Learning to eat small, chew big very slowly is one of the biggest challenges of being banded. You need to chew more and take smaller bites. You have what we call restriction. Pay attention to your hunger now. It's also a challenge to learn if it's truly hunger or is it a craving?

Once you start to feel restriction you should start to feel satiated much sooner. Pay attention to the stop signals, like hiccups, runny nose and disinterested in eating.

Shrimp is actually a tough food to eat if it's overcooked, can become very hard... Did u pop the whole shrimp in ur mouth or take bites of it? I have to cut my shrimp up and eat it piece by piece if I don't cook it myself... Good luck on your journey and eat slow & chew chew chew.

      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.
