Mimi - same here - they took .3 out of the 5.9 and now I can't stop eating! But yea better than barfing or choking on my own saliva at night - jeez that was messed up!

Seems that way! I go back on Jan 5 so just after the holidays my goal is to not gain back more than 2 lbs of the 10 I lost in the two weeks of the overfill. To be honest I would do it again if I had to get a boost on the weight loss. I dont' care if I am on liquids for a bit (problem is you lose muscle too). Also long as I'm not waiting up choking but that seemed better congtrolled by not eating or drinking anything 2-3 hours before bed (which i find hard to do).

When do you go back?

I had my first fill on 12/8-- since then anything I eat , comes right back up.. I just tried to eat ONE steamed sea scallop and am in pain (AGAIN).. Is this normal for almost 2 weeks post fill??? My doctor is in Texas ( 7 hours from here)

cruzlady - what was happening to me in the beginning was this was occurring from eating too fast. When you are eating take 30 seconds to chew and then when you swallow wait another 30 seconds before taking the next bite. Try that. I use either the stop watch on my iphone or one online (it keeps me honest) and today when i didn't already things were coming up).

      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.
