I have not ask him. I was there with a group of people. And one of them had been bandit for about 6 weeks and he told her she did not need one. But she also was alot bigger then (I hate to say that):) . He did tell us if we fill hungry 2 hours after we eat then we need a fill.

thanks

The decision to get a fill should be made between you and your doctor after you have a talk about how things are going. There are several factors to be considered, how much you are able to eat in one sitting, how soon afterwards before you begin to feel hungry again, what your average weight loss is, and if you are able to get food down without any problems to name a few. I would ask for another appointment to meet with him without a group of people present so you can specifically discuss your case privately.

I would say time for a fill! I got my first fill the first day of my 6th week out from surgery,,,before that, I could eat anything, just in smaller amounts as my swelling went 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.
