It's not uncommon for people to need multiple fills before having adequate Fluid in their band. It usually takes months for this happen because the band is typically filled slowly.

So, be patient. It will come but it will take time to reach that point. In the meantime, stick to your daily calorie allowance, make sure your meals are a cup or less of food, and make sure to get in all your Protein. (plus Protein keeps you satisfied longer)

Best wishes

Like Missy says, until you get adequate fills, it's just another diet. I'm right there with you. I've had one fill and hopefully getting another next week. Hang in there, once you get enough fills the band will help you along, but it does take time.

He said that I need a adjustment some saline added. So I have a week to go! While I continue to do as he and you all instructed me to do.. Much love everyone

      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.
