Hello everyone, I had a fill 3 weeks ago. I have lost 2 lbs. I have been walking and eating less; However, I NEVER feel full. I stop eating but could eat again in less than 2 hours...hungry not emotion eating ...I am wondering if I should go back and get adjusted? Any suggestions? Eliza

Hey Eliza!!!!

Sounds like it's a yes, get another fill. I'm anxious for other answers, but just a little bit extra could make a huge difference.

Since you're 3 weeks out from your fill, I think it's safe to schedule another one. Alot of people say that their fills don't kick in for 1-2 weeks after their fill. Since you're past that, there's no chance this fill will kick in.

This fill was just not enough. First fills usually are.

Here is a great site to help you with deciding to get another fill or not, when I felt that I needed a fill I went to this page and read it over and over again to make sure I really needed an adjustment in my fill or an adjustment in my attitude,

hope this is helpful :)

Sometimes it was just an attitude adjustment

Thank you. You are right that website is a great resoure. I called my Dr. and they said that I did need to come in and have my fill adjusted. Apparently, the first fill is to "test " my eating habits and to make sure everything is working properly befor they give me a tighter fill. So three weeks later I am off to TN a 6 hour drive...for a 30 minute apt.! Ughhhh! :) Eliza

      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.
