I was banded on December 22 and my first fillis not until Febraury 7th. Is this okay? I was supposed to get a fill sooner but my DR. is having kneee surgery.

Second Question: Do you have have do just liquids after you get your first fill?

Every Doctor is different. After fills I am on mushies for 2 days and then back to regular food.< /p>

"Do you have have do just liquids after you get your first fill?"

Like others have said, every doctor is different. My doc says three days of Clear Liquids, one week of full liquids, one week of mushies, then back to regular food. It is overkill, but it does help to curb hunger by the mental game of "well, my doctor said I had to." This band is 80% mental and 20% physical.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

      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.
