Yea, you don't normally hit the "sweet spot" with the first fill. For me in my 4cc band, it took several fills. From what I've heard of the VG bands, they take even longer.

Whoever said patience is a virtue, must have had the band in mind lol. Don't worry, you'll get there.

Oh .. and meant to add, sometimes you'll feel more restriction later, like even a week or two after a fill for some reason.

Gail, I noticed that you were banded in March 06. You have lost weight very fast. What Or how have you been eating. I know that sounds funny, but I am waiting on the approval from my insurance to be banded. So when I get it I want it to work to my advanatage and lose fast like you. Thanks for the info.

      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.
