when i had my surgery on 7/22/09.my band was filled at that time with 3 cc's.i ended up at the dr's office that same night to get Fluid removed from my band because i was in so much pain and getting so sick to the point of dry heaving.ever since then i still have trouble with food.such as eating when i am suppose to and some things getting stuck and i am nauseous a lot.so when i went for my appt on 9/4/09 he filled my band with 2 cc's.now in the mornings i am having trouble eating anything.i just don't have an appetite.as the day goes on it gets a little better,but he wants me to eat every 3 hrs and i just can't do it.i also still can't tolerate the Protein shakes.any suggestions????:thumbup:

What is the problem with the Protein Shakes? Can't keep them down? Have you thinned them with Water. Mix1 is higher in sugar, but it's a thinner brand. Pure Protein is also a bit thinner. If it's been 3 days since your most recent fill and you still can't even take a thin liquid, i would talk to your doctor. Sounds like he/she is being more aggressive than most doctors. In my opinion too aggressive about fills but I'm not a doctor of course. Good luck!

      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.
