Hi: Sorry, its been a good while since your reply...they put my lapband forum talk in the junkmail part of my email folder, and I rarely look in it. Now, I will check it regularly. I do need a fill, but my doc says that I don't and to wait. I'm getting discouraged also, but will ask for a fill next month again. Yes, there are several foods that "go through fast", and I stay hungry also. I have to do better. Good luck, jlg1019

I explained to another nice person that my forum responses were put in my junkmail folder, and I didn't know about them. Sorry, I will check it regularly. Good to here from a fellow PCH employee. I do trust my Doctor...he's the best. I just get discouraged with the slow weight loss, but he gives me pep talks every month. Thanks for responding. jlg1019

I had my first fill 2 days ago. Just hurt for the initial needle stick. He injected 2cc then had me drink a cup of Water. Everything went fine. I don't really feel any restriction when eating but do seem to feel less hungry. He gave me a prescription for Vit B12 injections. I only got that because I asked for it. He said I didn't really need it but I just wanted to see if there would be a change in my energy.

I;m confused, why won't he give you a fill? there are fill centers everywhere if he won't oblige. What is the reason he won't?

He just tells me that its not time since I lost as least six last month. Maybe this month since I have done awful. I feel that I have wasted a month of "maybe" losing!jlg1019

For those of you feelong depressed because you are waiting for a fill...I KNOW....I need one too....I have been fighting hunger all week and I even gained some weight back this week...I did better before the surgery!

I must admit, I was sorta told to stay in bed a get over my psoriasis outbreak this week...so, I definitely didn't move as much and thought about food/tv commercials way toooooo much!

      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.
