:) TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY. I GET MY FIRST FILL AND IM HAPPY ABOUT IT , ITS WELL OVERDUE. MY SURGERY WAS JULY 13 AND SO FAR THEY KEEP CANCELING MY APPOINTMENTS. IM PRAYING ON MY STARS THAT THEY DONT CANCEL ME TOMORROW TOO. LOTS OF THINGS RUNNING THREW MY MIND THOUGHT, I HOPE IM NOT IN PAIN AFTERWARDS AND I HOPE THAT I HAVE ENOUGH RESTRICTION TO SEE SOME PROGRESS AND NOT BE HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. :smile::sneaky::w00t::sneaky::unsure:

Wow, you have had to wait along time for your first fill. I know some people feel great restriction just from the band itself, but that wasn't me after the first few weeks. I was really happy to get my fill at six weeks. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that they don't cancel your appointment again. Man, I'd be furious at this point. Don't worry, you shouldn't have any pain after your fill.

That stinks that you had to wait so long. I got my band on 7/21 and have had two fills already. It is kind of bitter sweet though. Going from being able to eat food one minute, then having to go to liquids/protein the next.

Good luck with your fill.

Good luck with your first fill. I was banded Dec 31, 2008 and I just had my fourth fill 2 weeks ago. I wish you much success!

      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.
