I had my first fill today and it's been about 4 hours since I last had something in my tummy. I'm on liquids so all I've had is Water, crystal light, chicken broth and a mocha (bad I know). . . I have gas that is moving around and making noises, lol! Is this normal?

Thanks for the warning! I had my first fill today but so far nothing. I've had some water and am having hot cocoa right now. I am hungry though. They said you wouldn't be after a fill but I am. How many cc's did you get? He put in 1.5 cc's in me. Did you have any in there from your surgery?

Not that you directed the questions to me, but thought I'd let you know that Protein shakes are good for hunger at this time.

I got 3cc in an empty band.

he said he put in 2 or 3 cc's, didn't seem like he was real sure! I could tell I had some restriction though even after the swelling went down. In the last week I was able to eat more and got hungry about every 3 or 4 hours but certainly couldn't eat anywhere near what I use to.

I was surprised today when he said he only put in 1.5cc's from what I have read here. I guess I will see how it goes.

      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.
