Lawbebe~ It depends. I was soooo tight over Thanksgiving and Christmas. I literally PB'd through Christmas infront of my MIL. I went to the doctor and had .4 cc's out. For me, that worked. I will need a slight fill in a few weeks, but this has been good restriction. There is no "magic formula"...just what is right for individuals. Enjoy the unfill. I know Terridoodle had 1cc taken out and was soooo happy with that.

Thank you..I am very excited about getting unfilled!! I thought I could wait, but we are going to Disneyland next week and there is no way I want to have issues down there!!! The Dr put in 1cc 2weeks ago..and before that I was able to eat, just a little more than I wanted to..so maybe 1/2cc will work..thank you again!

if you have been tight for two weeks we usually take all the band Fluid out and let you rest for a week to make sure you have not developed any pressure ulcers and or esophagitis, give you oral antacid pills then under fluro re fill to comfort.

      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.
