I was told at my pre-op last week that my first fill would be 6 wks post op. Hope this helps. Keep us posted on your progress

6-8 weeks after surgery sounds right. At 3-4 weeks out you are just barely on solid foods depending on your diet.

I was banded on June 9 and my first followup was supposed to be on July 11th. I was on the liquid diet and feeling quite hungry by about day 10 so I called the Dr's office and they allowed me to get my first fill at 2 weeks post-op. I feel much better now and can tell a difference. I was afraid I would not be able to stick to the diet if I didn't get that first fill. I will still see my doctor on July 11th and they may have to adjust a little more. I have lost 22 lbs :thumbup:

My doctor is also part of the 6-8 weeks group. If you were able to get one sooner, you are very lucky. I am also feeling hunger pains, but fighting them as best I can. Protein Shakes help as does Water. Hoping that continues until I can finally be filled 8/5!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
