Hey Bob! Congrats on the Birthday! You and I share our Band date as I was banded Tuesday as well! I too thought Thanksgiving was going to be tough with Family over, but I was suprised how filling chicken broth was! Ha Ha! My dr says I can start on really thin Mushies today(Thin oatmeal, Grits, Creamy Soups etc), but I'm going to wait till tonight, to see if i have any hunger.

Keep in touch! I'm excited to see how this works out for the both of us!

Good Luck, and stay focused!

I was banded on the 23rd also and am struggling with eating enough on the liquids. My Dr. has me on liquids only for 3 weeks and I am just not hungry and have trouble wanting to eat anything. I am makingmyself drink the Protein Shakes and drinking lots of Protein Water to keep up with that but I feel bad that the only "food/meals" I am eating is like a can of Soup a day. I am down 9 lbs since Tuesday..

      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.
