I just got my third fill and my very tight at this time but the other 2 fills I couldn't tell anything for a week. There's a lot of us that can any differnece at first. Just give it a little time, I'm sure you'll be able to tell it especially if you got a decent fill.

I could feel my fill before I could get in my car. But it took me 2 weeks to feel a big difference.

Hi I got my first fill on Sept. 28th. My doc had a hard time filling it. took 6 sticks to get it. I think they said it was 4 somethings in a 10 something band. I can't eat as much, and the port seems to hurt after I eat. so I am really gonna take it easy. Also does anyone have monster burps? Very embarresing! ;)

      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.
