Hungry!!!!

[tanieya 10]

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.

Thanks guys for all the advice because this is all really new to me. Called my doctor bright and early and said I can have sugar free full liquids thank god, and I was suppose to be drinking my Protein shakes oops. I am down 23 pounds though so that's great!!!
