I am on week 3 and can only eat a little bit before I get a full feeling. I go for a fill on 2/1 but the Dr. said they will see if I need it. I am nervous if I get a fill I won't be able to eat anything. I am hoping I am just swollen still and that is the reason I can't eat much of the mushies.

For those who have had one fill or no fills dont freak out. :) it will take a few to get to the"sweet spot" my friend hit hers at about fill 3. In the beginning you will eat more. My doctor will not tell how much he is putting in bc too many people get wrapped up in the#. I have no idea how much I have and shoot I'm not even sure the size of the band:) I know it is there thats all that matters.

The only thing I've had trouble eating so far is like dinner roll type bread or biscuits I think just sure to the consistency of the bread.

      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.
