I know this is a few months old, but the exact same thing happened to me! I had about 7cc in a 10cc band and had pretty good restriction. I went to my doctor last week for a teensy bit more, and he added .5cc. I was on fluids the remainder of the day, so I didn't notice a thing. But now I've noticed I'm not as tight? I can eat with more more ease. I don't want ease! I'm angry at myself for getting greedy and asking for me. Anyways, I looked into this, and a few people have told me it happens and it can take a few weeks to settle again and gain the restriction back. I hope they're right! When doing my latest fill, he did remove all Fluid and put it back in, so it could have something to do with it.

Did you get your restriction back?? Or talk to your doc??

No i have never gotten my restrictions back and kick myself for getting another fill also, I am getting back on my excersing and if that doesn't help i am going to call the dr. next wk. But I am going to tell him more then .1cc or it is not worth it I have had 2 fill of that I have no change ,I feel that little amount is a waste of time and my money. Keep it touch

      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.
