No problems yet. I've only had a couple fills and not getting the restriction I'm looking for but, I'm told that's normal. I started with a low BMI of 33. I've lost a total of 19 pounds including the 3 day pre op. So far I'm happy I made this choice. Do you know when your. Surgery might be?

Hopefully next month or Jan. My Ins requires a 12 week weight loss program & I'm almost finished; ) They also require a certain % of weight loss. As of today I have 5lbs to go. Hopefully I will have it off by next week. Its nice to hear the band is working for you. Are you experiencing any hunger? Was your 1st fill painful?

The fills are not painful at all. I'm still hungry, no real restriction yet. Everybody has told me it takes at least 3 to feel it. My next one is 12/11.

Hopefully you will start feeling restriction soon. That's another thing I'm kind of worried about. I just bought a four way band from everlast. Hopefully those 5lbs will come off quickly. Keep me posted on your fill.

      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.
