Yes. You can basically have anything that is the same consistency as water. Have all the broth you want lol.

Ok thanks lol Because I've been on the same bottle of water Since 11 o'clock today

Did your fill help because I'm hungry more now than I was before with out the fill

I don't really know yet. I was filled yesterday afternoon and didn't have much of an appetite the rest of the day but that could have been from some swelling. Today we're heading out of town on vacation so I hope its not going to be too hard to curb my usual pre-band road trip snacking.

Deeberry I experience the same thing for about a week after each fill. Its because I don't feel my fills for about a week. Its also because you "can't" have foods. When we can't have something we want it more. I just had my 6th fill. Today I still feel the same but in about 5 more days my hunger will subside even more and ill feel the fill.

How long before you all had your first fill? I'm scheduled for 8/6 which will be 3 weeks and 6 days out from my surgery... I'm on mushies and doing fine, def feeling some restriction after less that about 1 cup of food. My dr's office scheduled the first fill for 4 weeks out, but I've read some stuff that recommends waiting 6 weeks......

I got my first fill 4 weeks after surgery and every thirty days after that. That's the normal.

I work at a lap band doctors office and normally if you are still hungry after you fill you need to get it tightened again to help you stay more full and full longer.

You normally wait four weeks after surgery to have a fill then every month after that when you have reached a full year of fills you normally don't have to come but every three to six months unless your having problems.

Hope this information helps

I just had my 6th fill and I think it'll be my last. I've noticed with every fill I'm unusually hungry for about the first week and I don't feel the restriction for the first week. Do you know why that is? I tend to over eat after a fill. I hate it.

It sounds like there is not enough Fluid in your band cause your suppose to feel the restriction after your fill. At the doctors office I work at the doctor gives you some Water to make sure it goes through your band good enough and you don't throw it up. But to me it sounds like you don't have enough and it makes you over eat. But I can always find out when I get back to work I'm out of the office this week and I can fill you in on some more about it
