Im going today to have some removed.. I went yesterday and the removed all my flood to see how much was in there .. I had 7.5 and have not had a fill since jan.. He put that back and added .5 now I can't even get liquids down:(

Just wondering how long it will take for me to be able to drink again after he removes some

If he removes some and you still can't swallow some Water, he needs to take some more Fluid out, a little at a time until you can drink Clear Liquids. Don't leave his office without testing the fill by drinking some water. Especially on a Friday! You could have a really miserable weekend with a band that's too tight.

:) You could help "train" the new doc. Someone's gotta do it! Tell him/her that you need to test the fill before you leave the office and don't let him/her leave the room until you're both satisfied that everything's OK.

      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.
