I was banded on the 8th and will get my first fill also on the 27th and I think I could have used it at least a week ago. Probably not medically wise a week ago?

Right now it feels just like any other diet. My history with diets ain't to good!!!!!

Sorry to disappoint all of you, but you probably won't feel any different after your first fill, or your second or even your third fill. (Of course, it depends on how aggressive your doctor is with fill amounts.) You are entering into what is commonly known as bandster hell. Hang in there though. Just stick with your plan, eat your Protein and drink your Water and it will work out.

I was banded on 6/20 and have since lost 19 pounds and a total of 39 since May 1st. I went to see my Dr to have my first fill. After filling out the questionnaire he told me I don't need a fill yet... He said as long as I'm losing a 1 to 1.5 pounds per week I don't need a fill and according to the questionnaire i'm in the green zone. So for who are not getting your fills are you not considered in the green zone? Are you feeling hungry? My Dr placed the largest band and I thought for sure I would need a fill!

Just a reminder-every doctor has his own protocol. Most won't do your first fill until at least 6 weeks post op to give your body time to heal and surgical swelling to go down.

      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.
