I had my first fill last week - no restriction - so now I am back to dieting again as I too have gained 2 pounds back and would be heartbroken to see the scale go up. I go for another fill in three weeks. Is this what they call bandster H.ll?

I too went last wednesday for my first fill. I can eat more than I should, but am trying to "diet" before my next fill July 7th. They put 5ccs in my 10cc band, but had to take 1cc out because I couldn't even keep Water down. I threw up like five times when they filled me. I hate that he took 1cc out, but am ok with it now. I will just bide my time and go from here. I just ate cottage cheese with sugar free peaches and "love" to hear the sounds made when the food is emptying. I am having a little difficulty with bread though, (I KNOW, not a bad thing...just stay away from it) and am trying to stay away from it! I still have a difficult time wrapping my head around it all. I am only down 21 since surgery and have been fighting the last three lbs up and down. I hate this part, but I got fat over years and am trying to remember that in five weeks 100lbs is not going to melt off of me. :unsure:

      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.
