I had my fill last Tuesday and I feel like I was doing good until yesterday. I have been getting hungry within 2 hours of eating for the last two days. Will they let you come back in and get more fill? Do I have to wait for a month?

They make you wait a month between your first 3 fills. After that you can go whenever you feel you need it.

Well I am scheduled to have one Wednesday, but now I'm not so sure I need it. I have had really good restriction lately and my weight loss has picked back up, so I don't know what to do.

Cancel it for now. You can always schedule it again later. There is no point messing with what is working for you.

Yea, I have to go for a follow up at the same time so I am going to talk to them about it and see what they think.

That is the best thing to do. I just keep thinking since you have restriction now, you might come out too tight again. I would hate for you to go through that. Keep us posted on what they say.

Hi, everyone!

I've been reading your posts for a few weeks now and have found them very helpful on my journey this far. I live west of Chattanooga and just got my surgery date today....June 4th.

Dr Ponce at Memorial. I go tomorrow for my surgery class and start my diet on Thursday. I am a nurse, formerly a surgery nurse so I know more than a little about the surgery and now I am a precert nurse so I was able to get my surgery approved in 24 hrs, I guess because I knew exactly what they were looking for. Anyway, I find myself more nervous than ever now, probably more worried about the liver diet than anything. Any tips?

Just take the liver diet one day at a time. The first few days are brutal, but after say day 3, I wasn't hungry anymore. Just remember to stick with the plan. Good luck to you!

i agree. it wasnt near as bad as i thought it would be. after the first couple of days it wasnt that hard for me anyway. i got really into food while i was on it though. i would watch food network constantly. i was able to stick to it for 3 weeks.

      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.
