This morning I woke up super tight. No worries just amazed that I haven't had a fill in months and felt loose, then bam tight.

I drank hot tea this morning and I feel better, but this just goes to show that just when you think you know your band it shows you that you don't!

I hear you! I had my second fill on 2/25 and it seems now I am really feeling the restriction. I'm so tight that I'm just eating Breakfast now. I seem to have problems with a lot of stuff initially, but then I loosen up. I manage to get those calories and the Protein in somehow LOL

The band is a fickle thing. I've been banded over a year and it never ceases to amaze me. I had good restriction for a few months,then decided to get a small fill. The first 2 days after the fill I could eat ANYTHING and not feel hungry at all! I even called the nurse thinking she had taken some out instead of putting some in as I hadn't been that hungry in MONTHS!!

Then BAM, about 2 weeks later, holy restriction Batman! I could hardly eat scrambled eggs. Then the next day, the sky's the limit.

In fact, from May-December I had no fill at all, and would have TOTALLY random episodes of restriction. There is no rhyme or reason with my band. I just follow wherever it leads :o

      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.
