iammisslinda 10 Posted June 8, 2012 I was banded on Monday June 4 2012. I am on Clear Liquids until Monday and I am soooo hungry. My stomach will not stop growling. Anybody else dealing with this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jean McMillan 2,973 Posted June 8, 2012 You're not alone! My dietitian told me I wouldn't be hungry after my surgery, but she was wrong. I was hungry starting on day 2, and clear liquids didn't do much to help. But there are some very good reasons for following the liquid diet, and I've just posted an LBT Magazine article about how to survive the liquid diet that might help you.

readytogoforit 172 Posted June 8, 2012 keep sipping liquids as often as possible. I was not hungry for many, many days after the surgery (I also had a hiatal hernia repair). try to walk too, it will help when the shoulder pain comes. this too shall pass, trust what the docs told you to do, it is sooooo worth it!

Kflower84 56 Posted June 10, 2012 It's true. I thought I wouldn't be hungry after the surgery but I was. It was hard. I was told not to drink Water. You need some calories in you for energy. Try drinking warm skim milk. Diluted fruit juice. Gatorade. Sugarfree Jello. The worst part for me were the stomach cramps I would get in the middle of the night. My surgeon said it was gas due to the way I was drinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
