Fills DO work, if YOU work with it.

I have 4.8cc in my band for my first fill. Today is the first day I'm allowed to eat soft solids

after being on liquids for the first 24 hours, then graduating to mushies yesterday.

We went to Olive Garden for my younger brother's graduation dinner and I ordered off the kids

menu of chicken with broccoli. I had a few bites of the Zuppa Soup that came along with it (eating most

of the kale in the Soup instead of the potatoes) and barely took four bites before I was completely full

and satisfied.

Maybe it's my honeymoon stage, but I have tuned in with my body alot since surgery and I

am learning so much about when to stop eating, when to eat, etc.

I know fills will work if you give it time. And everyone is different...someone with the same amount

of cc fill may not agree with me, but I'm just sharing a few positive thoughts for those who are curious about

band fills.

Happy Banding :0)

      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.
