I just got my LapBand in on November 13th and I am not going to lie I have been very, very hungry on this liquid diet to the point where my stomach hurts so bad.... this morning and was thinking screw this I am going to eat something...before I did I got a glass of Water and decided to go on this website. I want to thank every single person on here. Not only do I understand how hard this stage is BUT! I am not the only one and IT!!! will get better. Reading all of the comments good and bad just makes me understand that losing weight is not easy on anyone and we all need support especially going through the LapBand process.

I put the scale away.

I am sticking to my liquids.< /p>

xoxo

Congratulations on sticking with it! The liquid stage will pass and things will get better. It might take a few weeks, but its so worth it.

Good for you.... I know the beginning is VERY hard... and it takes determination. When people hear I've had the lapband, they assume that I haven't had to work for my weight loss... NOT true. I've fought for evey pound. Keep up the determination...and keep in mind... this will pass... I will be healthier...

      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.
