I was banded on May 13th and am doing great. I almost feel like I didn't have surgery. My only issue is that I am 4 days into my full liquid diet and I am starving. I am having 4 Protein Drinks a day, yogurt, Jello, and cream Soup. I don't know if I can make the full 10 days. Any suggestions?

Hang in there!! I was banded on 4/26/11 and the first week was torture as of about Day 3 when the initial soreness started to subside...I couldn't sip one more spoonful of broth and I would've traded my first born for a freakin' scrambled egg!! LOL!!

Keep drinking Protein shakes and keep your eyes on the prize! Good luck!!

      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.
