I'm not starving I'm just sick of liquids, but I know it's not worth messing up my band! Think of it this way one more week of liquids and you'll be off to mushies! Then, it's done!

It is definitely hard this time of the year to have a surgery like this.

I am 3 days post op and was fighting a bit of a battle with everything looking so good! I did really good and my family is very supportive so my mom served me my broth and the dinner table. I had no problem helping my mother get all the food together! Just think next year we will be lbs lighter and able to eat. Congrats everyone!

Very normal. Im not hungry just the want. Want pizza and all the goodies here at work. Cooking for the family is hard. Its funny you dont realize how much you used to taste test while cooking, lick your spoon or finger. Its been tought im only 4 days post op and down 8 lbs since getting banded. My scale has been great motivation.

      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.
