I can relate to what your feeling, on my first fill my Docter put in 2 cc's, I felt nothing and did'nt lose a pound. On my second fill he put in 2 more cc's and I lost 12 lbs in 6 weeks, went back to him for my appointment and he did'nt put anything in. 6 weeks later I went back to him and only lost 1 lb. He put in 2 more cc's, and now I feel the difference!

Be patient, it may take a few fills before you really start losing. The only thing I should have done is gone back earlier when I was'nt losing so give your Docter a call in a couple of weeks and ask him/her for a fill.

Good luck and hang in there, it will happen.

Just hang in there, everyone is different with there fills It may take just one fill or it may take several to get that right tightness, it will come just be very patient. I have had only two fills 1.4 CC total, and I am losing about two LBS. a week that's all they really want you to lose anyway. It will be worth the wait, I feel so much better, I wish you success, and never give up........... It's going to be a life change.

      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.
