I am new here (been lurking for months, but this is my 1st post). I jsut had to reply to this post though.

I had my surgery Sept 1, 2009, so I am almost 7 months out. I have not had ANY fills to this point and am down 105 lbs to date. I have PLENTY of restriction, trust me. I had some drama about 4 months post op and had to have my port removed (due to an absess around the part area), so I don't even have a way to have a fill. My dr says he has had a couple of patients that have gone 6+ months before their 1st fill, but they had not lost as much as me. So we are in no hurry to put the port back in.

Just had to put my 2 cents in.

Went for a fill four days ago started with 3.7 and have total of 5cc today. I am way to tight I have to eat Soup for Breakfast lunch and supper. I have tried to eat other things like pringles chips they go down good i have had a very thin slice cheese.I tried spaggetti with meat sauce and it kept slimming up and felt the tight feeling in my chest. So then I just stuck with potato soup which goes down just fine. I sure hope it losens up soon. How long do you guys have to wait till you can eat solids after a good fill??

      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.
