I had ZERO restriction until I got my second fill. Then I was overfilled and had to get a slight unfill. now I have mild restriction and need a little put back in.

As far as gaining the weight you just stopped smoking and when I quit I gained 20+ lbs, make sure your not eating to substitute smoking when you feel the need for a smoke go for a walk take a warm bath even brush your teeth anything either then eating.

Good Luck.

I also had no restriction even after first fill. I am scheduled for second fill this week and hope to feel the difference. Good for you for quitting smoking! That's huge. Don't beat yourself up. You will even out and start to get results.;)

      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.
