Wow, Jamie, welcome to the land of the filled!! Now just be careful and don't take that NEXT bite when you think you're feeling a little restriction. Just wait two or three minutes and make sure everything is going down. If it's not, GET UP AND WALK AWAY. :D

For what it's worth, I don't know how much fill I have ever had, either. My doctor's thinking is that the actual amount is irrelevant; all that matters is the amount he's gone up or down from the prior amount. It's all relative.

Thanks for all the good advice. Maybe my dr. didn't tell me how much fill I got cause he thinks the same way as your Dr does. Like I said I could care as long as the weights coming off! Everyones restriction is so different that the fill amount won't be the same for everyone anyway! thanks for the tips I'll chew, chew, chew, and eat slowly!!

Jamie- I have been appealing since April 1st- I guess I was the fool because they said everything had been received & was being reviewed. Than YESTERDAY I was told they finally recieved evrything & it would be another 4-6 wks. Well you know I didn't stand for that & hopefully they said they would tell me SOMETHING this week. But that doesn't mean its an answer;0( It truely hasn't been my insurance thats been the hold up its been my Doctors office - the main girl there Debbie(Vindictive little #@$$#@) Has purposely held up my work for 2 months just because she & I clashed in the beginning & I went over her head. I have actualy caught her in SEVERAL LIES. I told the Doctor about it, but will be placing it in writting this week to make sure he does something about it.

So thats it for now- Thank you for asking I feel like I am the longest lasting LBT member to ever not be banded;0)LOL LOL LOL Glad your doing so well-I am very happy for you!!!

Vinesqueen~ You will get that fill and do great. I've been a little worried about mine. I'm being very careful what I'm eating and chew chew chewing but it still doesn't take much for me to get that stuck feeling... like a few bites and I'm stuck. I'm not able to eat much at all but everything is staying down so I guess I'm okay!!! It looks like your doing good with your weight loss even with out a fill !!! 20 pounds is great!!!

      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.
