I have had 3 fills and am currently at 6.5 cc in a 10 cc APS Band. This fill has really eliminated the hunger for me which is pretty neat!

I've had 2 fills for a total of 6 cc in my realize band. I still don't have very much restriction. I'm hoping the next one is the charm.

I've had 2 fills. The second fill was during a port revison. So I am now at 5.68cc's. I feel the restriction. Now I understand what everyone had been talking about.

I've had 4 fills for 7.2cc in my 10cc band. This is the first fill where I really have restriction. I'm still getting used to it right now...

I am not a March Bandster, but close, 2/27/08. I have had one fill. I was talking to my program coordinator the other day because I have no idea what kind of band I have, how much it holds, or how much my fill was. My surgeon apparently does not think this is important information for me. I am not hunger between meals and am satisfied with my portion size.

Maybe dumb question, but I don't really understand "restriction". Maybe I am there, but without a great definition, I don't really know. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

      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.
