I would give it a week and if it is still the same, schedule another appointment. They should be able to check your fill level at that time.

It doesn't sound like a slip at all.

It doesn't sound like a slip and I doubt a leak since you just had it done. Didn't mention if you had a fluoro or not but that would have told you at the time of the fill. You have been banded a year now so you should have learned good eating habits so try to use them while the band isn't working for you. I know with my fills it can take up to a month before I feel the fill which is disappointing. But I don't wait for the fill to kick in before I eat right cause I don't want to gain. It is hard but you can do it. You have lost 50 lbs - great job. Use what you know to achieve what you can until the band helps you out. Good luck

      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.
