Hi Debz,

It may be worth your calling your surgeon. I'm a bit hazy on the rules of first fill. It's been just over a year since mine. It also depends if the surgeon gave you a small fill during the operation. I know some do and some don't.

You have to give your body a chance to adjust to the new member of your working body. But, there is no harm in finding out what you need to do.

Sorry I can't be much help for you but I do hope that it all works out for you.

Kind regards

Suzy

hi, I had my fill in October with WGA and then had my first fill three weeks later. I'm glad mine was earlier than later as it would of been so easy for me to slip back to old habits. Good luck

My band was fitted in September and I should have had my 1st fill last Monday the 17th but unfortunately the port has flipped and will have to wait until I have a Xray in the New Year and after that get a fill. I have no restriction and feel the op has been a waste of time. The Consultant says I should look at as a 2 year plan but I just feel I have already lost 4 months.

Please don't get down hearted I know you build yourself up to be banded and then feel like nothing had happened. Even though I've had my first fill the restriction now is not enough and I seem stuck at the same weight. And I know people mean well but the constant asking "how much have you lost this week" and the trying to explain you have no restriction can get you down. But you've got to remember this is going to change your whole life so hey four months isn't alot. We'll all still be here when you have your next stage of problems. So chill have a great Christmas xx

      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.
