How many ccs constitute an aggressive first-time fill?

Also, on what day do you get to eat solids? For me, it's day 22. I'm just curious about patients at other clinics.

My dr is conservative. I think my first fill was 1cc. He doesn't like it to be to tight. His motto is we can always add more.

I was banded on December 9..... I was on 3 weeks of liquid then mushies.... On January 1 for a week then I was able to move to solids at almost 4 weeks post op

My clinic only does 1cc fills...........easier to creep up to restriction than to blow right past it and try to figure out what to take out. I did blenderized and pureed on post op day 14 for a week and then graduated to finely chopped ground meats about 10 days after that.

My first fill was 2.2 cc on Wednesday. Went back Friday to get an unfill since I was not able to keep Water down. Im now at 1.4 cc.

Were you able to lose weight being on liquids in those 3 weeks? Did u still have to aim for 1200 (or less) calories while on liquids?

I just had my second fill a week ago. Between my first and 2nd fill was 2 weeks (family situation brought be back to the city where my dr is - 6hr drive so I decided to ask for a fill. as I was in town) I did not lose anything in those 2 weeks. I have 5 weeks between fill 2 and 3 so will get a better idea. I do try to stick to 1200 calories/day. The last 2 days have been tough but am regrouping in my head for a great week.

      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.
