What are you eating to not feel restriction?

When did you have surgery?

I had my surgery about 3 yrs ago and I'm suppose to be on a one day of liquids , but I was hungry and thought well Soup is semi liquid so I had soup which did nothing for me and I ate a sandwich with no restriction at all ... Which should not be normal I ate is if I didn't have a band.

Bands don't stretch. But 1 CC taken out can make it seem like you're back in Bandster hell. Are you looking for restriction or satiety? We all look for that satisfied feeling where we aren't hungry for 3-4 hours after a meal. I can eat a sandwich, salmon, hamburger patty or salad and not feel restriction or have a stuck episode. But, I know when I'm no longer hungry and I stop.

Look for the satiety signal, it's what the band is all about. And, I snuck up on the green zone in .25 CC increments. So, maybe a small .25 will take you there. Work it?

Take it easy! You are probably fine, but try to eat like tmf said, don't eat until you are full, only until you are no longer hungry! Karen..aka..kll724

      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.
