That is frustrating, hopefully it will all work out for you soon. I was kinda suprised that they only put in 1cc, but now I am glad that they did not go for more.

Are you feeling any improvement over before you were filled?

I thought that I would feel some restriction after the first, and I did for about a min. Now nothing ! I have 4cc in now, how much will they put in on Friday ? '

Yasmina: I had 5 cc at the first fill and 1.5 cc at the second. I go for my third on Wednesday, Apr 18th, and a friend said I'd get 1 or 1.5 this time.

My experience is that I'm not that restricted IMMEDIATELY after the fill, but a few days later it seems to kick in. Then, after about 10 days I start feeling hungrier and have less restriction. Also, I'm a night-time snacker and I've noticed that I have less restriction at night than I do in the morning. In other words, I have some habits to change.

Tres Chic i am very tight when i wake up too. I am a shift worker and it takes a few hours for me to eat anything. I only have 3.5 cc in after having 2 defills.

Gaffer to answer the question, no I wish I felt something, any indication the band was acturally in there would be nice (I have the scars to prove something happened). I now have 5cc in the 10 cc band and the person who does my fills said often people don't feel much until 7 or 8 cc's,so I'm trying to be patient and remember the post Yoda had in a few days ago about not rushing things, the trouble is I was so "up" for the first while after surgery and now unfortunitly I'm falling back into some of my bad habits from before....I need to get some of my earlier excitment back and to get disiplined again.

It is hard to keep that momentum going, I know what you mean. That has been the undoing of all my previous attempts.

Hang in there. Your time will come and you will be off to the races.

Sounds like us February Bandsters are having a bit of a struggle right now. Let's keep our eyes on the prize and hope for that 'sweet spot'.

Just came from having my 3rd fill so I'm on fluids today. I didn't lose any weight in the last two weeks (since my 2nd fill), which was a little disappointing. Nevertheless, I'm feeling positive. I'll let you know how this fill goes once I start eating again.

Lori and Argon... you have both lost enough to be at a plateau for 2 weeks! I'm guessing "fluids" after my fill didn't mean a DQ Blizzard...

:embarassed:

Doddie: You and I had surgery the same day at TLBC. Have you had 3 fills now?

      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.
