When did you get your fill???

Sorry, I missed your post on Friday ;)

I know that fills can sometimes take a week or 2 to kick in.... if its only been a few days - you might need to give it time?

When I feel like this on my "slacker" days... I NEED to up my Fluid intake... it really helps... make sure you are drinking enough.

The last fill I had took about 2 weeks before it got to this restriction - it's been like this for about 2 months now. It sort of creeped up on me lol !

If it were me, i'd wait a while, give it time to work.

Hope this helps a wee bit

I was filled on 4/7/04 at first i had really good restriction. I go back to the doc on 4/20/04 for a check up and a fill that is almost two weeks do you think that is long enough?

2 weeks should probably be enough time as your fill was relatively small.

I have 3.75 ml in my band & it's a perfect restriction for me. I know that everyone is different - but it might give you a rough guide as to much much you might need?

Have you only got 1cc in your band in total?

I know that the more Fluid you have in your band - then even the tinyest amount can make a world of difference.

im from the UK, but I "think" the ready meal sizes are the same???

In the morning I have 1 weetabix or 1 handfull of Cereal with semi skimmed milk

lunch I have 2 brown bread with cold meat

dinner I have either a "ready meal for one" (mostly manage all of it - but sometimes only 3/4) or 1/2 chicken breast with 2 baby potatoes & a little veg.

If I get hungry at night, I have a yoghurt or a tin of Soup.

I try to drink as much fluids as possible... that certainly keeps the hunger at bay.

Is there a difference between cc & ml ??

      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.
