yes, i am guessing because you are still (swollen from surgery and now your fill) but that being said, you must keep sipping your liquids (and get as much Protein in as you can as that is your fuel). i am from a place where i eat when i am hungry. i am not on a diet or a set schedule...i just eat (better things). congrats on your surgery and that first fill :)

I had the same issues with some of my fills. My doctor told me to just do liquids for at least 24 hours, when I got my 4th fill and they put in 2 cc they told me to do liquids for 48 hours. I just sipped Water and sipped Protein shakes for that time and that was enough to keep me satisfied.

I was told that sometimes after a fill you swell a bit and that causes some extra restriction that will go away after a few days. Just make sure you are getting liquids in the worst thing to do is dehydrate yourself- trust me- been there done that and you think you will die!

I am told after evry fill.....stay to liquids for 24 hrs after the fill.....and I dont think Im hungry during that time.....

Im not sure if its just I know I cant eat or if its cuz Im not hungry...

I will have to watch and see after next fill.....but Im in the green so im hoping that wont be for a while....good luck and congrats !

Thanks for the input guys, it has made me feel better hearing your experiences. Carolinagirl I am going to stick to the same theory, no hunger no food. Good luck all with your journey guys.

      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.
