Don't be afraid to call and ask your surgeon questions. They are there to help you.

Other than that I don't really have much to add in the subject. Please keep us posted on your situation though.

Mike, I have never felt like I should stop eating. When I complained to my doc they said that that wasn't point of banding. That it was to keep me full between meals. Call your doc. But I wouldn't be overly worried.

Have you had any fills? Until you get restriction from fills you can eat larger portions than what is good for weight loss. My doctor says to weight out 3 oz of Protein. Then eat low cal veggies until satisfied. Early on in your journey you will still feel hungry. That's why it's called Bandster Hell.

If you spread your eating out over a long period you can eat forever. Stop yourself at the proper portion sizes. If you continue to feel hungry between meals talk to your doctor about a fill. The goal is not to eat until you feel full, just eat to feel satisfied.

      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.
