I am so hungry



Recommended Posts

did they tell you Clear Liquids? or can u have thicker, creamy liquids?

they let me have creamy ones, and i found that campbells Soup at hand were a god send! I also made fat free yogurt smoothies with fruit-also very filling.

I can have broth, but no creamy Soups until 2 weeks post. I can eat yogurt and pudding htough. Seems kind of weird.

hmm.. well you could make crystal light slushies.. those were nice too , takes awhile to eat/drink so keeps your mouth occupied for a longer time

Have you tried sugar free popcycles? Warm herbal tea seemed to make me feel a little fuller than cold drinks. The Protein Shakes really helped me stay full longer. I still drink one to two every single day.

Good luck...u can do it, its hard though. The weight willl start melting off and once you feel that~ it really does get easier.

Well for me that is what it was but every doctor has a different plan but I would say that if you stick with the 64 ounces per day then yeah... you should be good... just make sure its Protein based to help curb the hunger...... Protein helps to curb that hunger..... good luck and welcome to lapband land!!!!!:blush::thumbup::rolleyes2::thumbup:

      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.
