Karen, see how you do when you move to solid Protein first. If you are still hungry and you can consum 1 cup of food you need a fill. It all depends too if you are losing on 1 cup. If you are you are lucky. If not, you maybe one of those like myself that needs to consume less thus needing a fill. Hope this helps. Julie

Quite possibly, yes. I have had 5 fills so far and still feel hungry...I'm currently filled to 3.5 cc's in a 4 cc band. I'm really beginning to think the band isn't working for me.

hey my doctor...dr. kurian told me when i was in the recovery room. u should ask ur doctor how much cc does ur band hold. i am still feeling hungry after eating solid food. i feel like this lap band is never going to work for me...maybe i just need to keep getting fills to see which cc suits me right. i hope u helped out out.

      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.
