So I had my first fill today. I found out there was 2cc in my band already and 2cc were added today. The process was pretty painless, but it did take awhile because my port was deep and low. I have plateaued so i am hoping this will give me a jump start. I'm on liquids for the next 3 days and softs for 2 days after that. I am hungry so I'm hoping these few days so by pretty fast.

Isn't it weird that they don't tell us about Fluid being in the band. I was surprised when I went for my first fill and found out I had 2cc's already. I don't know how aggressive your doc is but mine tells me to come back in a week after a fill if I'm still hungry. The liquid days are the worse after a fill so I feel your pain.

They scheduled my next fill for 8 weeks out, if i am still feeling hungry, i'm gonna try and get an appt. They have such a large practice that the try to schedule people far apart. Today is my last day of liquids and i lost 3lb in one day.

Way to go on the 3 lb weight loss. I say if you're feeling hungry go in for the fill earlier. My doc is pretty easy going and I can call in the day that I want a fill.

      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.
