Recommended Posts

Hi all, I just had my first fill and still feeling pretty hungry. is this normal or should I be going to get tightened sooner rather than later?

I gained weight between my first and 2nd fills, and my first fill was 4cc's......It can take some tweaking until you find that "sweet Spot"

Everyone is different, some here have never had a fil and are 100% successful...and then others, ....

I didn't feel any restriction/satiety till my 3rd fill. It's usually rare that someone finds satiety with just one fill. Sometimes it takes a few days or even 2 weeks before the feeling sets in?

I called my doc and got back in within 30 days for fill #2 and another 45 days for fill #3. No harm in asking for more fills.

Hi Dan, I am one whose fills have to settle in -- I usually feel it on day four or so....and I needed regular fills before reaching my Green Zone at the sixth one. I was still losing weight and felt the dimmed appetite even before the Green Zone. Once there, obviously it's much easier. I've had to go back for tweaks twice since, maybe because the weight loss changes the band? I don't know. But it's a great lifestyle for me -- so happy to have that appetite monster off of my back!

I agree with all of the above. My last fill didn't affect me til day 6. Plus it is just your first. Odds are pretty good you'll need more. I've had 4 or 5. Not sure how much and it really doesn't matter. Just keep working in your eating habits in the meantime

Yea, I can feel my appetite dimming as time goes on. I am on a purée diet for the next couple of days and I think I will feel real results when I start eating regularly.

      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?

      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.
