Ha! It isn't even really that I'm HUNGRY. I just WANT. TO. EAT! I'm tired of drinking! sugar free Jello with a spoon helps a little. At least fools me into thinking I'm eating! HA

Started on Protein & veggies for 7 days and strictly liquid now 5 days... 2 more to go, scheduled for surgery on Thursday this week... Its definitely not the hunger that drives me crazy but the not chewing anything... The upside, have lost 15lbs in 2 weeks.

Had surgery on December 12th here in Virginia. Lots of pain and gas that won't go away. Everyone says to walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip. Hoping all my walking and sipping will make this gas go away soon.

Sounds like everyone is doing great!!

I mentioned this before, but I think it is worth saying again.

Try out bandwagon supporters as another useful thread.

Loads of people on it, the more knowledge the better.

I was banded on the 21st! Friday and Saturday I was wondering what I just did to myself. I'm feeling much better now (gas pain is going away, that's a plus!)

      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.
