  1. How much does a fill hurt, if at all? Haven't had a fill yet, but I heard they don't hurt much at all.
  2. about how much do you lose a month if you follow the meals, etc? You're young, so it should come of a little faster, but we've been told to expect 1-2 pounds per week. It also comes off a little faster at first if you're BMI is higher. Since you didn't divuldge your weight, it's kinda hard to hazard a guess :)
  3. how is the post op diet? Everyone has different reactions to it. I'm doing OK with it so far. I have my moments of feeling deprived, but over all, it's doable.

It will probably be pretty close the same after the band.

Best wishes :P

      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.
