I had my surgery on Aug 6th as well and my first fill on Sept 19, I hope. I have loss 11.5 pounds since then so that is about 1.8 per week. Had 10 days without any weight loss, so I am hoping my Dr. will give me a fill. I am very detailed with my journel with weight, exercise, foods with amounts and my calories, although dr. said don't worry about calories, just low fat, low carb and 80gr of Protein. I will be curious to see what you get for your fill so we can compare.

Wish you luck

I had 4 ccs and no restriction. Just got back from my 2nd and now I have 7 cc in my band. But I had also gained 3 pounds after my first fill. However, I had no restriction whatsoever. I could eat a whole plate of food at meal time over 20 min and feel satisfied. My doc said i'm only supposed to be able to eat 1/3 plate of food over 20 min and feel stuffed.

Am I the only one whose surgeon won't tell how many cc's? My fills are always under fluroscope and when I asked how much... He said he doesn't tell the patients because every one is different as far as what is needed... So I have no idea.

My 1st was 2.5cc. My doc says thats standard for a 1st fill. I had about .5cc's in already. So that puts me at 3 cc's.

My doctor won't tell me either. I went for my first fill on 9-11 and I asked how ,uch and he said that is for him to know and he is the doctor and I do not need to worry about it. Frustrating, I am a need to know kind of person. However, I feel no different with this first fill.

Had my first fill today and she said it was the "standard" first fill. Granted I said I did not want to over do it....just baby steps. Actually I feel no different at all. I will get another in 4 weeks.

      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.
