Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I had lapband surgery on the 10th of this month. My recovery is ok, I have not thrown up and I'm a little sore but I am starving and have a massive headache!! I don't know what to do. I feel like I've made the biggest mistake. I'm on a 7 day liquid diet and I'm constantly starving. I need suggestions or advice PLEASE!!!

Maybe try a Soup that's a little thicker. Such as potato soup without chunks. That's what I did after my band to get me through.

Sf Jello, sf popsicles, sf pudding, Protein Shakes, applesauce, these were all approved on my liquid diet.

I'm experiencing this today!! I am 5 days post op today and HUNGRY. I've been having Tomato Soup, slim fasts shakes etc but today I blended up a tin of chicken and veg broth and it seems to have worked....for now!

Protein, protein, protein. My dietician made sure that I was having at least 3 Protein Shakes a day, or putting protein powder into my Soups. I promise it will help you feel full!

Had my surgery 4 days ago and yes, I've been quite hungry, too. I go to the doctor for post op tomorrow, and I think I'll get the band adjusted then and be able to start eating solids then. I know that after I start on solids, I should only be eating three meals a day, so I kept thinking that that's how this time period was supposed to be, too. I emailed my doc about it, and he said to not deprive myself when I feel hungry. I think the liquids just go right through the band, which is why so much hunger. At least I'm hopeful that this will result in some weight loss!

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
