You all know that feeling of fullness that happens in your stomach when you've had enough to eat..? Mine just disappeared! I'm not getting tht feeling anymore.. I've had 2 fills and still in a stage of bandaged hell. Although I was feeling some sort of fullness after a while of eating.. Now I don't. Idk how to explain it any better, but has anyone else experiences this??

Yes, mine started two weeks ago. I had excellent restriction up until then...now I know it's time for my second fill. Completely normal and thankfully fixable!

As long as you're not having any trouble with acid reflux or pain or anything else noticeable like that, you've probably just gotten looser because you've lost some weight. In rare cases you can have a leak but 95% of the time when you lose restriction it's just from the swelling going down and your stomach becoming leaner. I wouldn't be too worried about it. I had this happen over and over and over again until I finally lost all my weight and got my band very full.

This happens as you lose weight. There is fat around your internal organs as well, so as that goes away you will need to continue receiving fills. As you progress in your journey, fills will be less frequent but until then you just need to stick with the rules given by your surgeon and continue to go in for fill appointments.

Thank you! I feel a lot better! I was assuming the worse, but am feeling much more confident. (:

      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.
