I received my 3rd fill on Tuesday and all I can say is wowsers. I hardly eat and when I do I feel full yippee.. Is this what I have been waiting for? The second day was extremely hard I kept getting stuck. I have to retrain myself again.. :thumbup:

I think you are doing good. There may be some swelling, so you may get a bit looser over the next few days. Are you able to get in enough calories and protien? If you can't, I would give it a few days and then call the doctor if it persists. You don't want to be so tight you can't eat enough.

Glad to hear that..that is what I am hoping for on my 3rd fill in a month. I have had 2 so far and do have a little restriction but can still eat 2cups of food before I start feeling full! I am hving a bad week and eating more than I should and food I shouldnt be eating...but Im getting back on track..I am hoping I get that feeling with my 3rd!! Good luck!

I am 100% right where you are......23 days to my 3rd fill, I am praying I get that restriction everyone talks about that "wowzers" feeling! I can surely eat 2 cups.....and still get hungry 2 hours after eating..food is still on my mind all the time (bummer). But, I am walking and journaling everyday hopefully that will get me through!

Thanks for sharing your fill experiences.... we all seem to be going through a similar experience and trying to reach that place. I've only had one fill of 4cc and feel no restriction. I could also easil consume two cups of food. It's tough!!!! How long do you have to wait between fills?

So far it has been 4 weeks between fills.

I have a 3d fill scheduled for Friday. I have a total of 6 cc right now. The first week after the second fill I had some restriction but it went away. My doctor says at least 3 weeks between fills. I was originally schedule to get the fill on 11/11 but I really would like some restriction. I have stopped loosing and am working out every day. Kind of frustrating because I am weighing my food and counting calories and not getting anywhere.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
