I had to drink 2oz every hour to keep from starving the first week. Some people are hungry the day after surgery. Good Luck

I'm 7 days post-op and still on clear liquids. I've been hungry since 2 days after my surgery. Know you're not alone! :wacko:

I feel your pain! I'm also a week out and cant wait to eat something that has a chance of sustaining me more than 40 min. My stomach gets in knots if I dont constantly put something in it. All I hear is constant gurgling followed by uncomfortable gas moving around.

I must not have gotten the same memo you got about Fluid consumption. I drink as much as I want all day long. I'll finished off a 20 oz protein&vitamin powder drink in 20 minutes. Everything goes right down the hatch and past the band. I can handle being hungry, but dehydration is a whole different animal. Its so interesting the lack of continuity between one doctor's methods for treatment to another. I still have pain everyday where the band is, but it's never been while or after I drank something. This is such a personal process and I'm grateful to read the stories from others and learn from them.

      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.
