It happens. Be good, eat what your doc tells you to eat. You may be hungry until you get a fill that gives you some restriction.

Yep, we've all been there, done that.lol

Evidentually it will get better, but until then like TMF said, stick to Drs plans and fill those hunger pangs with Water, sf hot chocolate, decafe tea or any other allowable Fluid.< /p>

Good Luck!

I was banded on 12/21 and I was told Clear Liquids the first day then liquid I can fit through a straw after that and I have been having Tomato Soup made with Water and its so much more filling than the broth. I have just been mixing it up. I've lost 12 lbs so far. Good luck.

I am with you on the hungry and bored with what I'm allowed to eat. I had surgery on 12-26-12 and can't wait to feel not hungry. We will survive but it sucks right now.

Some variation to try - French onion Soup, mushroom broth, the liquid from ramen noodles. With all of these I just added 1/4 cup to 3/4 cup of chicken broth. They don't have enough Protein on their own but did change up the taste of the chicken broth.

Man oh man oh man I don't envy you at all! I would make a mushy and thin it out with milk until it was a liquid.

Favorite: ricotta cheese, applesauce and Protein powder with milk.

Or add a teaspoon of cream of rice to your shake!

      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.
