I was banded 1/3/08 and have felt like I am getting hungrier and losing more slowly this past month. Have you had a similar experience?

Thanks,

Meri

Yes that is exactly what is happening to me. I have not had a fill yet. I go next Monday and I am thinking I might get a fill this time. I think I have only lost about 5 pounds this time. Looking forward to going to the doc and getting weighed on the 9th. I will let you know.

Good Luck - I look forward to hearing how you are doing.

I go back on the 19th. Last time I went to the doctor I expected to get a fill, but he said weight loss was fine and not to do it. I almost felt like he was blowing me off until after the 6 month post-op time - maybe so they could bill again?

I'm not really feeling hungrier but I went to the doc this last time and have only lost 3lbs since my last 6week visit...he didnt want to do a fill.......I was really pissed actually bc I felt like I needed another fill..........he said if I started to go backwards then call him and he'll do a fill...I only have 5cc ina 14cc band....its kinda discouraging when youre doc isnt really trying to push you along....

Hi, I'm going to be banded on Jan. 21. How's everyone doing with the pre surgery liquid diet? Does anyone else have to do it for two weeks? It's killing me!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
