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?

[*slim* 2]

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.

[*slim* 2]

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

[Carrie_C 9]

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.

[*slim* 2]

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.

[Carrie_C 9]

Yes, I know. It sucks being too tight.

Had my fourth fill today. Also, at the support group meeting tonite Brooke announced that she was expecting and is due a couple of days before Thanksgiving.

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?

[*slim* 2]

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.
