Hi:) this is my 6 day after lap band surgery. I'm still on liquid diet but I don't feel physically hungry but would like to eat on a mental level. I feel full after drinking. Do you?

the soup slides straight down to the stomach so it would be lie you got full normally. It doesn't sit in your new baby stomach.

The beginning stage after surgery tests your will power... Just knowing this will help you get through it.

I personally was not hungry physically after surgery, but boy did I miss that party in my mouth. You know the taste the texture... But frankly I has waited so long 18 monthes for insurance on a one year supervised diet by insurance, and a Dr change that there is just no way I was eating one thing t hat was not on my list.

And so it began, that road to healthy eating, doing what I was told , and how I was told to do it. Because my rebellious way sure had not worked for me, thats why I needed the lapband.

I believe 80% of our hunger comes from our mind and 20% from our stomach. And when we learned to listen to the 20% we really get a handle on this food thing. And in the end that is what will get you to your goal weight . It's tough some folks call it bander hell the real battle is with your mind because you can do great on very little food especially when you have a lot to lose in the begining. Best of Luck you are not alone..

I had my band put in on the 4th and I have noticed if I drink it leaves me unfulfilled but if I grab a yogurt, creme of wheat or oatmeal I feel full and don't have those hunger feelings. I do miss some of the foods I like. I have been on the liquid longer then most because of my size.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
