Has anyone else gotten a second fill? I got mine on Monday the 8th. Lot easier knowing what to expect. I had it filled a little bit tighter, cause I was eating myself out of house and home. Well it is tight. Water and liquids go down as long as I sip. Other foods in miniscule bites and ~100 chews. Now I know I will start losing weight again. I might be a little uncomfortable for a week or so til I loose weight and it loosens up. Or at least that is my plan. Hope it works

I am having my first fill on Monday. I feel you on eating myself out of house and home. :hungry: I can't wait. So, is that how the fills work. It is only tight until you lose weight and then you have to get another fill? And if that is the case, why would you need to have fill removed? I am a little confused about this process. Any information you can share would be appreciated. Also, will I be able to drive myself home after the fill?

After I had my first fill, I didn't feel any restriction, but my surgeon must have worked miracles when he put the thing on, cause I rarely get hungry. I have only had one fill, but I was certainly able to drive myself home (all 6 hours worth of the drive). For me it didn't hurt just a little wierd when you feel like you have barium hovering in your throat while the band was overfilled. She then pulled someout obviously, but after that brief experience I knew I didn't want to overeat. Nothing like the wonderful taste of barium and starting to slime all at the same time. :speechles MMM good. Hope this answered one of your questions.

      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.
