Just Started The Mushies - Hooray !!



Recommended Posts

I was banded on May 21, full liquid diet for the required 10 days and went to post-op appointment to be told another 2 weeks of liquids - bummer! Saw nutritionist the next day - change of plans. I was hungry all the time on liquid but this morning I found out that if you eat a little too large of bites or a little too fast the food says it wants to make a repeat appearance. The difference between no restriction with liquids and no restriction (no fill yet) for mushies is amazing. How's eating going for you other May 2012 Bandsters?

I was banded the 24th and I'm very hungry. My post op appt is not until june13. I'm doing Protein Shakes and it's not working. I have cheated and had mashed potatoes. I'm starving and no energy.

I was banned on the 23rd and sometimes I feel hungry but not often. When I do, I add 1 scoop of my powered version of my milk shake and mix it. It's only 197 cal and 27g Protein per 8oz and taste great. It satifies my sweet tooth and fills me up!! I started my mushy foods today and I'm just fine, actually I feel as if it's too much.

Btw, my drinks are from GNC called Lean 25 they have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry. Also have power in which I buy the Cookies and cream and I add it to the liquid vanilla and it taste like a melted milk shake...mmmm. I also add the chocolate power to the strawberry to get chic covered strawberries!!!

Good luck

Jannaboo, what helped me when I was hungriest was either low fat no sugar pudding or cream of wheat. Both of them have some substance to them and helped me feel a little full for a little while. I was also permitted cream of chicken Soup put through the blender to eliminate the chunks of chicken. I ate it slowly with a spoon and it seemed to do the trick. Hang in there - you'll get through this. I keep saying that in a year I won't even remember this part. Good luck!

      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.
