Im envious of all those who have had 2 fills already. I just got my first fill today (3cc) and Im hoping to see some weight loss. I haven't lost nearly a pound for weeks now. I was totally able to eat whatever I wanted and in any amount I wanted. I hope the fill will change all of that. My dr put me on 2 weeks of Fluid only again. So I'm sure this will have an impact on my weight loss.

goodluck everyone

Wow, two weeks of fluids only? That's harsh! It will definitely have an impact on your weight loss, though! Good luck and keep your chin up! :) All doctors are different.

It's been two months since surgery, just wanted to know how everyone is doing. I know most of us are in bandster hell right now, so when are y'all getting your second fill ?

I have been doing my best for two weeks now and it really did pay off. I have lost 40 lbs in two months. I lost 13 lbs in the last two weeks , but I worked my butt off for it. I have a wedding on the 9th of August and I will be seeing most of my classmates that I haven't seen since May. I want to turn heads you know...lol. I have goals of another 10 lbs by then. I am not relying on the band right now, I am relying on myself.

Wow you're doing great. I have not had a fill yet. My doctor doesn't want to give me one because my weight is steady dropping. I went in yesterday and had lost 3lbs in 2 weeks. Before that I lot 4 lbs in a month. He said I just need to keep going what I'm doing. But I'm scared to death that I'm gonna gain a pound.

I just had my first fill on Thurs. I didn't get one on my visit at 6 wks. post op either because I was losing about 2 lbs a week. But for the last couple of weeks I have found myself hungry and have grazed a couple of times--unplanned Snacks which is dangerous for me as the floodgates can easily open. I made an appointment with my doctor for a fill and he agreed that it was time. It has helped tremendously--Hunger gone. I need all the help I can get. This is a long 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.
