Yes, in fact 2 weeks on clear liquids followed by 2 weeks full liquids.

Same as Missy. 2 weeks clear liquids & 2 weeks full liquids. The good news....its only temporary. You will get through this. Best of luck to you.

Try some clear Liquid Protein or unflavored powder to add to you drinks.< /p>

Most of us have been there and done that. I promise that you won't starve to death. In fact, be pleased that you are feeling well enough to feel hungry. It means that you are healing well.

i most certainly was. the doctor didnt tell me but on the day of surgery he filled me with 5cc on my 14cc band. i am guessing this is why. so any questions call your doctor and see what is happening. as for me i stuck it out with following the liquid diet without any complications or death, lol, that was kinda a joke...okay here is another one....i would tell people at work when they would ask, "is that all you are eating---drinking Protein shakes and Water?" i would say yes, cause my doctor said that i already ate enough food for all my life and that now i need to drink lots of Fluid for the rest of my life. i thought it was funny

but thinking that i was going to do it for the rest of my life made the 2 weeks go by faster!!!

to me humor helps, hope it helps you too

I did 3 days clear liquid and 30 days full liquid. The time will go by quickly.

Try to keep yourself busy doing other things so you won't be thinking about food.< /p>

Lol Lee! Do y'all think sugar free watered down hot cocoa will be ok?

I was two days clear, one week liquid, and I am just finishing up one week mushies. It's amazing how different the post op instructions are around the board huh? I had a real hungry thing going on during full liquids, but it resolved itself. Try to stay busy doing anything not in/near your kitchen -- I found that as long as I was near my fridge I really really really wanted whatever was in there. When I was out of range, I didn't even feel hungry. My first day back at work I almost forgot I had brought my Protein Shake and went from 8 in the morning to late afternoon sipping Water and not being hungry. I walked in my kitchen and the head hunger snapped on like a light.
