In a week I'm having my first fill. Getting a bit nervous, as I have no restriction at this point. My surgeon doesn't put anything in the band during surgery, so its an empty 14cc! Did most of you do liquids one to two days after, then mushies then solids?

I'm having my first fill next week also. Its been 12 weeks and I've lost about 30 pounds. I also have no restrictions and I'm looking forward to aid from a fill. I put mine off till after the holidays. Hope to get back on track with the new year.

My doctor told me to do liquids the day of, a few days after and then mushies for a few days.

I too have a 14cc band that was empty until this morning. I recieved 3cc's and the surgeon had no special eating instructions. He said to eat and drink as I have been, just to make sure to eat very slowly and chew very well. I think I will do the liquids for a couple days and then mushies also just to be safe. I had a very easy time with the fill, and have an appointment for my 2nd fill in 2 weeks :rolleyes:

      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.
