I'm 6 days post-op today and feeling *nearly* like my old self. Good energy, no pain, etc.

BUT- I'm hungry again for the first time today. And I have another whole week of liquids.

I know I have to do this to help heal my stomach-- but wow- fluids just do not keep me full for more than an hour and a half- maybe 2 if it's a Protein shake?

I hate to do more than 3 Protein shakes a day; what do you guys think? I've added cream Soups, which is helpful. Any other suggestions?

I had the same issue. After the swelling caused by surgery went away, I was starving. My doc only kept me on liquids one week (however, follow your docs orders). There was so much hunger until a few fills I was wishing I had had bypass. Now I love the band! Keep doing what your doing! You will get through what is known as "bandster hell".

Fight it!

Find a way to take your mind off of it. Go for a walk every time the feeling comes or something else.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
