hello everyone had my first fill yesterday ; ive got 5cc in a 14cc band ,i think thats right!! omg the restriction is back [good thing] the nurse told me i had 2cc in the band when it was fitted so i did have a little ! its been 6 weeks since my op and ive lost 14lb , a total of 70lb [56 pre op]. i can fit into jeans i havent worn for 3 years, hooray!! made an omlette today 4 eggs a pinch of cheese and ham and ate a quarter and that was it ! 10 mins later it had returned, so now i know my limits, also the hunger feelings have gone. had a few bad experiences with some foods, steak , crabstix and potato wedges, iam now going to avoid them totally .it feels like a golfball stuck in your throat!! looking forward to more weightloss and enjoying christmas more this year as well as hanging up my stocking i can actually put mine on without fainting!!!!!!!;)

how long do you have to be on liquids after each fill? did you all the stages again i.e. clear... full... mushy and then soft foods?

      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.
