I had my first fill on July 9th last Wednesday. After three days I feel like I am right back to where I was before the fill. I am still getting hungry especially in the evenings. Does this mean that I need to go in for another fill right away or do I have to wait a period of time. I am really confused. :confused2:

I remember when I was getting my first few fills, wondering if they would ever last for more than a few days. Well, I just got my 10th fill and have finally hit the sweet spot. It takes some time to get there, so don't feel discouraged. As long as you are losing 1 - 2 pounds per week you are doing good. My advice is to listen to your doctor and your body and follow the rules. And be patient with the process. :thumbup:

It might depend on your doctor. I get my first fill this Thursday. I was told that for the first year, I need to come in at least once a month to have my restriction checked but if after one week after a fill I feel that I have no restriction or too much I can call and get another adjustment--I don't have to wait until the following month.

I had my first fill and was good for the 1st few days. Now I'm hungry again and can eat whatever I want. My doctor has me go in every 4-6 weeks. Would be nice if I could go in more often though.

      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.
