I am on my pre-op diet, since 2 days and I m already feeling deprived. Does this appetite attack continue even after surgery? Because technically the grehlin part of the stomach will be functional even after the surgery. What are ur experiences? How do u deal with such situation?Scheduled for plication on 14 jun.

What Pre- op plan are you on and for how long? After the surgery (I hear) you will be full easily but will be hungry again every 2-3 hours. I plan on surgery early fall.

I am a vegetarian and am on a general Soup diet. They said pre-op diet wasn't mandatory in my case(dunno why). I m just being careful. My favourite soup is a mix veg(bottle gourd, Tomato, spinach, cabbage); just give it a whistle in a pressure cooker and grind everything in mixer (no straining), and add a little black pepper pwd and some KCl( a type of salt we call 'sendha namak' which flushes out unhealthy toxins from our tissues and helps detoxing the liver). Occasionally, I take some cucumber or bottle gourd juice, lemon-honey Water and green tea and cooked pulses.

I had plication May 29. I'm sure I probably still have swelling, but I'm not very hungry. I get full after a small amount and I'm not hungry again for at least 3 hours or more.

I'm 2 weeks post op banded plication. So, I'm still new and healing. I decided to do the procedure because the early research shows promising results, but of course the procedure is still new. I'm hopeful to have early weight loss from the plication and then use the band to supplement when/if weight loss slows down. Started out highest last month at BMI 36 and now I'm BMI 33. I'm on soft foods for another 2 weeks (yogurt, tuna salad, cottage cheese, Soup, etc). I go back to the doctor at the end of the month. I'm feeling good and just trying not to weigh myself too much!

I am on the pre-op diet my doctor has prescribed and it has been tough at times but this is a long term commitment and I am ready. I can do anything for two weeks..:) I am 8 days in and I have lost 11.5 pounds. I started out drinking 4 Protein Shakes a day and then went down to three and added a V-8 or chicken broth. I eat popcicles (sugar free) and I cut my Protein with soy milk, sugar free carmel pudding, banana, pineapple, etc. I try not to put too much fruit in so I can keep my carbs around 70. I am logging my food on myfitnesspal. I love the website and it is so easy to use to keep track of carbs calories Proteins etc..... I plan on using it after surgery as well!

      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.
