Take it easy. I did not have a desire to eat and at times I still do not. Had to get Isopure Protein to drink. Make sure you are drinking well. Had lap band 3/30 and still no fill, due to poor appetite and good wt. lost, 23lbs since 3/30.

I was banded same day 4-19 and I have an appt. for a fill on May 21st...but if I dont want one or if I am losing still then I dont have to get one. I am getting hungry for solids, but not craving anything in particular...you know the one thing that I thought I could not live without...PIZZA...never even crosses my mind. I am not saying I will NEVER eat it...but I dont have the I HAVE TO HAVE pizza NOW OR I AM GONNA SCREAM attitude that I had pre band. I am eating mushies and tonight I had chicken breast that I cooked all day in crock pot...added some veggies and potatoes....and this evening had a wonderful meal...well, if you can call it a meal...blended up the chicken with some of the juice and it was delicious...veggies were mushy and mashe some potato up.... It was a great and family could eat it too!!

Hey, it's nice to have met someone who had surgery the same time as me. I have been getting on my scale and I know I lost more. About 5 more but I wish it could be 10 more. As for having my first fill, I am looking forward to it. I still feel my restriction but I feel I can eat more than I did in the beginning. I have no problems eating solids. Everything has gone too well. What does that mean? Nice meeting you. Please keep in touch.

      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.
