I wish I knew what to say, I was not that hungry...but what I did was drink my fluids as much as possible and also treated myself to popsicles, just hang in there....remember it is for the good!!!

Day 2 was the worst for me also. Popsicles and sugar free Jello helped me the most. If your doctor allows yogurt at this stage I have found yoplait light with no chunks or seeds help me out a lot right now. I'm only 5 days post op now but it gets better!

I am on day 4 post op and still not hungry. I have stomach gurgles but don't feel like putting food inside. I have stuck to the liquid diet of thinned out yorgart, thinned out Soup and thinned out shake with yogart and I mean it is all pretty thin and I take small half teaspoons at a time. I sip Water all day.

Are you allowed Protein Shakes as well? Try spacing out your eating: so broth and then an hour later the shake. I realize you will be hungry after the broth but if you wait to have the shake it will help you with the mental game of knowing it's only another hour before you can eat again. Instead of it being 3-4 hours.

I am allowed Protein Shake but nothing feels good inside. I have thinned out a shake with milk to help but just not hungry.

I wasn't hungry at all either but it will pass. I had mine in 2007 and am down 130lbs

The pain in my shoulder is so much worse today. I have a heating pad on it but boy is it uncomfortable for some reason. Is this normal for 5 day post op? Usually laying down with the heating pad helps in minutes but not now. I did have a bath though and leaned over the tub to wash my hair. I guess I might have overdone it. I hear a lot of gurgling in my tummy but not from hunger.

I didn't have that so I'm not sure what it is. When I'm doubt call your doctor. That's what he makes all that money for. Lol

I have the shoulder pain as well. It didnt start until postop day 3. If I am laying down it seems to be fine but when I sit up that's when it starts. I hope this doesnt last for too long. I am walking around the house a lot and then walk around the block once a day. Not sure what else to try.

Today is so much better, the pain is almost gone completely and I am now able to walk just over a mile at a pretty good pace. It is amazing how much diffence a day makes. Just waiting for the bloated toad stomach to go down and things will be good. I sure have drank my fair share of peppermint tea. That helped with the gas pain it seems. It does get better believe me. I still can't eat much though and still sipping Water carefully.

Did you have a hernia? My doctor told me I had one, so while I was there he sewed it up and told me I would have left shoulder pain. It went away in a couple of days.

If surgeon has your band not filled just installed, as I call it, remember that your body is healing from the change of a foreign object in there. I remember drinking lots of Gatorade, liquid Jello, beef broth, Protein bullets, etc. soon you will be ok I promise. We tend to focus on what we CAN eat. This will pass I promise.
