Hiccups, burps, etc. My full signal: I feel tightness in the back of my throat, if I take a bite after that feeling I start burping. I also watch the clock when eating I try hard not to eat faster than 10 minutes and stop at 20 min even if there is food left on my plate.

It sounds like you may need more fills. I know it takes many people months to find that green zone. :)

I'm the same as you, 4.5cc's in a 10cc band and I'm about to my green zone tho, I get hiccups or at least hiccup once and then it's kind of like the back of my throat will constrict like if I take one more bite it will all come back up, almost like a burp sensation and then I know, better not take another bite. Like others have said above about 20 mins usually whether there is food left or not. You might want to order our very own Jean McMillan's book Bandwagon and read that, she addresses all sorts of band issues like fullness and signals to look for. You can scroll to the bottom of the page and find the advertisement to order. It's a great read and a wonderful book to have around to go back and reference to. I am 4 mos post op. Good luck.

      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.
