Any tricks to help curb the hunger!? I have not fualtered once, nor will I:) however it is brutal!! Popsicles seem to really help, no sugar/ low calorie ones. Any advice is great. And yup, I'm drinking Protein everyday.

Hello, I just got my band on the 3rd...I am hungry too = ( but you mentioned 18 pounds already? Is it because be only have liquids or are you excersising as well? When do the shoulder gas pains go away?

Are you on Clear Liquids or full liquids? For full liquids I put cream of mushroom Soup (the good kind, not condensed) in the blender to puree the mushrooms. Then I cooked it with some added broth. It was yummy. Also try mixing a couple spoons of smooth salsa into V-8 and heating it.

Thanks for the ideas! It took me a good week and half for the gas pain to to away, they were definitely no fun:(

If you are only three days out you should be on liquids I imagine... 3 to 4 shakes a day and you can still eat Soups, Jello and so forth. The Protein will curve your hunger. You should be taking in around 80 to 100 grams of protein a day.
