Hi All...just a quick question...

I had my second fill last week (first fill was 2 ccs, this second one was 1 cc...) and am at a total of 3 cc's in a 10 cc band.

After my first fill- I felt a little restriction, but could definitely use more. After my second fill...I am totally tight....but at only 3 cc's??

While we were doing my fill, my dr mentioned that everyone is different, but he doesnt think I am even close to where I have an optimum amount of restriction...then whoa! 48 hrs later...major restriction!

I know that everyone is completely different, but when did you start to feel you were at you "sweet spot"?

Thanks!!

When was your fill? If it was within the last day or two odds are you're swollen. Otherwise, ???

Then either you are not chewing things well...(It's a learning curve), or you're still swollen, or your doc is wrong. Mine usually nails it because he can tell by the resistance he feels when he instills the saline. I say just enjoy it while it lasts! :crying:

      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.
