I'm so excited today!! Last Friday I had another fill and I was nervous/sad that it might be like the past ones and just after a few days I'm still really hungry and not that full and only losing a few pounds that first week only to be able to eat normal and gain it all back. BUT this week I have been feeling the fullness so easily and have actually lasted the whole week with only 1 cup of food filling me up and not being hungry in between meals!! I'm so excited to say that I've lost 9 lbs this week and have been following the program with ease! I never thought I'd get to this point where I would be a week out and still feel my band, I love it & really hope I'm in my zone now! :)

Maybe yes, maybe no.....many people feel the effects after a fill...due to inflammation, but then it goes away within a month....

Many people I Know get a little "taste" or "Tease" of the good things to come....either way you are right at the doorstep...if it goes away, maybe as little as 1/2 cc will be all you need to get you back..........

Curious...you say you feel full?? Or is it more of a feeling that you just do not want to, or cannot, continue eating.......

Also, you are not hungry between meals...understood...but when it comes time for a meal, are you sincerely hungry? or is it just that you know you need to eat...and it's time to eat....

      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.
