Hi I am not sure when you were banded. I have had 4 fills so far, not sure how much is in their. My Dr does not like you to eat much the day of the fill, just liquids if possible. I have noticed that sometimes I feel more restriction a day or so later. With my first few fill after a few days things went down easer. At this point I may be just about at the right spot. I was banded in May, my last fill was in Sept. when ever I think about getting another fill, I eat someting too fast and it just does not go down. I end up with it comming back up. A few weeks ago it was almost once a day. but today was the first time in a week or so. I must eat really slowly. I eat alot of tosted sandwiches as I can take smaller bites.

Just take it slow and see what happens

First, please do not type in all caps, it makes it really hard to read.

Second, you received a fill today, you should not be eating food of any sort, liquids are the mode for the day of fills, gives your system a chance to settle down.

bread, cake, chips, all items that should be the furthest from your eating plan.

Give your system a chance to settle down and get used to the fill. Start liquids, then mushy, then slowly transition back to solids.

Surgery 6/9/09--- as of 12/9/09 down 55 lbs

Actually, what you eat the first 24 hours after a fill varies according to doctors. Mine has no restrictions but common sense...good choices, chew thoroughly, take small bites, stop eating that food if you're having difficulty and eat something softer.

Another person on this forum said she's on liquids for 2-3 days, then mushies for 3 days.

      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.
