Had my third fill today. I now have 7 cc's in my 14 cc band. with the bigger band I was told it is normal to have between 7 and 8 cc's. Hopefully this is the fill that will do it for me. I still only go about 2 hours during the day between eating. I realy do not want to have hunger pains anymore. My weight loss is good at 54 pounds and I sett my goal at 10 pounds a month from now on.

10 lbs a month is a great goal, that's my goal too. I have 7.8cc's in my 14cc band and I haven't lost restriction after 5 days, keeping my fingers crossed. I have an appt for my third fill on the 16th if I need it.

I hope it's enough for you!

I'm desperately trying to figure out if I will need another fill or not because I have free fills for one more month, and airfare is cheaper when you can avoid buying at the last minute. I'm leaning towards just going and seeing if I can't squeeze just a touch more in. I'm at 6.4 (I think it was .4) in a 10cc band.

i am sitting on the fence about my 3rd fill. I can go 4-5 plus hours all day long with out hunger. I have 6 cc in a 10 cc band

I get full at dinner after my salad. BUT at night about hours after dinner the snacking begins to call my name, I have almonds or cheese. and once in a while a few pieces of chocolate.< /p>

Does anybosy think a fill will help me at this time> I do not want to be to tight, ive never had any stucks, thro ups or anything,

any opinions >>??:huh:

To me it sounds like you have restriction, if you can go that long without hunger. I get the late night munchies too, and I just down a bottle of Water and ignore it if I can ;)

Don't be jealous, you've lost more than I have on less fills! I think you have more determination than anyone I've ever met ;)

after the third fill I am getting full faster which is great! I still go through times when I am hungery every two hours. Maybe that is just going to be normal for me.

OK after my fill I'm at 6cc's... looks like so far all of us in this thread are between 6 and 8cc's. Very interesting. When she told me she was going to add 2 more cc's I was surprised, 6 sounds like so much, so I'm glad to see you're all where I'm at laugh.gif

I just scheduled my 3rd fill for the 23rd of this month. I wish I could go sooner as it seems like I've been able to eat too much and too well lately.

Did anybody else feel nothing much from their first fill?

I had my 1st Monday and really don't notice much, I've been really careful this week till today when my tummy said lady I am hungry.

Made my own healthy pizza tonight and enjoyed my piece a lot. That and a fresh nectarine.

I didn't get much from my first fill either - I was "restricted" for about 5 days, but now I realize that it was just swollen from the fill. My second fill has lasted much longer now, it's been 8 days and I still have pretty good restriction. I have my 3rd fill appt on the 16th (next Thursday) so I'll see what my surgeon says at that time.

I didn't notice much with my first fill. Not even swelling that I know of, but I was pretty cautious and did liquids and mushies for a while.

      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.
