I think we are all a little different in this regard and to make it more complicated post-fill protocols vary as well. My surgeon has no restrictions post-fill whereas some people are on all liquids for up to a few days. I notice that my fills take some time to "settle in," that I don't feel it right away. "It" being the dimmed appetite. But I just had a fill last Friday and am noticing how I can't chug liquids now and I also can't drink while I'm eating -- I have to wait now and that's new for me. I take it as a good sign, that there's some there there, that the dimming is happening me my body is responding. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

I like it how one lady state it, right now we are dieting until we reach the green zone. Don't stress about it, yes we paid huge $ for this and we want a fast results but take it as this is a life time journey not a few months thing. I haven't lost a single pound in 6 months but I also haven't gain any being its summer and I do like my cocktails so I'm on a plus side already drinking all summer and not worried about getting a plan in the fall to lose what I gained over the summer. I'm two steps ahead already. Green zone will come one day I do believe in that ????

      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.
