text book procedure...couldn't have gone better...but I'm really hungry for real food but have to play the game by the rules....excited about leaving the realm of 300+ pounds and start charging down hill thru the 200's! I collected 15 pages of your recipies but being a "guy" I have nothing to contribute. Haven't had an original thought ever. But would still like to get a copy of the menu book someone was putting together. Thanx for all the comments you gals post and it is much better than the meeting they have here in Denver.:clap2:

Congrats on surgery!!!!! You poor thing....I have not heard many stories of folks who were hungry at 2 days post-op. Most of us completely lose our appetites for at least a few days if not a week or two immediately post-op! You're getting ripped off on the "honeymoon" phase!

But, you are right...you have to play the game and you can do it. You already have the right attitude to succeed.

Keep sipping those liquids and happy healing!

I got banded 2 days before you can I am also feeling the hunger, especially in the evening. Stick to the liquid cause someone local that had the band for 2 weeks had some chili and reacted to it. She ripped apart inside :confused:

Not trying to scare anyone, just remember that we are healing. I find popsicles help and bulion cubes with hunger (sometimes)

      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.
