I got my band on 9/11/12. So far, so good. I just tried some cream of wheat for the first time mixed with Protein powder...... Not as good as I thought it would be, but was nice to feel something a little more solid in my stomach.

At first I was so afraid to even drink anything taking these little baby sips, but honestly I've realized I really don't think I have any restriction but haven't had a fill yet. Has anyone had their first fill???? Was wondering if there's a big difference?

I was banded 9/6 I haven't had a fill yet but I do feel restriction. I get very full from less than a cup and it last about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. it might be because I'm still swollen but I can totally tell a difference from now and pre band

I have Greek yogurt for Breakfast they come in 6oz but I never finish it so I save the rest for a snack. for lunch I have a soft boiled egg or fat free chili or fat free refried Beans with a little salsa And for dinner I have tuna with no mayo. and for Snacks I have yogurt or apple sauce. I still get head hunger but I drink my fluids to get over that. I've also been Walking two miles a day

Hmmm maybe that's why I don't feel full then, because I really haven't started on food yet. Thanks for responding. It gives me hope that I'll feel much better once I can actually eat something!

      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.
