Hi! I had my surgery feb 8th. So far I've lost about 25 lbs. The problem is that when I get a fill I can't really tell a big difference. When the dr is doing it I just can't really feel anything. Is this weird? I'm getting hungry about 2 hours after I eat. My next fill is tues and my dr said he wanted me to be down 6lbs by then so far I'm only down 3!!

It can take up to 6 fills before you feel any restriction. It took me till my 3rd fill to feel the slightest bit of restriction.

I'm with toomuchfun...it took 4 mths till my 3rd fill to finally feel it. I didn't lose but maybe 3 lbs during this time cuz I ate just as I had pre band.

Patience is the key. Some people it takes from 2-6 fills before they feel any kind of difference at all. It WILL happen. Relax and follow all your rules...

      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.
