Hey everyone!

I just got my first fill of 4 cc's in my 14 cc band on Tuesday. I don't feel any different than before! I get full a LITTLE sooner than I did before, but I thought that I would feel drastic restriction differences! Is this normal? I'm wondering if there's a leak in my tubing or somthing!

I felt almost nothing on my first fill, I felt a little more on my second fill and much more on my third (just yesterday).

Hi AppleBottom,

Yes this is normal.

I had very little restriction with my first fill which was also 4cc's but I have a 10cc band. Second fill was better had more restriction. then got the 3rd fill and was way to restricted I could not even get down hot coffee so had to get half of it out. Much better now I am at 6cc ina 10cc band.

Just remember everyone is different.

Some people get restriction with the first fill some not until the 2nd,3rd or 4th. But if you are getting fuller faster you are on your way.

Next fill you should feel more restriction.

Hi,

Feeling very little restriction is normal. You won't really feel any restriction until the 3rd, 4th or 5th fill. I depends on how much you doctor saline he puts in. So basically you are still on your own for weight loss. I just had my 3rd fill and I do have restriction now. Good luck on you journey.

      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.
