I was banded last week. I experienced some mild gas pains for a day or 2, but other than that just some mild discomforts.

I'm on liquids for another week, and am not at all as miserable as I thought I would be. I was prepared to be depressed over the mourning food. I haven't been hungry or lethargic. I'm sorry to be so optimistic to those that are struggling, but I haven't told hardly anybody and have to get it out somewhere.

Good Luck and thanks for listening!

Lots of Water. Well blended fruit smoothies with Protein Powder, broth, french onion Soup (no cheese or croutons), the occasional milkshake. Not very creative, but like I said, I'm just not hungry

I am with you, I am 5 days post opt and feeling great. I am drinking my Protein Shakes because I know I have to get them in but I am just not hungry! I have read so much about bandster hell and worry that my day is coming. so right now I am enjoying not focusing my life around food!

Me too! Day 7 post-op and have had very little physical hunger. Have had some frustration with mental hunger with a few stressful things occurring for work, but the liquid phase is much easier for me than I thought it would be. I have gotten all my Fluid and Protein requirements in every single day, too! The totally awesome thing is I am already seeing the results: 8 lbs since surgery with no real hunger, nausea, pain, etc. Have had some gas build-up the last day or two, but I read to "walk it out" and it seems to be helping. Anyone else have this problem?

      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.
