I was banded on May 22. I had my first fill about 3 weeks ago. I am scheduled for my second next week. I really didn't notice a big difference with the first fill. I know that is normal, but I have only lost 12 pounds and I just feel like I should have lost more. Most of the weight I lost was during the first week of Clear Liquids. Since then, I have barely been losing a pound a week. I eat like I am supposed to, Protein first, and I don't drink with my meals. I am exercising just about everyday. I am not hungry much at all, and when I do eat, I eat very little. I just don't understand why the weight is so slow to come off. Someone please tell me this gets better after the second fill!

It gets better YES!! Also remember that you are building muscle which weighs more then fat! Can you tell you have weight loss by how your clothes are fitting or what not?

Yes, I can tell my clothes are feeling much looser. I have been taking my measurements. I am going to take them again on Friday and see if there is a big difference. I guess I am just being really impatient. And I guess there is also this little voice inside my head asking "What if this doesn't work?"

Yes, that's a good idea, lol. I did get into a pair of jeans today that I haven't been able to get into in a while, so that makes me feel a little better!

      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?

      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.
