Hi everyone!

Sorry its been a while i was banded on 12/7/10 and it has been some ride let me tell you. I have had several episodes with trying new foods i have felt the "stuck" sensation. I have eaten foods that i shouldnt have. I have lost weight but fill fat though. i get my second fill tomorrow i have a 14ml lapband the larger one. and so far my last adjustment was 2.5ml which is a start. that whole experience was a trip i didnt even know i had the adjusment it was a easy. some problems finding my port though because im a big guy but so far i have lost will say 15lbs not doing a whole lot of exercise yet. eating good most of the time my vice thus far is chips and salsa.

I'm only two weeks post op. Do you feel any pain after a fill? My doctor wants me to wait 8 weeks before my first fill. The surgery was so painful for me, I'm hoping a fill isn't.

Thanks,

the adjusments are not that bad the first adjusment was simple i was focused so much on expected pain i didnt even know i was done. second fill went great as well now i have to get the right amount of Fluid in my band so i am not hungry all the time.

      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.
