I m not able to drink much or eat much. Tried to eat some applesauce but only ate about 5 teaspoons n I was full. I m not hungry either. Tired of chicken broth hate the beef broth so I m trying some pudding today. Love the Popsicles even though half is all I can do if a single Popsicles not the twinsies like we used to have as kids.

I took two weeks off from work. I was banded Monday July 1 and returned to work earlier than anticipated in a reduced schedule and started in July 10. I took it easy Tried not to lift anything to heavy and lighten my therapy bag only bringing a few items to work it. Take it easy and remember to drink your Water and I packed my meals because I do home based therapy and travel from patient to patient :) good luck

      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.
