I was banded on April 25 th still do not feel like my self. I am only taking Clear liquids at this time but I feel like the liquids are sitting in the middle of my chest. I still have gas pains and am tired. I am walking and trying to stay active but I am very uncomfortable. On the plus side I am not hungry at all. Any advice?

I was also banded on the 25th about 10 am. Im not hungry, but I eat Jello twice a day and sip chicken broth twice a day. I also have one sugar free popsicle a day and sip Water and diet green tea throughout the day. The pains im having are straining to get out of bed or walking around gives me gas pains. Im wondering when I can have mashed potatoes though... What did your doc say?

Nothing but Clear Liquids for 2weeks. I can only take 2or 3 bites of Jello and I'm full. I want to cry because I just want to have one large burp and I think I will feel better

I was banded on the 26th. I am not doing horrible but not great either. I just want to EAT something and I guess what we have to remember is this is only the beginning. Keep our eyes on the prize!! I'm praying not only for my own strength but for all of us to be strong and know that we can finally beat this!!!!! Hang in there and keep your chin up and I will try to keep mine up too! :)

      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.
