I'm probably the only one

I had my first fill yesterday and I was so nervous that I never even thought to ask how much they put in. :D Everything went really well and I was just so happy and relieved that I was like Thanks! Bye! and then when I look at everybody's signatures on here and see that they know exactly how much they've had with each fill, I feel soooo stupid. :)

I know I'm going to need another fill pretty soon because I'm not feeling any restriction at all. So I guess I'll ask next time I'm in there how much they put in. I feel too embarrassed to call and say hey by the way how much did you put in? hehe

Naaaaahhhhhhh! I'd just give em a call and go, "Ya know, I was so weirded out about my first fill I completely forgot to ask how much you put in!" Believe me...it happens! I have always been VERY careful to find out how much I was getting, and my last fill, the 4th, was a "top off" and I was REALLY interested in how much it was going to take to juset ooch me into perfection...I was so excited about getting that last fill I kept my trap shut and bounced out of the office afterwards without a second thought (i.e., my comment at the bottom..."don't know but not much").:faint:

I didn't ask either. I was so nervous just like you. At my second fill I finally asked. I also didn't even know what kind or what size band I had until my second fill. I just left everything up to him. I guess I figured that it really didn't matter...I had the surgery and now I had to do my part. If you really want to know, just call the office...I'm sure that you won't be the first one to call and ask. Good luck!

Don't worry your fill will kick in soon enough.

I almost forgot to ask as well.

They told me 1.5 which seems low compared to everyone else.

I do have restriction though.

      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.
