Hey everyone, I got banded April 12 and lately I've been feeling really hungry. Is it normal for Water or fluids to go through with ease? I read all these threads about it being tough and others having their band slipped but no symptoms so I'm just wondering. Also I had 1 yogurt about 2 days ago and it went with ease. I haven't had anymore since then cause I read about the complications when skipping the diet rules. Any advice? I'm getting paranoid and I can't keep going to Mexico to reach my surgeon for little things I feel. ???£ Also did anyone get infections on their bottom incisions? Mine got infected and I'm in antibiotics for it to get better but it's taking super long (another paranoia)

With the lapband all liquids will go through ease just like a clogged plug. You will find that you will be hungry for a while after your lapband surgery. I was also. Just keep eating what you are told too and dont worry, everything youre experiencing is normal. You will start to notice the lapband working after a few fills. Remember its not immediate, that is what a lot of people struggle to understand. Good luck!

Liquids should go through ease. If you chew properly and take small enough bites, everything should go through with ease. Eating should never be a chore nor should food get stuck.

You talked about going to Mexico, don't you have a local doctor to take of you? You should.

Liquids should pass freely. Don't rush yourself with trying other foods. Find a local doctor, or fill location. Best wishes, Karen

      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.
