i have 2 Snacks at work also

so i would not say i am going without food in between

but i am keeping it to 1200 cals per day

cept weekends are harder!!!

It sounds like you are on track...I carry snacks every day to work...sometimes I eat them, sometimes not. If you can stay in your calorie range then I don't think you need a fill. There is no rule that you have to have one - you'll know when you need one.

i had an appt yesterday for a fill and called to reschedule

my son graduates from college in June and i dont want to have ANYTHING go wrong between now and then

i will be in the car for days and dealing with my EX

i think thats enough for now

38 down

yes i do eat between meals

must have Snacks, have always been that way

just keeping it at 1200 total per day

so maybe the 17th of June i will get one, maybe not

i eat to fast also i know and i drink with meals

try not to drink much but do have some liquid with no probs

i know that wont be the case after a fill

plus doc is 2 hours away!!

If you aren't hungry all the time, you don't need a fill. For me, my hunger was much less just when I got the band then I had one fill and bam, it was totally gone.

Did he put Fluid in when you had the band placed? Mine did. I had 4 cc after surgery. Didn't know that until went for 6 wk visit. Have only had one fill , so I gave 5 cc and good restriction. Down 61 lb in 3 months. Guess it is different for everyone

That sounds like what my doctor would do. If we are losing 1-2 lbs a week he doesn't see any need for a fill. If not, and we aren't having any problems, then he will consider giving another fill.

      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.
