Hello All,

I was band 12/22/11. I physcially feel great!!! I am just starving to death and feel hungry all the time despite my daily regimen of Decaf tea, pina colada Protein Shakes, sugar free hot chocolate, and popscicles. I am frustrated because the scale has not moved in a week. I went from 243-224, and the scale said I gained 1 pound this morning. I feel so discouraged. I stopped today and had lasagna Soup from salad works. After I ate it, I feel super guilty becaue I swalled the noodles as well as the meat, and it felt great going down. I start mushies friday but I am afraid that I am going to gain my weight back that I lost so far. Has this happend to anyone before? Have you gained weight after mushies and how much should I be eating once I start mushies? FOr instane, if I eat tuna fish, how much can I have because I havent had any restriction yet. Can I have crackers with that tuna fish if I crumble them up real fine? Also for those of you on mushies, how often do you eat on a daily basis? Assistance please :)

My doctor said to weigh the mushies out to 3 oz. No crackers they are not mushie they are solids and nothing but processed carbs. Yes I know it sucks.

      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.
