I got my first fill yesterday, and my doctor wouldn't tell me the amount! He said that he's found it counterproductive to tell patients because they fret about whether it's too much/too little. All he would say was "it's the standard amount for a patient with a 10cc band." I thought about pushing the issue - because legally, I do have a right to know that information - but I like my surgeon a lot and decided to just chill out. So far, I feel fine and the liquids are going down fine. How long do you have to stay on liquids? I was a little bummed because I thought it was just 24 hours for me, but then when I re-read the materials to prepare for my appt, I saw it was 48+ hours!

My dr wants the rest of the day of the fill and the next day liquids & then the next three days after that soft foods. I go back again aug 7th for my next fill I'm excited though!

My first fill I alredy had 4cc's, they added 1.5 cc's. My band is either 14cc or 16cc I don't remember which. In a week and half they will give me another 1.5 cc's so I am at 7 cc's.

My first fill was 4 cc's and my second fill was 3 cc's. Still NO RESTRICTIONS YET!!!!!!! Going for my 3rd fill next Friday.

My first was 3 cc's. 24 hours full liquids then 24 hours mushies. Keeping in mind you probably won't get restriction from your first fill; in general it can take up to two weeks for a fill to take affect.

      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.
