Recommended Posts

Hey everyone my name is Rocky . I got my band on Monday and it took 6 hours to put in ?? Anyway I had a lot of gas but that has since died down a lot and the gas pain is pretty much down . I was wondering I still feel hungry a lot is that normal ? I'm only eating Jello Water and tea and I had Soup twice just broth .

hi rocky i got my lapband done on the 24th jan and the wind pain has been terrible and also very stingy pain over the port cut still when i sit up from or turn over in bed but im following the book i got from the surgeons office called fork knife and band and you should be having 6 half cups of thin Soup or smoothies or Optifast shakes a day now plus you can have tea and coffee as well but small cups.i cooked up Soups and blended them and they are very satisfying and full of nutrients as well so try a bit more so you dont have to feel hungry.

I use either muscle milk light or proti-diet protien drinks. Depending if I want a shake type drink or a fruit type drink.

      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.
