I had my first fill a week ago today and it is 2cc in a 12cc band, which didn't really do anything for me. I have my next one on Friday the 6th and I'm hoping I get some restriction with this one. I know it's different for everybody, but I'm curious, how long did it take you to get to your "green zone" and how big is your band? Thanks!

Hi, my band is 11cc and I have 5cc. I have a bit of restriction but can still eat to much I think. I am hoping my third fill does it. Good luck.

I am still not in my green zone and it seems to be hard to find it....I have 4.75 cc in a 10 cc band, but that was after my third de-fill taking out .25 cc. I was really tight there, and seem to be soooo loose in the evenings now.

I'm ready for my next fill! I want to hit that green zone soon! I have about a week or so left until my next appt. Not sure what band I have but for my lapband card, I was told it was large. Wonder if that means its the 14cc one?? I have 5.4 cc in right now.

Thanks for your stories everyone! I am hoping my doctor will try at least another 2 or 3cc. I tried to schedule it a little earlier but he only does fills on Fridays.

      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.
