Hey Kelley - Welcome to LBT and congratulations on your new band. Making it through the liquid stage can be rough! Feeling a bit hungrier though is normal, as the swelling in your stomach from surgery has probably now gone down.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask away. That's what we're all here for :rolleyes:

Welcome Kelley and congratulations on your banding! You might want to find the November bandsters thread somewhere here, too, as there will be others who were banded around the same time.

Hello and welcome Kelly,

I hope everything is going well for you and yes from what I went through it is very normal. You need to just concentrate on healing and not worry at all about how much you can eat for now. It will all come in time and once you get good restriction it will not at all be a problem. Just wanted to say hi and congrats.

      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.
