I heard 8cc is a good number on a 14cc band, can't wait for the next fill which will put me at 8cc - 8.5cc depending on what the doc decides to put in. I am back to the starving feelings and I hate it.

That's great! I had my 3rd fill this previous Wednesday. I have 6.5 cc in a 14cc band. I feel absolutely no restriction at all. Looking forward to my next fill on May 8th, hoping that one will do the trick.

Sorry it took so long to reply, I was on a mini vacation. Yes 8.4cc is VERRRRRRRRYYYYYY restricting. I have to drink slow. Before now, I use to be able to drink at least 4-5 16.9 oz bottles of Water a day. Now Im down to 3 bottles because of how slow i drink . The water will quickly fill you up if youre not paying attention. But YES you must chew very very well. I learned in the beginning when I was chewing some pineapples and i had to hold my arms up for at least 15 minutes before it started to slide down. WHILE JUMPING. LOL but im a pro now.

      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.
