Is this a normal weight loss in the begining? I am going on my third week and really don't know what to expect. I feel like I can eat more then my 2 ounces but don't want to push it, my concern is that I can't get my fill until 4 more weeks. Do doctors usually make you wait 6 weeks before a fill?

My doctor won't do it for 6 weeks. I'm hoping to go back and get it done over Easter weekend but not sure how busy it is in Mexico at that time.

I had my surgery on Feb 20th and I've lost 22 lbs but man I'm starting to get hungryyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I ate things yesterday that I know I shouldn't have and I'll try to not do it again but I'm so hungry.

Good Luck and continued success with your journey...

Congrats on your 25 lb loss....hope you keep it off and continue losing more before your fill.

      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.
