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.
