I'm thinking that all my swelling is gone as I'm not getting full anymore and I'm hungry again after 2-3 hours. Tuesday I will be 5 weeks post op. First fill is tomorrow and I think I need it!

That's pretty good actually..to go 5 weeks post op before your hunger came back. Good luck with the fill.

Hi Mel, I am right there with you. My appointment is Wednesday and I will be just over four weeks from surgery. Have not felt a return of hunger until very recently -- have noticed in last week to ten days that I am hungry again sooner, although I'm still satisfied on a small portion. My weight loss has stalled. Could be a small plateau or I am taking in too many calories. I look forward to discussing all this with the doctor. A bit nervous about a fill as I've been doing so well and don't want to rock the boat. Good luck to you Tuesday -- let's compare notes!

I'm also stalled. 6 weeks post op and starving! My first fill is next week. Can't wait to hear how it's all going for you guys. Good thoughts to you both!

I also went 5-6 weeks for my first fill and I actually kept drinking my shakes and introduce stage 1 foods as well. I used the Protein shake at Breakfast, around 10am lowfat greek yogurt, around 12noon some chicken Soup stock, 2pm some sugar free Jello. I was actually quite full. Foir me its something in the pouch every 2 -3 hours was a good thing. Plus drink your 64 oz of Water as well.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
