What size is your band? I'm assuming you got banded in the last 2 months. You have no information for us to work with. And usually if this is your initial "fill" teh doctor is guessing as well on when you will notice a difference. Everybody is different in what works as a restriction.

We need more information?

Best wishes and keep the faith.

Anniek38, contact your doctor's office and they will tell you what size of band. And everytime you go to get a "fill" in the future, ask the doctor for how much fill he/she put in. It's important information to have and you should know what's in your body.

Check my signature at the bottom of my post. You can put one in yours. I copied someone else's and pasted it my profile, then I modified it. This is the easy way unless you like typing.

Hugs

Best wishes and Keep the Faith

Ok iv had my first fill I feel no different no restriction am I soppose to right away? Im at 4cc

It will take a few fills before you feel any restriction. You are in what is referred to as Bandster Hell, the time period before you reach restriction. It will be hard but you need to follow the band rules and eat 1 cup of food per meal, Protein first and drink your Water. Yes, it will feel like a diet but you can do this. It will take several fills before you feel restriction.

Good luck.

      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.
