I got my second fill last monday, everything was great; 3days later I started to feel tight! In the morning, I knew would be a little challenge ; during the day is also hard, very hard to drink took 4 hours to drink a Protein Shake, and I not able to eat

Anyone know if this is the new normal?

Had that happen to me in April, did a really big fill,1.6 cc, didn't feel any Water restriction while doing the fill. The next day I couldn't eat anything without throwing it back up. Had .8 taken back out and did fine till about 2 weeks ago. Just had .6 put back in today and I finally feel full again.

Had my first fill today. Had 5cc from surgery date June 21st and saw Dr this morning. They added 2cc today. Have lost 17lbs including the 2 week preop diet so I feel positive about that. Am hoping this extra 2cc will slow down my hunger. Since my surgery I have been on this site and honestly it's helped so much to know I'm not alone. Lots of great information. The main point I do understand and received from here is that it's up to me to work the band. I gotta do the work and make the good decisions everyday. The band won't do that for me. There is no easy street. ???Š One day at a time.

      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.
