My doctor put 4cc's in on my surgery date. My first fill he added one and yesterday another one cc, so six total. I'm on liquids today so I'm unsure about restriction yet. 4 cc's was enough until about mid March, so the first week in April I had my first fill. I really didn't notice much difference from 4 to 5. I'm hoping 5 to 6 makes a difference. If not, I'm scheduled to go in in another month. I did still lose 4 pounds from the first week in April to May 4th, but I was able to eat more than one cup of food and found that I was still hungry. We will see what 6 does.

Hello Everyone, Did all of you get a 2nd fill when you guys hit a plateau?

It was very weird for me. Nothing made a major diff w fills until I hit THE ONE, it was prolly only 1 cc, but it had a HUGE impact. I could not stop wt falling off, and I stayed that way for a yr. So YES, one fill can make a big difference. :)

I'm really not seeing much restriction with this last fill. I started journaling today to see what I'm actually eating, calorie, fat, and Protein. If I don't see much of a change by 5/31 when I go back I will show the dr.

      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.
