Hi! I am 2 plus weeks post op with the realize band. I'm on soft foods now (much easier than liquids!) but I'm finding that I'm hungry between meals. The weight loss this week is slower than the first week (actually it has stopped!) I can't wait for the first fill! I had mine done in Buffalo, NY....how about you?

I have Realize Band! So far so good (was banded in June). And I like the low profile port. When I get all my excess weight off, I think it will be pretty hard to see (right now I can't even feel it on my own. All my fills so far have been under fluoro). Love my band! Good luck!

I was banded with the Realize Band Aug 26. I get my first fill on the 23. My doctor was on vacation so I had to wait longer for the first fill. But that's ok.

I too have a bit of hunger and my weight loss came to a stop but as long as I didn't gain I was happy. Was surprised this week when I stepped on the scale and noticed a 2 1/2 lb loss.

Good luck all :thumbup:

      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.
