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.

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!

      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.
