Every doc is different. Yours should have told you already? Some give them in 30 days and some not for months and months. Depends on how you are doing without it?

Yes we are. This last fill has been very different though. I'm very restricted right now almost wondering if its to tight. I'm also ruining a low grade temp. I called the dr to see if I am to tight, he said to give it until tomorrow and if I'm not any better he will remove some Fluid. It took me an hour to eat chobani yogurt, and 3 bites of poached eggs for dinner I had 4 bites of chicken noodle Soup. I'm now trying to eat mango sorbet. Dr did say the fever isn't related to the fill, but anything I eat or drink hurts going down feels like a stuck episode.anyone else experience this?

Sounds too filled to me. Try liquids only for another day, then mushies. Don't forget that you guys have to be able to tolerate dense Protein or you are too tight. Make sure you do liquids a couple days after your fill. Hope you feel better soon!

I'm hoping for my 3rd fill tomorrow, Dec 11. My doctor wants too keep me at about 2 pounds a week whether you're hungry or not. He wants you to work at this weight control by adjusting in your brain and making wise choices. I almost begged for my 2nd fill. I'm close to 6 pounds of weight loss since my last fill, so I'm short 2 pounds. I'm hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that I receive my 3rd.

Best wishes

      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.
