Surgery on Friday, 21st...Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Hello new-bandsters, I was wondering if you are hungry before it is time to eat. My nutrition protocol is to eat proper Protein source every 5 hours period. I may snack in between on sugar popsicles or Jello, but I find that I get hungry in between. It isn't head hunger either, its the rumbling in the tummy kind. I have been following directions, but I'd like to know that I've got some buddies out there in my situation. Therefore, we shall struggle together.

Darr,

I was banded on 9/24 and I'm hungry too. I'm adding Protein to liquid 3 times a day, but I still may not be getting enough protein. I tried to add it to Tomato Soup yesterday, but it just clumped. Are you having any luck adding it to heated liquids?

I haven't tried adding it to warm meals. I drink protein shakes: Slim Fast Low Carb, unjury. I was told I could eat Soup, so I bought Cambells soup in hand creamy chicken. THis seems to help but I still have grumbling in the tummy, just not as often. I think its getting a little better. How do you feel?

      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?

      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.
