:hungry:Did any of you ever actually think we would be sitting here at our computers exchanging ideas on putting tuna in a blender??? Or eggs? One year ago, I was worrying if we had enough Syrup for the stack of pancakes. We have come a long way,:clap2:

Hi,

I am two days out from Lap band. My doctor discourages the RnY and is a strong supporter of the Lapband. You don't have the malabsorption issues or Hair loss with this procedure. Girl, I am so sick of broth. It looks like dirty Water and I just can't stomache it any more. My husband had lab band procedure in June. He has lost 30 lbs and is doing great. The first day of surgery I had mostly ice chips. Yesterday which was one day post op, I had some mashed potatoes. I am suppose to be on Clear Liquids too, but I just can't stomache it any more.I am not hungry and I don't think of food all the time, the sleep position is on my side and that is the way I slept anyway. I am just sore, but I plan to return to work on Tuesday morning. Good luck.

      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.
