SOOO Hungry!!

[dhigg68 2]

I was banded on 7/6 and just started pureed diet. I started a couple of days early because I was just so so hungry. Well I'm still super hungry and I have lost 15 lbs, but have been stuck at 15lbs for a few days.

I need some ideas to help curb the hunger pains so I don't cheat! It's not emotional eating or boredom- I'm physically so hungry that I can hardly stand it. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm getting a fill on 8/19.

Thank you!!!

I'm only 2 days post-op, so I'm not hungry (yet), but I did just make some pureed lasagna for dinner and it was very yummy! I just cut a very small piece of lasagna and used Tomato Soup to thin it in the blender. It was like lasagna soup! I also puree strawberrys with skim milk and splenda and top with a little sugar free cool whip. Also very yummy. I'll let you know if I come up with any other good ones. I also pureed some tuna with lt. mayo and Pickle Juice today. That wasn't bad either (good Protein, too!) Good luck!

Maybe you're ready for some solid foods. I was only on liquids for a week , then moved to solids. I had good restriction after meals and stayed full for hours. Just be sure to chew well and take small bites.

Good luck.

Shave the outer layer off dill pickles and have at it. Very filling!

My doc has patients on Clear Liquids for 24 hours, then pureed foods for 2 weeks, then mushies for 2 weeks. I was having a little fun experimenting with what could be pureed. Everything I made was the consistency of a cream Soup and I only had a very little bit of it due to my lack of hunger. I am using low carb slim fast to get most of my Protein in. I think I'm doing fine! Everyone's doctors have different instructions after surgery...it's important to stick to what YOUR doctor tells you - a common theme here on LBT!

I did one week of liquids and then straight to solids and also have great restriction. I felt like I was cheating already felt very guilty. My weight loss is not the greatest Im losing about 2 pounds a week..It's nice to know Im not alone
