Hello everyone,

Brief background: Banded 4/16/2009, 8/1/09 found out we were EXPECTING! (She was a surprise, not planned so close after surgery). 4/24/2010 baby is born. 6/10/2011 first fill after baby. Now, I am trying to get back into the swing of things. Due to the situation I only had 2 fills prior to finding out about the baby, so at this time, I believe I have a total of 4cc's in my band, with relatively good restriction. I find myself hungry every 2-3 hours though, and am wondering if this is too frequant? Since it has been so long, I forgot everything and need to brush up. I am wondering if anyone out there has some good documents that may help with guidelines and meal ideas, and the correct amount to eat at each meal, etc. I am going to do this the right way! Any help is a lot of help!

Thanks so much!

Also, if I can answer any of your questions you may have, I am open!

Thanks a lot and take care!

Steph

      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.
