I was banded October 1st this year ....I have had 2 fills so far I have a 10cc band and 3cc of Fluid in it.

I got my las fill last Tuesday .... I have noticed a huge diffrence I don't get hungry at all I have to make my self eat.

I can last all day with out eating anything .... I do drink my coffee and Vitamins in the morning....and I have lost 2lbs since my last fill....I'm wondering if i'm in that sweet spot everyone talks about :)

another thing I can't eat no more then 1/2 cup of anything.... what do y'all think?

Does it go away?

Not if you follow good eating habits and stay consistent with 1 cup of food each meal. The reason why people think it goes away is because they might over eat more each meal and the pouch may change somewhat.(stretch). Try and keep a certain amount of calories each day. I am around 1200-1300 calories in 3 meals. Remember if you think you're starving, drink crystal light flavor drinks, SF popsicles or SF Jello. You must control what you put in your mouth each day. Be consistent and stay in the zone all the time.

Best wishes

As you adjust yourself to the current fill level you may find after a bit that you need another 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.
