4 days and hungry?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I was banded on Monday and have only had Clear Liquids. I'm at a point where I'm sorta hungry. This afternoon I had about 2/3 or sf ff Jello. But all I want right now is something of substance! I know I need to just keep strong and the will power is why I got this surgery because I have it, but does or did anyone else feel this way?

We have all been/are hungry. Your body can not survive without hunger. Even at restriction you are still going to get hungry.

Don't know if your Dr. ever showed you this, but the "Green Zone" is where you will want to be, eventually.....

You just had surgery...there is not much you can do but count your calories, diet, etc....

It took me 4-5 months and a few band adjustments to get to where my hunger was brought under control....

      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.
