How much is your doc putting in each time? Some docs are aggressive, some are conservative. Welcome to bandster hell!

if the saline wasnt going into the port it would be going into your subQ tissue and you would know it. Im pretty sure he is getting the Fluid in :D

I was wondering the same, after my first fill of 3cc, I didn't feel much different. ( i thought maybe he missed):unsure: Might be getting alittle fuller faster, but that is about it. I have yet to experience any sickness , "stuck feeling" or restriction. I dont have to take small bites either. The food I eat is soft for the most part, but I thought it was going to be alot different not complaining, trust me. But I do wish the weight loss was faster. I lost 20 pounds since the July 19 so I can' t really complain. Still learning thats for sure, its amazing how different the band is for each of us. I'm so greatful my band and I are friends.:D

      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.
