Hi all... Was just banded on Wednesday, and today was the first day I could be on full liquids. This is also the day I am starting my Vitamin regimen (chewable multi-vit, liquid Calcium and B-complex). So I took all those, mixed myself a Protein shake, and found that before I could drink it, I realized I was full, just from the vitamins!

Anyone else have this issue? I'm not totally suprised (or unhappy) because it means the band is working already, but it was a little weird. :)

sometimes, if I feel a little like for a snack. I will take my Vitamins, and I am full.

Saves on a snack, and calories.

Awesome - thanks y'all! I'm enjoying the 7lb weight loss already... I'm excited to keep going with the band and get back into exercising so I can lose the other 93 until my goal! :)

Blech. I hate Vitamins. They make me nauseated. But then I don't feel like eating anything for at least an hour. But then once they make their way through, I am STARVING.

maybe try spacing them out? when I was still in the hospital, i had 8 pills I had to take and it took me 2 hours to get through that. every 15 minutes I had to take a pill...sucked but I got and kept them down!

      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.
