If you can't eat solids, then you are too tight. You should be able to eat meat and even veggies. Have your tried to eat meat or are you scared to try? If you have tried and can't then you need to call the doctor and tell him.

I agree, it sounds like you are too tight. I can eat any type of meat, as long as it is nice and moist. Moist chicken or a good filet mignon go down well for me.

My second fill was too much. however, due to time and "not sure what to expect/do/how long will last" i waited. It has been a bit over 2 weeks and I can just now eat some meat. It has NOT been fun. I would recommend getting a little bit out. I have a demanding job and 2 kids as a single mom, and have been running. Each of the girls have been sick and my teen is into finals and got a cut on her cornea. I didn't take the time for ME, but I sort of regret it. Actually, I also thought I would lose more weight, and did, but to ao point. You get sick of the mushies so you wind up having ice cream and milk shakes something i haven't really done since being banded. I also realized that the chips do go down. However they are UN HEALTHY and FATTENING!! So, yes i still lost weight, but probably not as much as i would have had i gotten some taken out. Also, by not having as much "good" food that i used to have, i was very lethargic. So, this also stagnates the wweight loss. I am up to 56 lbs gone, but my quality of life the last 2 weeks has been not nice.

Summary: Go back, have them take a bit out and do the usual that you were doing, you will lose the weight and STILL have good quality of life. After all, this should be fun and it WAS until my second fill.

      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.
