Congratulations. My first fill is scheduled jan 23rd. I am 4 weeks post op. Let me ask ya, before your first fill did you feel super hungry like your 3 meals a day didn't satisfy you and now the saline fill allows you to feel really satisfied after eatin your meals? If so how many hours go by before you are ready for your next meal? Thanks..

Ive had 2 fills so far and have noticed not one thing yet. Now I know it will come eventually but so far still willpower and it is hard every day but determined to stay the course god willing :). I havent done as well as most...I mean I am doing all I am supposed to and eating the right amts but just not the fast results like some on here are experiencing. I am happy I have had a 30 lb loss so far but still I myself was hoping for more by this time (surgery 10-22-12). My dr is very pleased in fact didnt really want to give me a fill on 1-2-13 but told him I was so hungry all the time.

We are all different but still cant help but get frustrated when you read someone who has had surgery 4 weeks ago and has lost more weight in less than half the time?!! But it is what it is and we are all different. Hoping for the next fill to do a little something :)

Yup, I was STARVING, lol! I am on liquids for a day and then soft foods for a day or two. I am scheduled or another fill in April. However, my doc said if I notice in the next couple weeks I am still hungry that I should not wait and come in for another fill.

Wow congratulations. I can't wait to b there. I won't get a fill till week 4 post-op but doc said I had a small fill at surgery. Ya I'm starving at times but he said if I'm hungry to eat. Just keep up high Protein to stay satisfied longer n lots of Water. I'm eating bout 3/4 cups about 4-5 Times a day. Hope that's fine.

      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.
