2 weeks post and hungry

[Hersheyskiss21 4]

I had lap band 2 weeks ago and have been in a liquid diet for a month now. But recently I go to bed very hungry with lots of rumbling in my tummy..I eat Soup, 60 G Protein Shake, Jello, pudding and v8 so what am I doing wrong????

Sounds like you're doing nothing wrong. Until you get to solids and with some restriction, its not uncommon. Hang in there for a bit longer, youre doing great with the high Protein Shake. How many calories are you targeting? If you have room in your target, have another High Protein, low cal shake.< /p>

I agree, it doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong. chicken broth an sugar free Jello an pudding got me through that phase. It will get better.

You'll be in "bandster hell" until you get the fill that gives you enough restriction for the band to work it's magic. That may be 1 fill or 6. No one knows. Till then, like our esteemed forum member B-52 says,

"Until there's restriction...It's just another diet"

sounds like you are doing great. once the healing is nearly done, the appetite comes back. at least it did for me. so keep drinking, and doing your thing..but if you are really hungry, nothing wrong with eating a Protein filled item when you are allowed or drink a shake to help....i was on liquids for over a month also so i understand the hungry..SF popsicles saved me

I haven't been counting calories, maybe I will today to see how much I consume...maybe I'm not getting in my calories....I had an initial problem and the doctor took out 2cc's of Fluid from the band so now I'm wondering when ingot for my full Wednesday how much he will fill it. I could barely catch my breath with the 2cc's.

Update: I counted calories and I'm at 820, not sure if that's too low or not, may be why I'm so hungry...
