So banded May 20th :). Very happy about that but as of right now I have no restrictions yet. Which means I can eat as if before banded. Not portion wise tho i am measuring and weighIng my foods. I am trying so hard to chew small bites and eat slowly but it is so hard!! :( First fill next week so I need to get this down an focus ! Thanks for letting me vent :)

Hi bindi. I too was banded on 5/20 and I have no restriction and it is hard for me to eat slow and chew until Mush. I also get my first fill Monday. I am hungry again now. I just want to eat. I have lost 20 lbs and want to lose 45 more. I want to cry because I think the weight should be coming off faster and I should not be wanting to eat eat and eat

Hi ! We have been eating this way for so long and being hungry makes me eat even faster !!! It's hard to "teach an old dog new tricks" :). I to have lost 20 and have 50 more to go which I WILL lose.. I just ate and am hungry also. When I feel this way I will sip on a cup of hot tea and it really helps. Or I'll have a sugar free Popsicle . Good luck on Monday I go Thursday ! Keep me posted and we CAN do this.

I was banded on may21 and have really started to get hungry too! It's crazy how that happens. :) my first fill isn't until the 25th. In the meantime I am exercising and tracking my calories. I have been on a plateau for the last two weeks and that is making me crazy! ;) Definitely going to be ready for a fill!

      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.
