Congrats, I'm hoping for the same results with less fills! My first fill is a week away!

FYI, your font is hard to read, you may want to consider changing it :)

I had my surgery back in Feb, and have had 2 fills with zero weight loss and no feeling of restriction. I am starting to feel that maybe it's not working for me.. So depressed. Then I read your post and it gives me hope, I have a third fill scheduled for the middle of July, hopefully it will be the fill that works wonders for me as well. Thank you for your post!

Congratulations! I'm right there with you. Finally with 2nd fill have true restriction. 7ccs. Go to Dr. June 16th and don't think I need a third at least right now. Lost 60 so far. Feb 7th surgery 2011. True restriction finally means knowing what everyone has been talking about! Now tiny bites, chewing well and eating very slowly. It does work!

Can i ask A question, do you have a special diet for fills? do you follow it? we are told Clear liquids for 2 days, shakes for 2 days, soft foods 2 days, and then normal food> Anybody else?? and if not what do you do after fills ???

I had a third fill which made 7ccs in my band. For a long time I had great restriction, but now it seems like I can eat more different foods. I'm thinking the 20 pounds I lost after the 3rd fill may have caused my band to be less tight. I'm having to watch what I eat now to not gain until I can have a 4th fill in July. It was perfect restriction.....phooey! :)

      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.
