Hunger is this name of the game for a while unfortunately. I drink hot tea in the morning at the end of the day too. I add sweetener to it if I'm especially hungry. Seems to tame the beast. For the rest of the say I just space out the food/ drink.

It gets better by the way.

Good morning LB Fam! I was banded on 10/23 and I'm hungry!!! Is this normal??? Geesh, this isn't fun. To heck with these liquids, I'm ready for a piece of fish or chicken! Even a piece of fruit. Boy oh boy, this is a test of my willpower.

I was banded on 10/9 without restrictions. I was starving, or so I thought, but what I do now is eat about 1/2 to 1 cup every 3 hours or so of mostly Protein. Turkey or chicken lunch meet, some cheese (laughing cow) and maybe half a single serve applesauce. That really works well. Or I really like humus and cucumbers. I lost more weight doing this because my body wasn't going into starvation mode. Hope this helps.

OMG I really need a lashing. These past three days trying to prepare for this storm, and then making it through it I've been grazing ALOT... One of my biggest issues before I started my Weight loss journey. It also doesn't help that the power is still out an food choices are limited.

      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.
