I just got banded on 4/5/2011 which is 5 days ago, I am tired of the clear liquids already,..... I keep thinking of all types of foods to eat and I am hungry everyone says they weren't hungry but I am or either its in my mind......... I am tired of just drinking broth, water, shakes, crystal light, sugar free ice pops and sugar free jello........ PLEASE HELP, I WANT MY SURGERY TO BE A SUCCESS........ THANKS

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR BEING SO VERY TRANSPARENT!!! I am five days in and scared as hell because I am hungry tired lonely and angry and I want to eat. You post helped me to put things back into perspective my reason for doing this. I don't like who I see in the mirror because it's really not me...... I miss the old me and I want to be healthy (boarderline diabetic) and I was a smoker I quit 4 weeks before the surgery..... I can do this becuase you did this and are doing this..... Thanks Be Blessed and Continue to Be a Blessing

Wow you lost 106..... Congratulations....... that's my goal..... I just got banded on 4/5/2011 but I am hungry in my mind....... I keep thinking of all these wonderful things I could eat and this liquid diet is killing me.......... I want my surgery to be a success any suggestions?

Hi I just got banded on the 5th, and I've been drinking the protein shakes since the 6th. My doctor put me on a clear lliquid diet for the first week or two hopefully one.... I drink 4oz of protein 3 times a day and water, crystal light, broth, and sugar free ice pops... oh an sugar free jello.......... my doc also said for the gas because of the air that they pump in our stomach to walk because it is not the same gas that would be in the intestines. they told me to stay hydrated I have a plan around the clock from 8am-11pm givin to me by the bariatric team that gives me examples of what to drink... its 4oz every hour for the first week plus the vitamin and calcium.... i am a little weak though cause I've been out and about but I think I should have just gotten more rest, I am also hungry although everyone else tells me they were not :-(
