A lot of people don't feel restriction with their first fill...I hope you do though! I personally didn't reach good restriction until fill # 5!

For me I think it was fill #6 or 7, and six months after surgery before I really had restriction. The wait was frustrating, but since I finally reached restriction it's been smooth sailing!

For me it was three fills. I too felt a lot of hunger until then. Don't be discouraged. The fills will work, just need to be patient.

Another big thing is WHEN you get on Solids , don't eat too soon after & make sure you eat some sort of meat Protein. This helps me stay full longer. I rty to wait 40 min atleast befor eI drink :-)

Thanks to all who have replied thus far. I must admit that at first I think I was eating too big of a bite and eating too fast. Then I corrected those problems. I am evaluating everything I eat now and I am at the point where I am now scared when I eat (is there anybody else like this).

      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.
