Well I did it! I got banded June 14th with Dr. Mumford. I had a little bit a problem coming out of the anesthesia but other than that it hasn't been that bad!! I have also been loving the Codeine so that may be a big helper!! I do feel hungry! That just started today. They told me to have 1 Optifast spilt into 3 everyday! How was that for everyone else? Did anyone take more optifast? I have it and I feel full... but then an hour or so later i feel like am hungry and want some more! I haven't had any 'cause i don't wanna screw things up! What are everyone's thoughts?!

Welcome to band world.

I'm so glad things went really well for you.

Hunger was normal for me. I was able to have the Isopro Protein Drink mixed with Water the first few days. That really helped, but you're right 1/2 hr later I was hungry again. I would supplement with broths, popsicles, jell-o, apple and cranberry juices. The juices really helped.

Personally I experienced my hunger getting worst as I moved to full fluids and now that I'm on pureed foods my hunger is under control but my cravings are running rampant :cry. I'm getting to the point that I can't wait to go in for my first fill. Good luck to you.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
