Today was my first fill in the doctors office I was scared but everything went OK he told me lay down got a needle and said it was a pinch it was true didn't hurt at all he put in 3ccs it felt weird going in then he said get up and drink this Water. I did but I could only take sips slowly he said relax give it couple minutes then I felt fine.I felt like I wanted to burp while drinking water I went home and feel fine liquids for 24hours .

I got mine on Tuesday! They put in 4 cc and had me do the test with barium. When it didnt go down they removed 2 cc and had me do it again. It felt so weird but I definitly feel like it has made a difference!

When you say it didnt go down, does that mean it came back up? Or just didnt pass thru the band? I have such a hard time stomaching that stuff and if I puke it all up I dont know whether to blame the band or my dusgust! Lol. Was it the chaulky variety they had you take post-fill, or the more rancid applejuice sort? :shiver:

Mck - When I drink it it just didnt go down through my band so they said it was too much so they took some out. It was chalky but not bad. I was definitly glad they did it with the scan.

      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.
