The thing is that I was banded on may 7th so I've been on liquids for two weeks now, but I feel more hungry after being banded. I don't eat really because the smell of broth or sf Jello and Popsicles make me sick. I know I know this is why I'm hungry but when I do eat these things I'm still hungry. Maybe not enough Protein? Help! I can't wait until mushy food stage.

I think you are right on with needing more Protein. I know it's tough before you can eat - but I put Protein Powder in pudding and yogurt etc. Which I thinned with milk. Anyway you can get it'!

Can you add milk, yogurt, and cottage cheese? These are Proteins and will help fill you.

I think that after the initial gas is gone, (most) everyone feels hungry. As you transition back to real foods, you will feel more satisfied. I would recommend more Protein until then so you aren't tempted to make bad food choices.

      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.
