I did take the poll. I said my head hunger came back at 1 week because I was sooooo bored of broth. I was soooo happy to move to puree Soups.< /p>

The head hunger was what i had to work on before the surgery. So after the surgery i was content with what i had at whatever stage. i am not going to say i was not anxious about advancing to each phase but i can say that i was satisified with the amount i ate. my Protein supplement really helped during this time. i added the powder to everything. Soup, broth, milk, etc.

I have a friend thinking about the lapband and i told him the head hunger is the hardest part to work through and conquer. I got really hungry one day not long ago. I could not get enough to eat. but i kept my composure and drank me a Protein milk and the craving passed.

Great questions to ask. Some times we just wish we had a book and everyone had the same situation. But all is different. Good luck on your search!:D

      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.
