I got my first fill 1 week ago (3cc in a 10 cc band) and I have restriction, Big time! I mean not too much cause I can get things down and Ya I have to eat SMALL bites I chewed WELL or it gets stuck and it hurts so much more when it gets stuck after a fill then before I got one. Im a cash patient and only get 3 free fills before I have to pay 300$ each so I told my surgeon to not be conservative with my first fill. Im very happy with the restriction. I have already lost 5 lbs since I got it!

I had my first fill a few weeks ago (5cc in a Realize Band) and I only have minimal restriction. Going back on Aug 25th for my second fill and hoping that will do the trick.

      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.
