Today was my first fill at first the nurse could not find my port but she said it was because I still have lots of swelling she finally found it and gave me one cc since I already had 4 cc from surgery, my visit went really well the only thing that I'm upset about it, is because at work when I weigh myself and I work in a doctors office I started at 228 and when I got on the scale yesterday I was down to 211 today when I went to get my fill at their office she said I started at 227 with my weight and then I was down to 214 what the heck is that about ? so there is a 3 pound difference also I thought that after you get your first fill you are not hungry but for some reason I am starving.. just soo confused and was really hoping I had lost more weight than that.

Hi there! I'm sure that is very frustrating. Just wanted to let you know that you are posting in the Gastric Bypass forum, so not many people here would have advice for what you are going through. I know there is a separate page for all things Band. I hope you find the answers you are looking for there.

Blessings on your road to a healthier new you!

      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.
