I had a fill Monday.... swallowed my Water that day with no problem....I've been on liquids since...today I went to the emergency room found out I have step throat! My sugar free low cal Powerade is going down like cement. I called the doctors office and wouldn't u know it, they left early...feeling miserable! How do I help myself until morning? Will an illness make your band too tight?

First fill 3cc

Second fill 2cc

Third fill 1cc

Unfill .5 one week later

Fourth fill 1 cc

Total in my 10cc band is 6.5

Just keep your fluids up until you can reach the doctor tomorrow. Do they not have someone on call?

      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.
