Had Lap Band Surgery Thursday And Starving

[MNBstar76 2]

I had my surgery on Thursday and I haven't had anything to eat since 11/16 (day before). I drink Water, eat Jello and Protein Shakes. What else can I do? I am starving!

How much Protein are in your drinks? Try to get the highest amount of protein to help make this process easier. Good luck - it does get better.

I bought Costso's chicken Bullion to try to get through that rough period, and it helped

stave off the worst of the hunger pangs for a while. sugar free fudgesicles were a big help,along with Crystal lite. That's the best I can do.

I was recommended to blend and strain lite Soup, I did that for about 2 weeks post op and then went on to puree. I also had sugar free popsicles and light yogurt smoothies. It seemed to work good for me in the beginning. My problem started with the solid's.

I blended in a tbsp of LF Peanut Butter to my Protein Shakes. It upped the Protein and seemed a bit more satisfying. Someone on here had suggested getting miso Soup and straining it for the broth. I did that as well and found it satisfying.

I dont normally advocate for processed food but this Soup was my saviour, it is really satisfying and taste nice, it is low carb and sugar, which i had to have while i was still diabetic, or i made my own soup with green veg and stick blended it till it was as smooth as a protien shake.

Thank you guys. I have to plan my meals better. I work 12 hour shifts, so by the time my shift is winding down, I'm starving. I will take a shake to work with me tomorrow and have it around 7 and push my Breakfast back so they are 8 hours apart instead of 16.
