I don't know how adventurous an eater you might be, but I found that the international section of my local grocery (which has a fairly large selection of international foods due to diversity of our local university community) gave me more options with greater flavor. One of my favorites to date (I'm 2 weeks post-surgery today) is Red Curry Lentil Soup - very creamy and flavorful. I have also liked the Indian section - lentil Soups.< /p>

Hang in there -- I'm struggling with the extended liquid diet portion of this thing - but am determined to make it WORK -- I'm 56 years old, having fought with being overweight ALL of my life -- and am SO READY to put it behind me. I'm certain that this is the longest period I have been sans meat since my baby teeth emerged - craving meat like crazy, but keep telling myself that this is one short period of my life -- and the future lies ahead.

Good luck on your journey!

The hungry feeling could also be thirst which is often times confused- especially by us over eaters, so make sure to drink plenty Water or crystal light. At 4 days in your band is not yet doing much to curb your appetite without a fill so being hungry is expected but try to follow the guidelines set by your surgeon and nutritionist. Protein Shakes are important especially early in the healing process. If you're in the liquid phase stick to liquids- pureeing solids doesn't make them liquid so be careful to follow your doctors instructions for your own safety despite what may have worked for anyone else on the forum. Hate to see people with early band flips because they pushed themselves into solids too soon. Best of luck!

Great Advice, ( people should really stick to the phases as directed, for their own benefit..)

I hear your pain. Try having a some Soup that is a little bit heartier. That will definitely help satiate that hunger!

I found some really good flavor-pop-ice that is made with Splenda. I get them at Walgreeens. They come in a pink box of 16 each for $1.00. Only one dollar!! These help curb my appetite between the liquid meals. Please try them I think this will help. Good Luck!
